Schakal (German jackal) — the second single by Swiss gothic metal band Lacrimosa, released in 1994 by Hall of Sermon.
“Schakal” is the only single from Inferno album. The single contains four tracks, including two versions of the title composition. Lyrics and music were written by Tilo Wolff.
In the band’s history “Schakal” is the first record, where Anne Nurmi participated. She sang a fragment in Finnish on the title.
Also a music video was made for “Schakal” in 1995, which then was included in Lacrimosa’s first video collection — “The Clips 1993—1995”. In 2005 “Musikkurzfilme” was released, DVD-collection of all (at that time) Lacrimosa’s music videos, including the “Schakal” video.
Unreleased versions of “Schakal” and “Vermachtnis Der Sonne” were included in Schattenspiel which was dedicated to 20-anniversary of Lacrimosa in 2010.
