Lacuna Coil News
November 13th, 2007Lacuna Coil are an gothic metal band from Milan, Italy.
They were formerly known as Sleep of Right and Ethereal. The band was heavily inspired by gothic imagery, and the members have been known, musically, for composing midtempo songs consisting of guitar lines overlayed with prominent keyboard work, and contrasting dual female/male vocal harmonies to help create a melodic detached sound. Much of their more 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. They have played among the world’s biggest heavy metal festivals on the main stage including Ozzfest, Bloodstock Open Air, Wacken Open Air, etc. and are scheduled to play Japan’s Loudpark Festival this October.
