Lacuna Coil Drop New Single In The Mean Time Featuring Ash Costello Of New Years Day

Lacuna Coil have returned with a new single, In The Mean Time.
It finds the Italian goth metallers collaborating with New Years Day singer Ash Costello, who lends her powerhouse vocals to the crushingly heavy track.
The song also marks the band's first release since their standalone 2023 single, Never Dawn. The year before, they dropped 'Comalies XX', a collection of "deconstructed" and reworked tracks from their third album, 2002's 'Comalies'. They said:
"In The Mean Time is a reflection on how much our society has generally 'lost the plot'. We are living in really mean times filled with unhappy people: lonely, anxious, depressed, destructive. The pressure that crushes from the outside doesn't allow to see things with the right clarity. This song is like group therapy: not a lamentation, but acceptance that once broken, it’s hard to put oneself back together again. We need to take our minds off all the inescapable toxicity and find that there’s so much more to this life… and know that in the meantime, everything cannot be aligned."
On the team up with Costello, they continued: "We invited Ash Costello from New Years Day to feature on the track and we're thrilled she came on board adding exactly what we needed for this song with her warm voice and charisma."
Lacuna Coil will embark on a US tour in May, featuring support from New Years Day. They'll return to the UK and Ireland with a run of dates dubbed the In The Meantime... Tour in the autumn, with special guests Blind Channel. Tickets are on sale now.
