In a recent conversation with Brazil's Sonoridades Inc., Lacuna Coil frontwoman Cristina Scabbia provided an exciting update on their next album, which will follow.
On the follow-up to 2019's Black Anima, Scabbia shared: "I can't really tell you a lot. I can tell you that we are progressing very fast. We are almost, like, 100… We completed, let's say, the demoing. We still have to record the rest of the songs, but we will soon — probably after the tour, after the May 2024 North American tour. And if everything goes as projected, before the end of the year it will be released. And that's already a big news, because we always say, 'We don't know. Maybe.' … I absolutely love the songs. I'm part of the process. But I'm very pleased."
When asked about the inclusion of the 2023 single "Never Dawn", a collaboration with the renowned board game publisher CMON for their game Zombicide, Scabbia hinted at its likely presence on the new album: "I think it will be. I think it will be, 'cause it will make sense. And it also fits with the other songs — it really fits with the other songs. Many heavy songs."
Lacuna Coil recently wrapped up the "Ignite The Fire" U.S. tour, which featured support from New Years Day and Oceans of Slumber. Additionally, they released a new single last month titled "In The Mean Time", featuring Ash Costello of New Years Day.
