In My Rosary was a German darkwave/neofolk music project with two members, Ralf Jesek and Dirk Lakomy. Though apparently a temporary project, the band has released over a dozen albums since its formation in 1993. Their sound is reminiscent of both acoustic folk music and early gothic rock/new wave, and incorporates electronic elements in varying degrees.
In 2011, Ralf Jesek and Dirk Lakomy went their separate ways. Ralf now continues the style of In My Rosary in the new project I-M-R, with the same live members as before. Dirk makes a more electro style of music with friend Tobias Birkenbeil under the name Lakobeil.
