The Alternative-Metal band Lacuna Coil began life in the mid-'90s in
Milan, ITALY, originally comprised of vocalists Cristina Scabbia and Andrea
Ferro, guitarist Cristiano Migliore, bassist + keyboardist Marco Coti
Zelati and drummer Cristiano Mozzati.
The group's self-titled debut six-track EP appeared in 1998. Their first
full-length album, "In A Reverie", followed a year later and
eventually the band decided to enlist the help of guitarist Marco Biazzi;
spending the better part of 1999 on the road, the band criss-crossed Europe
and created quite a buzz in the Goth-Metal scene.
In October of 2000 Lacuna Coil entered the Woodhouse Studio in Germany
for the third time to cut their second LP, "Unleashed Memories",
which was released in January 2001; the band embarked on an extensive
international tour, traveling stateside for their first U.S. dates in
support of the album.
One and half year later the sextet delivered "Comalies", their
first overseas success; relentless touring across United States would
follow, supporting such acts as Anthrax
and Type O Negative as well as
garnishing a 2004 Ozzfest slot. "Comalies" eventually rose to
#9 on the Billboard's Top Independent Albums chart and hit #174 on The
Billboard 200 Sales list highlighted by the active-Rock radio single "Swamped".
In April 2006, Lacuna Coil released its fourth album, "Karmacode",
the band's most successful effort to date; the 13-song set shot to #1
on the U.S. Top Independent Albums chart and peaked at #28 on The Billboard
200. The first single, "Our Truth", quickly bulleted into the
top 40 of The Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks and also hit the U.K. Top 40
chart. The CD included three more European mid-sized hits including their
rendition of Depeche Mode's "Enjoy
The Silence", "Closer" and "Within Me".
The Italian goth-metallers are set to make their return to the forefront
of the Metal world with the upcoming release of "Shallow Life",
scheduled for April 20 in Europe and April 21 in North America; the new
album features the captivating first single "Spellbound".
