The band comments: “What took place at the O2 Forum Kentish Town in London on the 19th of January 2018 was pure magic. It was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience for us as a band and as people. The work involved, the pre-performance tension, the intensity on stage, the energy between us and the audience — all of this was beyond anything we’ve ever done before. This event was not just a show, it was a birthday party, an anniversary celebration and most importantly a huge THANK YOU to everyone who travelled side by side with us for the last twenty years. And now, with the release of ‘The 119 Show – Live In London’, we can also share the magic with those fans who weren’t able to party with us in January.”

LACUNA COIL singer Cristina Scabbia explained to Tattoo.com that “there is a reason” January 19 was chosen as the date for the anniversary show. “It’s because 1/19 is recognized as ‘Lacuna Coil Day,’ because we have a song that’s called ‘1.19’, so the people from the fan club and the fans decided to declare it ‘Lacuna Coil Day,'” she said. “And we thought about making a special show in London, because, logistically, we thought it was the easiest way to reach, even for people who are not coming from Europe, our area. Usually the flights are cheaper. Like, if you come from the States, it’s easier to reach London than Milano, for instance, [which] is our hometown. So we thought about London.”

After the release the band will head out for a European tour to support the release of “The 119 Show – Live In London”.

Early 2018 also saw singer Cristina Scabbia take on the prominent role of a coach for “The Voice Of Italy” on prime-time Italian national TV. LACUNA COIL were recently awarded the fan voted “Best Live Band” award at the prestigious Metal Hammer Golden Gods in London, U.K. Additionally, they were announced for a very important career recognition award for their 20 years together as a band from MEI, which is the annual meeting of the Independent labels in Italy.

LACUNA COIL is working on its first-ever book, also titled “Nothing Stands In Our Way”, which is scheduled to be published later in the year.

Co-singer Andrea Ferro told the Impact metal channel last year that LACUNA COIL fans will have to wait until at least 2019 for the follow-up to 2016’s “Delirium” album.
