Releasing on Valentines Day "Sleepless Empire" by Lacuna Coil is about to hit you with 11 powerful tracks.
A blend of gothic atmosphere with heavy metal riffs and emotional intensity. This album refines once more their sound into something more accessible yet deeply melancholic, solidifying their place as one of the most influential bands in gothic and alternative metal.
From the very first notes of "The Seige" Lacuna Coil immerses the listener in a world of somber melodies, dark guitar harmonies, with both Cristina Scabbia's and Andrea Ferro's distinct haunting vocals.
The production is crisp and layered, capturing both the weight of the riffs and the gothic elegance of the melodies.
Personal highlights are "Scarecrow" with clean guitars and a soaring chorus that sets the tone perfectly.
"I Wish You Were Dead" One of the album’s most accessible tracks, featuring a huge, infectious chorus and "In Nomine Patris" A more aggressive track that still maintains the album’s melancholic atmosphere.
Overall this album bridges the gap between gothic, and alternative metal, appealing to old and new fans exploring gothic or melancholic heavy metal. It’s a perfect mix of sorrow and power, beauty and darkness.
Lacuna Coil just announced they are bringing this amazing album on tour through Europe and UK starting from October till the start of December. You definitely don't want to miss this out.
