Italian atmospheric rock band Lacuna Coil are on a mission for world domination. Hoping to successfully establish themselves at the height of their field, news has already spread across the continents gaining them lots of press and exposure.

The double acting vocals throw in an interesting blend into a powerhouse sound. Onstage head banging and waiting for each other’s turn to contribute, they look tight and can well deliver an excitingly dramatic show.

New songs like Fragile and Fragments Of Faith, and some of their older hits, including their hit with ‘Swamped,’ are enough to work the crowd alone. Talking to the crowd and generally giving off the impression that they’re also having a great time adds to their performance.

Finishing off on a cover of Depeche Mode’s ‘Enjoy The Silence,’ a song that indeed works well for them. Lacuna Coil have risen to expectations!
