LACUNA COIL Announce Release Date For New Full-Length Album Shallow Life
Italy’s greatest musical export, LACUNA COIL, have returned with the
massively anticipated, new full-length release, Shallow Life, which is
set for an April 21st North American release. The album was recorded
with acclaimed producer Don Gilmore (Avril Lavigne, Linkin Park, Pearl
Jam) at the famed NRG Studios in Los Angeles. This new effort is another
huge step forward in the band’s continuous evolution and marks their
first full-length since 2006’s Karmacode and promises to be well worth
the wait. It has been years since an artist came along that could
redefine a genre, but this group has the potential to do just that. This
is the next big thing.
Fans can now rejoice as LACUNA COIL are looking to debut some new
material on this spring’s “Music As A Weapon IV” festival. LACUNA COIL
joins such hard rock titans as Disturbed and Killswitch Engage on the
road beginning March 20th, crisscrossing the U.S. before finishing May
16th. The 38-city “Music As A Weapon IV” fest marks the group’s first
run of North America in almost two years. Feel free to visit

for all news updates and to view the tour’s itinerary.
Cristina Scabbia (vocals) states: “Shallow Life is a natural
metamorphosis from within the band; we explored different musical
territories while maintaining our own style. A mix of old and new, fast
and slow and light and dark. The album production is incredibly powerful
and has a beautiful purity to it. Hopefully listeners will feel the same
sort of connection that we have to these songs. It would be great to
think that we have produced songs that will make anybody either think,
smile or cry. Shallow Life has forced us to challenge ourselves. It
represents the way we see ourselves in the days we live in through
truth, love and lies.”
Andrea Ferro (male vocals) adds: “We are thrilled to be involved in what
will surely be an amazing tour, a great event of rock n’ roll culture!
We’re really happy to get back on the road in the U.S. after a long
time. The new songs in the rehearsal room sound awesome and we’re
looking forward to play some for you. We hope to see you all soon.”
There is no better indication that greatness can be achieved through a
resilient work ethic than with LACUNA COIL, whose aggressive touring and
extensive critical praise have now poised them for mainstream
domination. The group initially left their mark on the hard rock scene
in 2004 with their acclaimed album, Comalies, which opened several
opportunities for them that were previously thought unattainable for an
Italian band, such as two highly successful commercial radio campaigns
alongside a breakthrough Ozzfest appearance resulting in over 500,000
copies sold worldwide with over a quarter of a million in the U.S.
alone.
