Italian Metal icons LACUNA COIL are excited to announce the release of their new album “Black Anima” on October 11th, 2019, worldwide through Century Media Records.

“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, it’s justice and fear, it’s 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.” – Cristina Scabbia, LACUNA COIL.

“Black Anima” is the follow up to LACUNA COIL’s “Delirium” (2016), which entered the charts in the US (#16 Current Album Chart, #2 Hard Rock Chart) and all over Europe and “THE 119 SHOW – LIVE IN LONDON”, which was released in late 2018 to celebrate the band’s 20th anniversary.

Stay tuned for more news, soon!

LACUNA COIL will be playing some more festival show in summer and will be on extended European tour together with Swiss Folk Metal band Eluveitie and their friends in Infected Rain.

ESKIMO CALLBOY release new single and video for “Supernova (RAGE 2 Edition)”


The video, which was produced by the Schillo Brothers, is a real visual treat that will also give you some insights into the upcoming insanely wild open-world shooter “RAGE 2”.

The band comments on the song and video: “’Supernova’ – our most ambitious song project ever and one of our favourite songs of our new album. Once you sing along with it, it will follow you anywhere. We totally enjoyed making use of the super organic sounds during songwriting. And shooting the video was a perfect collaboration of many experienced people that all shared one vision. From the first notes on paper to the finished song including a video in cooperation with RAGE 2 it turned out to be exactly how we had it in our minds.

Music will never be boring if you’re brave enough to break new grounds. We totally love the combination of super organic brass sounds and heavy guitar riffings. Once you listen to it, it won’t let go of you anymore. The whole project including the elaborate video was a wonderful team play of many creative minds and we couldn’t be happier with the final result.”

Finland’s foremost melodic deathsters INSOMNIUM have begun recording their 8thstudio album, as drums are being nailed at SF Studio with engineer Kimmo Perkkiö. Afterwards the work shall continue at Teemu Aalto Music Productions in Kotka. Jens Bogren will do the mix at Fascination Street Studios in Sweden.

“Again when the days grew darker and the nights became colder, our path led into the dark. We checked-in to our traditional forest cabin-hq in the southern Finland for a new material rehearsal camp and (un)reality-check. We came out with 10’ish songs full of that good ol’ Finnish melancholy, sorrow & misery and now it’s time to wrap it all on tape for you peeps to hear ’em. Cannot wait to start the studio process and let the creative processes go up-and-down again!” comments guitarist Markus Vanhala.
