LACUNA COIL
Lacuna Coil releases 5th single – “Gravity” – from upcoming album,
‘Sleepless Empire’ — out February 14th via Century Media Records
Sleepless Empire is available to pre-order
2025 may have barely started but Italian metal legends LACUNA COIL are already going full force with the release of their new single Gravity which comes with a striking new video. Gravity is the fifth single taken from their forthcoming new album Sleepless Empire, which will be released via Century Media Records on 14 February. Exploring themes of the inevitability of fate and the constant cycle of falling and rising, Gravity delivers an important message of resilience.
Commenting about the single the band say:
“Balance is so difficult to keep as we navigate through desperate times, feeling lost and gasping as we ask for help. How do we deal with tough times? Do we ask for a hand? Or do we isolate ourselves from everything else to recollect in our own misanthropic golden cage? I hope you will love Gravity as much as we do and that it will help you to reflect on the time we have left and how to use it wisely.”
Sleepless Empire marks the 10th studio album from Lacuna Coil and is their first long player release after their remake album Comalies XX in 2022.
The band shared the following about the album:
“Sleepless Empire captures, through our eyes, the chaos of a generation trapped in a digital world that never stops, where social media consumes identity, and every day pushes us one step closer to becoming soulless zombies. We find ourselves in between, having witnessed a full analogic world and the modern one, confronting the evolution and searching for a true meaning to it al. Throughout every song, the journey is an undercurrent of rebellion, a desperate cry to reclaim ourselves in an era that seems to have lost its sense of time and reality.”
The new album comprises eleven tracks and each one is a richly textured soundtrack to a specific time and place. With Sleepless Empire, that place is dark, cinematic and unmistakably true to the unique characteristics that have given Lacuna Coil such a celebrated entry in the annals of heavy music.
