Umbra et Imago (lt.: "Shadow and Image") was formed in autumn 1991 and until 1994 (first 2 albums and 1 minialbum) was an electronic dark electro wave gotik band; since 1995 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.
