LACUNA COIL Release Seventh Studio Album \u2018Broken Crown Halo\u2019<\/strong><\/span>

\nMilan, Italy-based heavy rock group Lacuna Coil issued seventh studio full-length album Broken Crown Halo<\/em> in North America on April 1st, 2014 through Century Media Records. The label also scheduled international release for one day earlier.<\/p>\n

The outing was cut in Milan, Italy, with Jay Baumgardner handling production duties and Kyle Hoffman handling engineering duties. Mastering responsibilities fell to Howie Weinberg, meanwhile.<\/p>\n

Lacuna Coil issued the following statement: \u201cWhat conflict could run so deep that it takes you to the deepest corners of your inner world? Today we are surrounded by a lot of lies, aliases, and people acting like they are wearing an invisible crown \u2014 but you better have thick skin if you want to wear this crown! <\/p>\n

\u201cBroken Crown Halo<\/em> is a cinematic album that could be the soundtrack of our days \u2014 it is a dark vision of a near future when survival is second nature, and failure is not something to be avoided, but rather cultivated with lessons learned along the way.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe set the bar pretty high with Dark Adrenaline<\/em> and it hasn’t been easy bringing our sound to the next level, but we have lived, learned and grown through a year full of personal issues and changes. We learned to be strong and get stronger, and we felt an inner vibe in this band that we haven’t felt before. We locked ourselves in an age-old studio in Milan, Italy, where history was strong and the past met with our future, vintage gear and the influence of classic Italian horror movies and bands like Goblin meeting the fresh and rough sounds of the modern world with unique and invigorating results. Broken Crown Halo<\/em> is Lacuna Coil introducing a new order, and letting nothing stand in our way…\u201d<\/p>\n
