While it's been over three years since we've heard new music from Lacuna Coil, that's all going to change soon. The band confirmed they will be releasing the follow-up to 2016's Delirium on October 11th via Century Media Records.
The album is titled Black Anima and while we don't know what the album cover looks like, the band did release some art:
Frontwoman Cristina Scabbia explains the meaning of the album title:
“Black Anima is all of us.
“It’s you and it’s me, it’s everything we hide and fiercely expose to a world that’s halfway asleep.
“It is the fogged mirror we are peering into searching for the truth.
“It’s sacrifice and pain, it’s justice and fear, it’s fury and revenge, it’s past and future….
“Human beings in the magnificence of a disturbing ambiguity.
“The black core that balances it all… as without darkness light would never exist.
“We proudly present to you our new work and can’t wait to welcome you in our embrace.
“We are the Anima.”
Seeing as though they are all done with recording the album, Lacuna Coil is spending the rest of the year on the road, mostly in Europe but there are a few Stateside shows announced. Here are their upcoming tour dates:
