Lacuna Coil Premiere Live Themed Music Video For "Hosting The Shadow" Featuring Lamb Of God's Frontman Randy Blythe

Italian goth metal veterans Lacuna Coil have unveiled a new performance-focused video for their track “Hosting The Shadow.” The song, which features a guest appearance from Lamb Of God frontman Randy Blythe, sees Blythe reprising his role in the newly released clip. The footage was captured during the bands’ shared performance at the Aftershock Festival in Sacramento, CA this past October.

Reflecting on the experience of performing and filming the song live with Blythe, vocalist Cristina Scabbia shared:

“Filming the video for ‘Hosting The Shadow‘ at Aftershock, sharing the stage with my family in Lacuna Coil and with Randy Blythe was a truly cathartic experience. Randy is not only an incredible, professional musician, he’s also a precious friend and has added so much to our song. I think the video shows clearly the level of emotion and joy we shared both off and onstage – I used that positive energy to give it my all even though I was performing with a fever, ha ha! Please enjoy the video, I truly hope you like it!”
