June 2 — Lacuna Coil unveiled its latest single this week.
The band premiered its new single, ‘Never Dawn‘ Friday. The song is an interesting presentation because it takes listeners in a direction the band has rarely gone. The aggro-rock sound and style of the arrangement is a stark contrast to the more goth-leaning sounds that audiences have come to know from the band. The screams from vocalist Cristina Scabbia are comparable to those of Otep vocalist Otep Shamaya in their sound and delivery, making for even more interest.
Scabbia talked about the band’s new single in a prepared statement, offering a history on the song, as well as an explanation of the song’s lyrical theme.
“First presented, in its instrumental version, in the trailer for Zombicide White Death game, and then in its live version, during our last sold out show in LA, we’re so incredibly thrilled to finally unveil the full version of NEVER DAWN!,” Scabbia said. “This song is a fierce survival journey throughout grotesque and frozen lands, where the power within is the main weapon. Ignite the fire in your heart and enjoy the listening!“
