Lacuna Coil

樂隊在意大利的Milan成立，在典型的金屬旋律里，主唱們的音色產(chǎn)生了一種微妙而奇特的變化，創(chuàng)造了男女聲色之間的完美和諧。1996年在樂隊還沒有用Lacuna Coil作為樂隊名，而是叫做Ethereal的時候，他們將創(chuàng)作的兩首demo小樣寄給了一些歐洲的唱片公司，最終樂隊選擇與 Century Media簽約合作，并更名為Lacuna Coil。 　　在Century Media的支持下，Lacuna Coil開始創(chuàng)作發(fā)展自己的音樂，1997年，在Hagen的Woodhouse，樂隊開始錄制歌曲，當時的制作人是Waldemar Sorychta，Andreas Ferro和Cristina Scabbia分別是男女主唱并且共同擔任詞曲的創(chuàng)作工作，還有吉他手Raffaele Zagaria和Claudio Leo；貝司手Marco Zelati和鼓手 Leonardo Forti。但是樂隊很快有了變動，在支持Moonspell的巡回演出中，吉他手和鼓手離開了樂隊，幸虧這時鼓手Markus（來自 Kreator）和吉他手Anders（來自Tiamat）暫時填補了樂隊的空缺，演出才得以完成。下一年的一月，樂隊終于找到了新的樂隊成員，吉他手 Cristiano Migliore（前Thy Nature）和鼓手Cristiano Mozzati（前Time Machine）加入了樂隊， Lacuna Coil就此開始演繹他們新的歷史。
Lacuna Coil is an Italian gothic metal band formed in 1994.[4][5] Formerly known as Sleep of Right and Ethereal, the band was inspired by the combination of gothic imagery and music, and the members have been known, musically, for composing midtempo songs consisting of guitar lines overlaid with prominent keyboard work, and contrasting dual female/male vocal harmonies to help create a melodic detached sound, heavily emphasized on their 2002 breakthrough album Comalies. Much of the band's recent material, however, sees a heavier and more down-tuned style, featuring a more distinct bass line and a higher mixing of the guitars within the songs.
The band's 2006 release, Karmacode peaked at number 28 on the Billboard 200. They have played among the world's biggest heavy metal festivals on the main stage including Ozzfest, Bloodstock Open Air, Wacken Open Air, and played with Megadeth on their Gigantour tour in November 2007.
