lacuna coil

Last week, it was revealed that Lacuna Coil had backed out of the 2014 ShipRocked Cruise. The band cited "very serious personal family matters" as the reason for pulling out, and in a new open letter posted today (Dec. 31) from vocalist Cristina Scabbia, we may have a better understanding as to why Lacuna Coil decided to skip the rock cruise.

Former Nightwish vocalist Anette Olzon just dropped a huge bombshell about her exit from the Finnish symphonic metal act. In a new interview, Olzon claims she was unceremoniously fired from the band and likens her departure from Nightwish to that of original vocalist Tarja Turunen.

Lacuna Coil are breaking from the studio to play some late year shows, but they earlier in the year they dropped by the Loudwire studio to talk about their music. During the course of the conversation, the band's co-vocalists Cristina Scabbia and Andrea Ferro opened up about their vocal influences and you can find out which artists had an impact on their individual styles by checking out the video

Lacuna Coil have just announced that they have begun work on their seventh studio album. The upcoming record will act as the follow-up to Lacuna Coil's 2012 full-length, 'Dark Adrenaline.'

The lineup for the 2014 class of ShipRocked was already enticing enough with bands like Five Finger Death Punch and Papa Roach leading the charge but now the floating rock fest just got a little noisier.

Sevendust are teaming up with the reunited Coal Chamber for a 2013 U.S. tour. The two bands will be supported directly by Lacuna Coil, with Candlelight Red and Stolen Babies splitting opening duties.

Lacuna Coil have enjoyed a solid year touring behind their 'Dark Adrenaline' album and it looks as though 2013 will start off on a high note, as well. The band has just announced a February run with Sevendust that will keep them in the U.S. for the entire month.

Lacuna Coil are making sure their faithful followers are able to keep up with the latest news from the band by launching their own social network-fan community. The group teamed with Mobile Backstage to create the application, which will allow fans easier access to all kinds of Lacuna Coil information.

It's not exactly common in rock to see a band with two vocalists, but Lacuna Coil have made it work over the years, with a both the female (Cristina Scabbia) and male (Andrea Ferro) perspectives getting a shared amount of time. Still, questions come up from time to time about if Scabbia might consider a solo record.

Congrats are in order for Lacuna Coil co-vocalist Andrea Ferro, who got married over the weekend to his longtime love, Paola Penny Gigliotti.

When one thinks of the talented and beautiful songstress Cristina Scabbia of Lacuna Coil, “geeky” might not be the first word that comes to mind. However, the Italian vocalist begs to differ.

It's official: Two iconoclastic bands of hard rock and metal are touring together and will be coming to the Capital Region as part of Gigantour.  Megedeth, Motorhead, with special guests Volbeat and Lacuna Coil will be at the Glens Falls Civic Center on February 1st.
