Lacuna Coil To Release New Album In February

Italian metal titans Lacuna Coil announce their 10th studio album, "Sleepless Empire," their first collection of new songs since 2019’s Black Anima, with their new single "Oxygen." The new song comes with a mesmerising new music video, filmed in Latina and directed by Daniele Tofani, that shows singer Cristina Scabbia in the lead role. You can check it out below.

Cristina Scabbia commented on the track and her experience filming the video:
"'Oxygen' is a powerful exploration of emotional struggle and inner conflict. The lyrics convey a sense of drowning in a toxic environment, both literally (in the video) and metaphorically, where attempts at salvation, represented by 'oxygen' are somehow futile. This song encapsulates the feeling of struggling to break free from what holds us down, when the journey is filled with difficulty. It’s a raw anthem of vulnerability, resilience, and the courage to face what seems insurmountable. Having to stay in the water for so many hours during the video shoot was cathartic for me, the realisation that the pleasant sensation of floating could in an instant become dangerous and deadly if I wasn’t careful was very fitting with the song’s theme."

Cannibal Corpse Brutalises The Bristol Beacon

When it comes to death metal, there are thousands of imitators and generic clones, but there are those who sit upon its thrones, daring anyone to take their place. Since their first album, "Eaten Back To Life," was released in 1990, Cannibal Corpse has been standing tall, achieving commercial and critical success for three and over four decades, despite bans, censorship and smear campaigns. In 2024, this is as true as ever and the Buffalo born quintet are as determined as ever to keep their crown and are currently proving this with a huge tour of Europe, that includes fellow veterans and the young & hungry. On September 25th, they brought the tour to the beautiful Beacon venue (formerly the Colston Hall) in Bristol.

It may have been an early kick off, but there was certainly no lack of excitement for those who arrived early, as Belgian death metallers Schizophrenia opened proceedings. Having released their debut album in 2022, they're still relative newcomers, though they perform with the precision and cohesiveness of veterans. It's an interesting time to see Schizophrenia, as they've just released a live album, so comparing the release to the real thing is quite fun, in particular when it comes to their cover of Slayer's "Necrophiliac," which is included on the live record. There seems to be something of a resurgence in the popularity of old school death metal among younger bands, which is cool to see, and Schizophrenia take that formula and like many of their best contemporaries, modernise it just enough to make it fresh. A great way to start the show. More...
