History
editFormation and debut EP (1994–1998)
editVocalistAndrea Ferroand bassist/composer Marco Coti Zelati formedSleep of Rightin Milan, Italy, 1994,[citation needed]and recruited Raffaele Zagaria on guitars, and Michaelangelo Algardi on the drums. After recording a song titled "Bleeding Souls" for theNoise of Bolgiacompilation in 1995, Claudio Leo became the band's second guitarist, and Leonardo Forti replaced Michaelangelo on the drums after his departure. The band askedCristina Scabbia,a friend and girlfriend of Marco at the time, to sing background vocals briefly, which led to her officially joining the band. Soon after, the band changed their name toEthereal,and signed toCentury Mediaat the end of 1997. Finding that the name Ethereal was already taken by a Greek band, they changed their name to Lacuna Coil (meaning "empty spiral", which reflected the band's vision on life).[3]
Lacuna Coil released a self-titledEPthrough Century Media in 1998, shortly after Raffaele Zagaria, Claudio Leo, and Leonardo Forti departed. As a result, guitarist Cristiano Migliore and drummer Cristiano Mozzati were recruited officially. At this point, the band was touring withMoonspellafter the release of theLacuna Coil EP.
In a Reverie(1998–2000)
editFollowing a second European tour, the band recorded their debut full-length albumIn a Reverieand added second guitarist Marco Biazzi. The band supported the album with another European tour, co-headlining withSkyclad.Allmusicrated the album 4 stars, saying it was "a fine debut by a band that bears watching." The band toured mostly around Europe, generally as a support act.
HalflifeEP andUnleashed Memories(2000–2002)
editFollowing their debut,In a Reverie,the EPHalf-Lifewas released in 2000 with five songs: "Half Life", "Hyperfast", "Stars" (a cover of aDubstarsingle), "Trance Awake" and a demo version of "Senzafine". The final version of the latter was included in the 2001 albumUnleashed Memories.While the studio album contained 10 songs, later re-releases included theHalflifeEP. That same year, the band toured the United States for the first time, supportingMoonspell.[4][5]
Comalies(2002–2005)
editThe band's breakthrough albumComalieswas released in 2002.[6]A significant player on Europe's metal scene for nearly a decade at this point, the band was virtually unknown in the United States.[7]The TV seriesUraniumgave the band some of its earliest US exposure; over a year later, the first single fromComalies,"Heaven's a Lie",began to receive radio and media attention, pulling the band into North America's musical mainstream. They kicked off their first headlining U.S. tour in 2003, supported byDog Fashion Disco.[8][9]Networks such as Fuse played the song's video, for example. In early 2005, "Heaven's a Lie" won in The 4th Annual Independent Music Awards for Best Hard Rock/Metal Song.[10]The beginning of this song was also used as the introduction music for the audio podcast novelThe RookiebyScott Sigler.The second single, "Swamped",was played in heavy rotation and used in the video gameVampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines.It also appeared on the soundtrack for the movieResident Evil: Apocalypse.Videos were filmed for both songs and broadcast onMTV2'sHeadbangers Ball,which also saw the band perform an acoustic rendition of "Heaven's a Lie" live.
By 2004,Comalieshad become the best-selling CD inCentury Media's history. The band appeared atOzzfestin between headlining club tours in the United States and Europe. A bonus, extended version ofComalieswas released both in stores and on iTunes. This version consisted of both live and acoustic versions of the songs "Heaven's A Lie", "Swamped", "Unspoken", "Aeon" and "Senzafine" fromUnleashed Memories.
Karmacode(2005–2008)
editThe band and label postponed the release of their follow-up toComalies,Karmacode,to early 2006. According to the band's website, this made it possible for more time to be spent on production and to avoid the crowded summer 2005 release schedule for metal albums. On 23 December 2005 the band announced on their web site that all recording, mixing, and mastering onKarmacodehad been completed. It was then announced thatKarmacodewould be released in the United States on 4 April 2006.[citation needed]
During their 2005 European Tour, Lacuna Coil debuted two new songs from Karmacode at selected concerts: "Our Truth" and "Fragile" under the working titles "Antonio" and "A2" respectively.[11]
Karmacodedebuted at number 28 on theBillboard200.Considered byBillboardto be "the biggest album in the history of Century Media Records",[12]it was acclaimed by music critics and magazines.[13][14][15][16]Corresponding with the release of the new album, Lacuna Coil toured withRob Zombiethroughout North America in early 2006. After their tour with Zombie, they performed main stage atOzzfest2006 along withSystem of a Down,Ozzy Osbourne,andHatebreed,becoming the first female-fronted band to co-headline the heavy-metal festival. That summer they also played on the main stage of theDownload Festival(a three-day music festival in England'sDonington Park), which was headlined byMetallica,Tool,andGuns N' Roses.That December, Lacuna Coil teamed up with In Flames, The Sword and Seemless for a US tour, as well as The Blackest of the Black 2006 Tour.[citation needed]
Four singles were officially released fromKarmacode:"Our Truth","Closer","Within Me"and a cover ofDepeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence"."Our Truth"was the first single released and had a music video produced for it. The song was featured on theUnderworld: Evolutionsoundtrack and entered the top forty on theBillboardMainstream Rockchart in the United States.[12][17]
The band toured extensively to support the album throughout 2007. This included theJägermeister Music Tour,The Hottest Chicks in Metal Tour 2007,Loudpark Festival'07 inSaitama City'sSaitama Super Arena,and the Australian leg ofMegadeth'sGigantour.
