LACUNA COIL To Release 'Black Anima' Album In October

Italian metal veterans LACUNA COIL will release their new album, “Black Anima”, on October 11 worldwide through Century Media Records.

Comments singer Cristina Scabbia: “Black Anima is all of us. It’s you and it’s me, it’s everything we hide and fiercely expose to a world that’s halfway asleep. It is the fogged mirror we are peering into searching for the truth. It’s sacrifice and pain, it’s justice and fear, it’s fury and revenge, it’s past and future… Human beings in the magnificence of a disturbing ambiguity. The black core that balances it all… as without darkness light would never exist. We proudly present to you our new work and can’t wait to welcome you in our embrace. We are the Anima.”

This past March, Scabbia said that LACUNA COIL‘s next album would be “heavy and dark.” Her comments echoed those she made two years earlier when she said that LACUNA COIL‘s next disc could see the band pursuing a more aggressive musical direction, just as was the case with 2016’s “Delirium”. “I believe that it could definitely be even way heavier, because that’s what we like to perform on stage,” she told Metal Wani. “Of course, we like the ballads and the mellow songs, but we like better to perform songs that are heavier. And we love that music.”

2018 marked the 20th anniversary of LACUNA COIL‘s debut. To celebrate the occasion, they played an exceptional show in January 2018 in London at the O2 Forum Kentish Town. The unique, one-time event was filmed and recorded for “The 119 Show – Live In London”, which was released last November.

LACUNA COIL will make a number of festival appearances in summer and will embark on an extended European tour in the fall with ELUVEITIE and INFECTED RAIN.
