LACUNA COIL have announced “Black Anima: Live From The Apocalypse”, an exclusive streaming show featuring a full performance of Black Anima for the very first time, including songs never performed live, plus special backstage/off camera moments and more!
The band, stationed in their hometown of Milan, Italy, since February 2020, is fired up for their first show since the COVID-19 lockdown forced the entire music business, and the world, to stop. “When the world changed, we were in the early stages of touring our new album, BLACK ANIMA. Months have gone by and the desire to get back up on stage and play our music for you has just grown bigger and bigger. While the pandemic won’t allow us to travel to your hometowns, it can’t stop us from coming directly into your homes. Please welcome Black Anima, Live From The Apocalypse…..”
The Italian gothfathers will play a special streaming show on Friday, September 11th (11.9) from the Alcatraz Club in Milan in what will certainly be a unique and once in a lifetime event. After the success of their acclaimed 20th anniversary show “The 119 Show”, the band has once again gone all out to create an outstanding and exclusive spectacle that won’t disappoint fans all over the world. The show will be available to view only once, live, via streaming.
BLACK ANIMA: Live From The Apocalypse will be hosted on A-Live (download available HERE).

Finland’s multi-Platinum cello-rock band APOCALYPTICA– classically-trained cellists Eicca Toppinen, Perttu Kivilaakso and Paavo Lötjönen, and drummer Mikko Sirén – have announced the Spring 2020 North American leg of the “Cell-0 World Tour”. This tour leg will launch on Sunday, May 3 in Orlando, FL, and see the band performing in 20 cities over a three-week period wrapping up on May 26 in Boston, MA. With a set list that will likely vary night to night, Apocalyptica’s performances will be comprised of new songs from Cell-0 as well as the band’s rich catalogue. Lacuna Coil will support on all dates. Ticket pre-sales and access to VIP packages begin today, November 20 at 10AM (local); public on-sale starts Friday, November 22 at 10AM (local). For all pre-sales, VIP packages, and ticketing details visit http://www.apocalyptica.com
In concert, Apocalyptica is known for its moving and bombastic live performances with sparse production but an abundance of head banging. Anyone who might think that there wouldn’t be a deluge of excitement with three cellists should think again…these are symphonic rock stars who know how to shred their bows.
These tour dates are in support of the band’s new album Cell-0, set for a January 10 release (Silver Lining Music). Produced by Apocalyptica, mixed by Andrew Sheps (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Lana Del Rey, Metallica and Black Sabbath), and recorded at Sonic Pump studios in Helsinki, the recording of Cell-0 followed a four-year break between albums that gave the band a fresh perspective and affected the way they approached the new music. Cell-0 is the quartet’s first instrumental album in 17 years and found the musicians challenging themselves to discover new flavors and colors in their respective instruments.
Italian alt metal superstars LACUNA COIL have released an Amazon Original song titled “Bad Things”. The track is only available to stream and purchase on Amazon Music.
Listen to Lacuna Coil’s “Bad Things [Amazon Original]”, only on Amazon Music, here: https://amzn.to/lacunacoil
“The spookiest time of the year is approaching, the magic night when pumpkins glow by moonlight!” says Andrea Ferro of Lacuna Coil. “Halloween is known as the end of summer and the start of winter, a season associated with darkness and frigid weather. We have decided to celebrate the fact that we will be the first Italian artists to create an Amazon Original Track with an appropriately themed song called ‘Bad Things.’ The song has a unique horror vibe perfect for the last day of October, when the boundary between the living and the dead becomes blurred.”
Earlier this month, Lacuna Coil released their ninth studio album Black Anima. Just as Comalies (2002), Shallow Life (2009), and chart-smashing Delirium (2016) upped the ante and rocketed the Milan-based outfit into the upper echelons of metaldom, Black Anima is a level beyond all that. It’s both a hard look at the past and a brave sprint into the future. Two years in the making, Black Anima arrives the same year that Lacuna Coil celebrates their 20th anniversary as a band.
Amazon Music listeners can find Lacuna Coil’s song “Bad Things” on the playlist “Metal Scene”, a collection of loud, supercharged metal music to stir up some mayhem in your world. Customers can also simply ask, “Alexa play the Amazon Original by Lacuna Coil” in the Amazon Music app for iOS and Android and on Alexa-enabled devices. In addition to the new track, Amazon Music listeners can access hundreds of Amazon Originals featuring both emerging and established artists across numerous genres, available to stream and purchase only on Amazon Music.
Italian Alt-Metal superstars LACUNA COIL are premiering their new song “Save Me” today with Billboard. Check out the track HERE. The song is off the band’s forthcoming full-length album Black Anima out October 11th via Century Media.
“Save Me” is the third and final single to be released off of the upcoming LP, following the previously released tracks and music videos for “Reckless” and “Layers Of Time“. Both music videos were directed by Roberto Saku Cinardi and are part of the same storyline.
Black Anima is the follow up to Lacuna Coil’s Delirium (2016), which debuted on the charts in the US at #16 Current Album Chart and #2 Hard Rock Chart, and on many charts in Europe. The album will be available as Ltd. 2CD Book Edition incl. tarot cards, Standard CD Jewelcase, black LP + CD and digital album (+Bonus Tracks). All formats are available for pre-order HERE.
Lacuna Coil is currently on the road with All That Remains for their co-headline U.S. tour. For more information on upcoming tour dates and to purchase tickets, visit the band’s website HERE.

With the release of “Reckless” Italian alt metal superstars LACUNA COIL are presenting the second single of their new album “Black Anima”, out on October 11th, 2019. The official music video to “Reckless” continues the story, which began in the video to previously released single “Layers Of Time” and was again filmed by director Roberto Saku Cinardi.
Watch the official music video to “Reckless” here:
Cristina Scabbia comments: “Reckless” is the second track taken from our new album “Black Anima”. We wanted the concept of the video for this song to be somehow related to the one in “Layers Of Time”: that’s why we filmed both of them in the same location picked by Roberto Saku Cinardi.
We had the band’s performance at the core of the “Layers of Time” video, while in “Reckless” the ideas of freedom and being true to yourself come to life through disturbing horror images to cause a reaction in the audience and actually represent the obscure atmosphere of our new record.
In “Reckless”, Lacuna Coil became part and parcel of the nightmare and fears experienced by the little redheaded girl. As usual, working with Saku in such a stunning location and with great actors that completely committed to the roles, has been absolutely inspiring. It was definitely worth it and I hope you will like this video as much as I do!
Director Roberto Cinardi (aka SaKu) already worked with the band for many videos such as the award winning “Spellbound” (2009), “I Won’t Tell You” (2010), “End of Time” (2012) and the short film with members of the band Dark Passengers (2012).
