Lacuna Coil have released a new single.
Both melodic and headbang-inducing, Hosting The Shadow features Lamb Of God frontman Randy Blythe and follows on from the Italian goth metal legends' April single, In The Mean Time with New Years Day singer Ash Costello. The band commented:
"Hosting The Shadow is a trip through light and dark, where silence reveals its hidden secrets. Obscure moments can become occasions to evolve, to learn to master one’s own shadow – which is crucial in order to prevail. Randy Blythe did an incredible job on this track, we absolutely adore his voice and his evil laugh! Our admiration for him is infinite, and to have him as a guest on this song is a dream come true. Partnering with a friend you respect immensely, that also kicks ass on stages around the world: it doesn’t get any better than this. We’re looking forward to the day we can perform ‘Hosting The Shadow’ live together!"
Blythe added: "I was super excited when Lacuna Coil asked me to sing on a song with them – not only am I a big fan of their music, they are truly beautiful souls who have been like family to me for 20 years now. We've played shows together all over the world, and I've always wanted to jump onstage and sing with them – I can't wait until it actually happens with Hosting the Shadow!"
Lacuna Coil will embark on a UK and Ireland tour in October, joined by special guests Blind Channel from Finland. Tickets are on sale now.
The band's latest studio album is 2019's 'Black Anima', though they did release the remix LP 'Comalies XX' in 2022 and 'Live From The Apocalypse' in 2021.
