Segue Myles Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 I stumbled on this band through one of those label sampler cd's for new groups. The track on the sampler was my wings. It hooked me instantly and i bought in a reverie right away. I ADORE IN A REVERIE! MY WINGS!!!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 I like the album title. I go into a state of delirium every time I see pictures of Cristina. So the name seems appropriate. In all honesty, my favourite Lacuna Coil album title ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 From Loudwire:You can add Lacuna Coil to the list of bands releasing albums in 2016. The band teased their forthcoming disc with a new Facebook posting, simply stating, “Lacuna Coil Delirium 2016.”In an upcoming chat with Loudwire Nights host Toni Gonzalez, vocalist Cristina Scabbia states, “We entered the studio about a week ago, so we’re at the very beginning … We’re absolutely excited and I think everything will be completed before the end of February, I think. And the album should be out at the end of May. It’s called Delirium and there’s tons of reasons for it. It’s been a crazy couple of years for different reasons, for personal reasons and for a lot of things that we will disclose, or we will tell later.”She adds, “It’s heavier than the previous albums we did, which is kind of surprising because a lot of bands are going the other way around and getting softer and more accessible.”The band has been in the studio over the past month working up to recording, posting a wealth of photos from their jam sessions for their eighth studio album. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 "It’s heavier than the previous albums we did" :drool: Looking forward to it. And with one less guitar player now, it seems we can expect more electronics elements! I have been dying for this to happen again ever since the HalfLife EP back in 2000! I adore that. Unleashed Memories softened the keyboards a little. Excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickSame...which is why I am still amazed you don't like Unleashed Memories! I hope for more inventiveness. Broken Crown Halo had lots of interesting new ideas going on (Cybersleep, the ending of In The End I Feel Alive, the more metal moments of Zombies and NSIOW, the amazing vocals on Victims...oooooh...VICTIMS!!). But I have to say, for the first time as an LC fan ever, I have no idea what I want from them. They have given me so much, anything more is just...a bonus. If its great, WOOP WOOP! As much as I love Broken Crown Halo, I still feel, melodically, it feels a little strained and forced. Maybe the shake up in the line up will spark more creativity! Unusual for me, as much as I love Karmacode, I never want this band to replicate my favourite albums or eras. The next fan to go "I hope the next one sounds like Comalies" will get a table forced down their throat.

Broken Crown Halo is a 9/10 for me. Of the last ten years, it ranks in my top ten. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 As Segue knows, I was not the biggest fan of the musical direction they went on Karmacode. Dark Adrenaline and Broken Crown Halo both seemed like the natural progression they should have made after Comalies. Especially, BCH. I had just about given up on them but my friend kept telling me to listen to BCH. I loved it on my first listen. My reaction after I heard the chorus to Zombies was "where the hell has this been? Welcome back Lacuna Coil!" BCH also has what is probably my favorite vocal performance from Cristina with Hostage To The Light. Actually, her and Andi's vocals have never sounded better than they do on that album. It's been a good ten years since i've been into the band as much as i've been over the last year and a half. So, I am really looking forward to their new album. The last time I said that was before Karmacode was released and that ended up disappointing me. Hopefully the same thing doesn't happen this time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember being surprised by Karmacode, but to this day it's always been the most delightful, and meaningful album to me of all time. Simple as that! But the curve ball that was Shallow Life really, really took me a while to get used too. It wasn't so much the songs, it was more THAT choice of producer. It still reminds me of Linkin Park, and a band as unique and special as Lacuna Coil did not need to go down that path. But then again, I love it a lot, and although it has Underdog and The Pain (my two least favourite songs in their entire history), the B-Sides made up for it, and I adore it! Not Enough, I'm Not Afraid, I Won't Tell You, Leaving Alone, Last Goodbye, Oblivion, I Like It...Lacuna Coil wouldn't be the same to me without this odd delight! I can easily pick a favourite LC album, but after that, any single LC album could take second place. And the EP's are incredibly special! One of very, very few bands where I love everything they have done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like it buuuutttt...the worst? Yeaaaaaah... But glad you got into Black Clouds! I find when new styles click, it broadens my tastes elsewhere. Because of The Beatles, I tried other classic rock acts, which led me to try Rush, Springsteen, Fleetwood Mac...etc. I liked ONE classic rock band, and it pulled me out of a rutt of nothing but metal, punk, metal, hardcore, metal and...meh-tal.
