Hot off chart-smashing full-length Delirium and ground-breaking, widely-applauded The 119 Show, Italy-based gothfathers Lacuna Coil return with stunning new full-length Black Anima.Both a paradigm shift and a respectful look back to the early days, Black Anima spreads its wings and flies high above the rest of the pack. Lacuna Coils ninth full-length is epic, atmospheric, groovy, heavy yet forward-thinking.Vocalist Cristina Scabbia is transcendent throughout. Her vocal partner Andrea Ferro has viciously transformed into a beast, while the rest of Lacuna Coilincluding new drummer Richard Meizgive the performance of their lifetimes. Just as Comalies, Shallow Life, and Delirium were pivotal moments for the Italians and their global network of fans, Black Anima takes Lacuna Coils greatness to the next-level! Says Ferro: Like Delirium, we wanted to be freer. If the music called for a heavier arrangementlike double bass drums, deeper growls, or having Cristina go epicthen we went for it. We didnt really think about songs that would be for the radio or songs that would be singles. We had to stir things up a little bit.
