Milan, Italy (1994 – present)

Lacuna Coil, formerly known as Sleep of Right and Ethereal, is a rock band formed in Milan, Italy in 1994. The band consists of Cristina Scabbia (vocals), Andrea Ferro (vocals and keyboards), Cristiano Migliore (guitars), Marco Biazzi (guitars), Marco Coti Zelati (bass and keyboards), and Cristiano Mozzati (drums and percussion).

In 1994 Andrea Ferro and Marco Coti Zelati formed Sleep of Right, but soon changed their name to Ethereal, and signed to Century Media at the end of 1997. Finding that the name Ethereal was already taken by a Greek band, they changed their name to Lacuna Coil, which is half Italian, half English and translates to “empty spiral”.

The members of the band have been known, musically, for composing midtempo songs consisting of guitar lines overlaid with prominent keyboard work, and contrasting dual female/male vocal harmonies to help create a melodic detached sound.

Much of the band’s recent material, however, sees a more down-tuned style, featuring a more distinct bass line and a higher mixing of the guitars within the songs. According to the band, they are and have been influenced by Paradise Lost, Tiamat, Anathema, Septic Flesh, Black Sabbath, Type O Negative, Imago Mortis, Depeche Mode, In Flames, and Amorphis amongst others. The band’s 2006 release, “Karmacode”, peaked at number 28 on the Billboard 200. They have played among the world’s biggest heavy metal festivals on the main stage including Ozzfest, Bloodstock Open Air, Wacken Open Air, and played with Megadeth on their Gigantour tour in November 2007.

They're not dead. Shallow Life isn't as good as Comalies or Karmacode but it does not suck by any means. It's a natural progression; if they go a little mainstream, so what? Goddamn, I wish people would shut up already about saying that LC is now a lost cause, because they are NOT. Seriously, your whining is giving me a killer headache. (I will however laugh at the first person to call me out based on my musical taste) ...annoyance aside, I look forward to the next brilliant album in a few years.

Wow, all of the frontwoman on the similar artists are hot! Sorry, I just had to point that out. LOL, I love the Karmacode album. 'Within Me' is the best song.

"...I am spellbound!" totally by this band ^^ I hadn't expected to hear such good songs. I can see that most of people aren't satisfied with the last album. Hard to say if you're right, I have already listened to two of them, including that new one... hope you're wrong! xD

"They have softened quite a bit, let's hope we don't lose them :(" -- I listened to the last album. Trust me. We've lost them.
