Lacuna Coil Announce Black Anima: Live From The Apocalypse Livestream

Italian gothic metallers Lacuna Coil have announced details of a very special livestream in which they will perform their latest album, Black Anima, in full.

Their upcoming Live From The Apocalypse show will take place on September 11 from the Alcatraz Club in Milan, with the band stressing just how excited they are to play live given how long they've been locked down in their home country amid the coronavirus pandemic.

“When the world changed, we were in the early stages of touring our new album, Black Anima,” they say. “Months have gone by and the desire to get back up onstage and play our music for you has just grown bigger and bigger. While the pandemic won’t allow us to travel to your hometowns, it can’t stop us from coming directly into your homes. Please welcome Black Anima, Live From The Apocalypse…”

It makes sense that the band have opted for a new-album-in-full performance, given that vocalist Cristina Scabbia described Black Anima to Kerrang! as “like a great movie”.

Fans will “feel great and angry and happy and awkward” when they listen to it, she said. “At the end they will feel a sense of relief and release – that’s what I get from this record.”