Lacuna Coil's first live DVD was released in November 2008, entitledVisual Karma (Body, Mind and Soul).The CD/DVD package is a retrospective of all things from the band'sKarmacodealbum cycle. The set list features concerts filmed at Germany'sWacken Festivaland at the JapaneseLoudpark Festivalin 2007.[18]
Shallow Life(2008–2010)
editIn 2008, it was announced that Lacuna Coil's fifth studio album would be produced by Don Gilmore and would include someArabicinfluences.Cristina Scabbiaexplained in the magazineRock Sound:"It's different, but it's our style. We haven't done anything absolutely different from our style, because that wouldn't be natural, that would be weird - it wouldn't be us. The songs are definitely more powerful, more complete, more intense, more straight-to-the-point."Andrea Ferrosaid: "We've put more attention on the real meaning of the songs, so the vocals are a bit more prominent. We've worked a lot with Don Gilmore on the pronunciation of the words in English, so people really understand the meanings of the words. There are strong choruses, where people can relate and really understand what we mean."[19]
On 13 December 2008, it was revealed that the new album would be titledShallow Life.[20]The album was released in Europe on 20 April 2009 and in the United States on 21 April 2009.

Costelloexpressed gratitude, stating, "I am deeply honored to join Lacuna Coil on tour for the first time, to have the incredible opportunity to lend my guest vocals to a new track and appear in the music video. Working alongside the powerhouse vocalistCristinahas been a privilege, and I may be biased in saying that 'In the Mean Time' has quickly become my favorite by Lacuna Coil. Its message about embracing individuality and not conforming deeply resonates with me. "[45]

Musical style
editLacuna Coil's music has been described as being "heavy, melodic, and relentlessly melodramatic".[49]Inspired by the combination ofgothicimagery and music, the members have been known, musically, for composing mid-tempo songs consisting of prominent guitar lines and contrasting dual female/male vocal harmonies to help create a melodic, detached sound. Much of the band's recent material, however, sees a heavier and more down-tuned style, featuring a more distinct bass line and a higher mixing of the guitars within the songs.[50][51]
Lacuna Coil's music is mainly regarded asgothic metal[52][53]andalternative metal.[54]AllMusic'sSteve Huey said that "Lacuna Coil aren't always the doomiest of progressive goth metal bands; in fact, they sometimes sound like a heavier version ofHeart".[55]AllMusicsaid that the band "distinguished themselves with orchestral arrangements and dual vocalists."[56]According toVH1,"Goth-spooked Italian maestros Lacuna Coil boasts the most distinctive and dynamic male-female vocal duo in contemporary hard-and-heavy music making: Andrea Ferro and Cristina Scabbia, respectively".[54]AllMusic'sMike DaRonco said, "With Ferro's tortured screams and Scabbia's ethereal range, the group attracted a devoted following that soon spread outside of Italy and throughout Europe before they broke into the U.S. market".[56]AllMusic'sAndy Hinds wrote, "Rarely succumbing to heavy-handedness, Lacuna Coil escapes the stylistic straitjacket of the goth/metal formula, making them more accessible than many of their peers."[57]
Comaliesmarked the beginning of a shift in the band's sound, as their "early repurposing of gothic metal evolved into something bigger, heavier and more accessible, it turned them into major players".[58]According toBlabbermouth,"the band's mastery of a certain strain of highly melodic but intermittently brutal gothic metal [onComalies] enabled them to streak ahead of their peers "[59]The band subsequently shifted to an alternative metal sound.[59]Karmacodesaw the band move away from their distinctive sound in favor of anu metalsound.Sputnikmusicstaff writer Trey wrote that the album "presented a band struggling to move beyond minor league success even if it meant losing their own individuality".[60]The band's follow-up,Shallow Life,was described byAllMusicas a "deliberately commercial effort with strongpop-metalinfluences ".[56]Following the band's more experimental recordings,Dark Adrenalinesaw the band combine "elements of the traditional Lacuna Coil sound [with] the more modern elements of later years".[61]Loudwiresays that some of the band's albums have displayed ahard rocksound.[62]
