Wiederkehr der Schmerzen is the second album by the German gothic metal band Necromance, released on Pleitegeier Records in 1999.

Otherwise the album continued on the direction characterized by distorted guitars, symphonic keyboards, Runhardt Scheffler's rough vocals, danceable drums, and dark romantic atmosphere.

The guitarist Sandra Bogdan contributed to a few tracks with romantic vocals, including "Our Love in Our Tears," and the instrumental "Genesareth," with the warm guitar chords painting soundscapes, is considered by some critics as the best song on the album.

Wolf-Rüdiger Mühlmann wrote in the issue 148 of Rock Hard that the album was a significant shift in the style and that the band winds in theatrical melancholy.

[2] Metal Heart wrote in its September 1999 issue: "Necromance sparkles with real fireworks of ideas on their second album Wiederkehr der Schmerzen.
