#574 - Cristina Scabbia (Lacuna Coil)

This week on The MetalSucks Podcast, Lacuna Coil vocalist Cristina
Scabbia joins the show! She's here to discuss the band's latest
album Sleepless Empire coming out this Friday, Feb. 14! We discuss
if there was any plans for releasing the album on Valentine’s Day,
the challenge of creating after the experience they had with
previous album Black Anima, and making sure to celebrate the past
in a way that looks to the band's creative future. We also chat
about the single Lacuna Coil recorded with members each band from
their upcoming North American tour, her favorite visual filmmakers
that leave an impression on her, and why its so hard to pick a
setlist for a show after 10 albums. Petar and Sylvia discuss the
final performance of Black Sabbath being booked July 5, the
revelations of his health being in a bad place, the dream lineup
playing the final show, the concerns that we have despite it being
all for charity and all the bands sharing the stage, Gojira taking
home the Grammy for the Best Metal Performance, Courtney LaPlante
of Spiritbox doing a brilliant Poppy impersonation, and the major
missed opportunity for System of a Down by not making a new album
for our scene. Song: Lacuna Coil “Gravity” Song: Lacuna Coil
