Lacuna Coil Dropped a New Single “I Wish You Were Dead” Ahead of ‘Sleepless Empire’ Release
This Friday marks the official release of Lacuna Coil‘s newest album Sleepless Empire and with just a couple sleeps left before its in everyone’s hands, they released another single to get fans excited. Titled “I Wish You Were Dead,” the track is only available to listen to at the moment, though the accompanying music video will be released tomorrow at 3 p.m. EST.
Speaking of the song, the band describe it as a bid to let out a little frustration about that one person you really don’t like while dropping whatever “politically correct” veneer they might have.
“We all have this person we wish never existed, right? We all felt the need to erase the same person from our thoughts, someone who hurt us that it’s still in our mind. We wanted to write heavier lyrics on a happier musical canvas. Also we are a little tired of being politically correct at all costs…
“‘Sleepless Empire’ captures, through our eyes, the chaos of a generation trapped in a digital world that never stops, where social media consumes identity and every day pushes us one step closer to becoming soulless zombies. We find ourselves in between, having witnessed a full analogic world and the modern one, confronting the evolution and searching for a true meaning of it all. Throughout every song, the journey is an undercurrent of rebellion, a desperate cry to reclaim oneself in an era that seems to have lost its sense of time and reality.”
Sleepless Empire will be released this Friday, February 14, but you can still preorder your copy today. You can also catch Lacuna Coil live pretty soon. If that’s something you’re interested in, check out the list of tour dates below.
