Italian heavy rockers LACUNA COIL played in China for the first time ever on May 2 at the Taihu Midi festival. A video recap of the visit, as well as the April 30 performance at the Pulp Summer Slam festival in the Philippines, can be seen below.

LACUNA COIL‘s latest album, “Delirium”, entered The Billboard 200 chart at position No. 33 with first-week sales of just over 13,000 units — nearly all from pure album sales. The set follows the No. 27-peaking “Broken Crown Halo”, which also opened with around 13,000 copies back in 2014.

“Delirium” was released on May 27 through Century Media. The CD was recorded at BRX Studio in Milan between December 2015 and February 2016. The effort was produced by LACUNA COIL bassist and main songwriter Marco “Maki” Coti-Zelati, with engineering by Marco Barusso and additional assistance from Dario Valentini. Coti-Zelati also created the artwork for “Delirium”, which is based on an atmospheric session captured by Italian photographer Alessandro Olgiati.

LACUNA COIL has recruited Diego Cavallotti as a fill-in guitarist for the band following the recent departure of Marco “Maus” Biazzi.

Biazzi left LACUNA COIL in January, explaining in a statement: “I felt I couldn’t add more in this project any longer so I decided to leave my second family, LACUNA COIL, to take a different path for a new challenge in my life.
