Lacuna Coil Announce New Album Black Anima
It’s been more than three years since the release of Lacuna Coil’s most recent — and arguably best — album, 2016’s Delirium. But at last, the group has announced a new offering: they’ll release Black Anima on October 11 via Century Media. Urrà! (Did I use that correctly?)
So what’s the title mean? Basically, it’s a cooler-sounding way of saying “black soul” or “black subconscious.” Or, as Cristina Scabbia puts it:
“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.”
Right. Isn’t that what I said? I think that’s basically what I said.
ANYWAY, that’s all we got for now. But it’s probably safe to expect a single soonish.
In the meantime, Lacuna Coil have a whole lotta live dates lined up for the remainder in the year, both in the U.S. and Europe. You can grab those below.
