Lacuna Coil - neue Single/Video “I Wish You Were Dead”
Nur drei Tage vor der Veröffentlichung ihres neuen Studioalbums „Sleepless Empire“, präsentieren die italienischen Metal-Titanen Lacuna Coil die letzte Single „I Wish You Were Dead“!
Hört euch „I Wish You Were Dead“ hier an: https://lacunacoil.lnk.to/IWYWD-Single
„I Wish You Were Dead“ handelt von den emotionalen Turbulenzen und Kämpfen, die mit toxischen Beziehungen einhergehen. Das Video zum Song, das am Donnerstagabend um 21 Uhr Premiere hat, nimmt das schwere Thema des Songs auf und verwandelt es in eine romantische Gothic-Geschichte, gerade rechtzeitig zum Valentinstag. Das Video wurde von Martina L. Mclean in einer Kirche in Capranica, einer kleinen Stadt nördlich von Rom, gedreht und stellt eine Premiere in der Geschichte von Lacuna Coil dar: die Band führt eine Choreographie auf!
Merkt euch den Termin vor: „I Wish You Were Dead“ Videopremiere am Donnerstag, 13. Februar, 21 Uhr CET hier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H86cL4NBZRg
The band shares about the new single and the album release:
“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” marks the 10th studio album of Lacuna Coil and is set to be released this Friday, February 14th, 2025, via Century Media Records. It is the first long player release after their remake album Comalies XX, which came out 2022. The new album comprises 11 new tracks; and each one is a richly textured soundtrack to a specific time and a place. With Sleepless Empire, that place is dark, cinematic, and unmistakably true to the unique characteristics that have given Lacuna Coil such a celebrated entry in the annals of heavy music.
