Lacuna Coil is a Italian Band began as Gothic Metal, Gothic Rock/Metal band losing their genre and adapting it to Alternative Rock/Metal with their last album "Shallow Life", turning to more commercial side with their sound but fortunately without losing the melancholy and some melodies. [Personaly i hope just be an experimentation stage and recover most their gothic influences]
Of my point of view they are like the sons of Paradise Lost and the Cousins of The Gathering (in their gothic metal age)
Lacuna Coil Formed in 1994 in Milán, first under the name "Sleep of right" changing for "Ethereal", till their current name. The band currently is formed by Cristina Scabbia (voice), Andrea Ferro (voice), Cristiano Migliore (guitar), Marco Biazzi (guitar), Marco Coti Zelati (bass), Cristiano Mozzati (drums).
Begining in their first albums with sounds clearly gothic metal with the armonious voices of Cristina and the heavier voice of Andrea with the melodics guitar chords and strong riffs in ocasions, have been the characteristic of Lacuna Coil, also leaving glimpse in their songs their influences of bands as Paradise Lost, Type O Negative, Tiamat, Depeche mode.
"Lacuna Coil EP", "In a Reverie", "Halflife", "Unleashed Memories" are their first and very good albums keeping the gothic line adding in ocassions soft melodies and getting their own sound to that epoch, untill obtain the global recognition with the album "Comalies" hailed by critics and fans.

"Karmacode" is the next album, wich is the evolve of the band using hard guitars riffs and leaving a bit their old sounds. Recently released "Shallow Life" althought somewhat is different, but is their style, since somehow still preserve their gothic roots.
Other of the characteristic of Lacuna Coil, from the aesthetic point of view, each of them dress similar clothes or uniforms in their concerts or some promo pictures.
Some of their songs have been parts of sountrack as "Swamped" for Resident Evil:Apocalypse and "Our Truth" for Underworld Evolution.
