Official press release:
Italian Gothic Metal icons Lacuna Coil are excited to announce their new album Black Anima out on October 11th, 2019, worldwide via Century Media Records. Lacuna Coil frontwoman, Cristina Scabbia, states about the forthcoming release:
“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, its justice and fear, its 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.”
Lacuna Coil also announces their exclusive in-store Looney Tunes event on July 25th at 6:30 PM in Long Island, NY. The event will include an exclusive meet and greet and signing with Cristina Scabbia and Andrea Ferro, exclusive merch designs, and exclusive posters. Additionally, fans will be able to pre-order Black Anima and the re-issues of Comalies and In A Reverie in store. Scabbia
“We’re excited to come out and meet you all at the historical, one and only Looney Tunes record store. Andrea and I are bringing with us a couple of new songs hot off the mixing desk – can’t wait to let you hear them! See you soon!”
The pre-orders for the re-issues of Comalies and In A Reverie are also available, starting today, and will be released on August 30th.
Lacuna Coil will be performing The 119 Show presented by Revolver for two sold out nights (July 22nd and July 23rd) in New York City at Gramercy Theatre. The band previously performed, recorded and released the DVD for The 119 Show – Live In London, to celebrate the band’s 20th anniversary. Purchase the DVD HERE. In addition to The 119 Show, the band will be playing a few festival shows this summer and will be on an extended European tour with Swiss Folk Metal band Eluveitie and their friends in Infected Rain.
