Italian goth metal megastars, Lacuna Coil, will release the much anticipated follow-up to their 2006 album, Karmacode, on April 20 through Century Media.The new album will be entitled Shallow Life, and it was produced by Don Gilmore (Linkin Park, Good Charlotte, Avril Lavigne). "Shallow Life is a natural metamorphosis from within the band," says frontwoman Cristina Scabbia. "We explored different musical territories while maintaining our own style. A mix of old and new, fast and slow, light and dark."The album production is incredibly powerful and has a beautiful purity to it," she continues. "Hopefully listeners will feel the same sort of connection that we have to these songs. It would be great to think that we have produced songs that will make anybody either think, smile or cry. Shallow Life has forced us to challenge ourselves. It represents the way we see ourselves in the days we live in through truth, love and lies." The band will tour the US with Disturbed and Killswitch Engage on Music As A Weapon from March to May before hitting the European festival circuit.
