Umbra et Imago (lt.: "Shadow and Image") was formed in autumn 1991 and initially (first 2 albums) was a genuine dark electro wave gotik band; soonafter becomes a gothic metal-/Neue Deutsche Härte-band. In picking up Sigmund Freud's idea that sexuality was the center of our being they processed sadomasochistic fantasies though their cynic lyrics. The band is famous for incorporating BDSM acts and complex pyrotechnics into their live shows.
