Lacuna Coil et The Halo Effect

I first found lacuna coil at Ozzfest in 2004. Lacuna Coil was just one of many great bands that day, but after they finished their short set I just had to see more.

I've seen Lacuna coil play big amphitheaters to small clubs and no matter the venue they come to play. Lacuna Coil brings energy to their shows and in turn the audience gives it back. I've had my nose busted up in a Lacuna Coil mosh pit. I have seen Hatebreed, Lamb of God, Cannibal Corps…etc and that’s never happened.

Most of the shows I have seen that Lacuna Coil has headlined Andrea and Cristina will go through some sort of wardrobe change during the show. Andrea and Cristina will wear some sort of jacket and shed as the show goes on. Depending on the show Lacuna Coil my slow the music down. Andrea and Cristina will sometime sing with just the aid of a guitar, or the band might just use mellow cords and percussion to accompany the vocals.

Lacuna Coil music has changed from album to album. Lacuna Coil first four albums had a Goth sound when Waldemar Sorytchta was the Producer. Lacuna Coil’s sound changed to more of a rock sound when Don Gilmor was the producer on there albums Shallow Life and Dark Adrenalin. Lacuna Coil got Jay Baumgardner to produce their most recent album Broken Crown Halo.

Broken Crown Halo is the heaviest album the Band has put so far. The duel vocals of Andrea and Cristina are not typical beauty and the beast vocals of most metal bands with male and female singers. Andrea and Cristina vocals’ work harmony together for a really cool sound.

This was the first time I saw the band live but they did not disappoint. The venue was quite small but filled with an enthusiastic audience and the band interacted a lot with the crowd. The music was brilliant as always and the energy of the guys on stage made for a very nice evening!
