In the runup to their latest album, Black Anima, frontwoman Cristiana Scabbia has explained exactly what it is she wants to give fans. She emphasizes that the Lacuna Coil experience offers something deeper than “little fixes of entertainment.”

“Well we’re trying to do things in a quite old-fashioned way,” Scabbia told NME. “We’re trying to write records, not songs. On the new record, there’s an intro and an outro, and you should try to enjoy the record in its entirety. We’re trying to get an hour from people to lay down on their bed, close their eyes and come on a journey with us. That’s the goal.”

She went onto explain why she chose to include the visual element of tarot cards with the record.

“We like to try to add a visual element to our records too,” she explained. “This time we’ve made tarot cards with the record, which I think suits it because it’s a very – how do you say? – esoteric record, in a spiritual way. There’s a card for each song, designed by the artist Micah Ulrich. I don’t really believe that tarot can tell the future, but I do think they’re a good visual to show where you’re at in your life.”

Black Anima is available for streaming now.

“We’ve always tried to have a record that makes sense when we release it. If it’s 2019, it has to be a record that makes sense in 2019,” Ferro told DaBelly Magazine. “Obviously, we do have our style that we bring for 20 years, so you will recognize the style of the band no matter what direction we go.”

Lacuna Coil is a true veteran of the craft, having started out back in 1994, albeit under different names. Over the years the band’s sound has changed somewhat to lean less on guitar melodies and to feature more prominent bass lines.

“It’s important for us to keep a certain freshness in the production, the sounds we’re choosing, the arrangement we choose,” Ferro explained. “That makes it interesting for us, as well as for the fans. We have to play these songs for a long time, so it’s important that we’re still excited about playing them.”

As for the overall experience, Ferro is convinced fans would find the album a diverse and satisfying listen: “We have some songs that are really heavy, some others that are more catchy and some others which are more introspective and trippy. It’s probably the most complete record we’ve done.”
