LACUNA COIL - 'I WISH YOU WERE DEAD'
Lacuna Coil release ultimate single “I Wish You Were Dead” ahead of new album “Sleepless Empire”; out this Friday, February 14th; announce release events; additional album signing events in UK & Italy; on EU/UK “Sleepless Empire” 2025 tour in autumn
Just 3 days ahead of the release of their new studio album “Sleepless Empire”, Italian metal titans Lacuna Coil release the ultimate single “I Wish You Were Dead” to sweeten the time.
The band shares about the new single and the album release:
“We all have this person we wish never existed, right? We all felt the need to erase the same person from our thoughts, someone who hurt us that it’s still in our mind. We wanted to write heavier lyrics on a happier musical canvas. Also we are a little tired of being politically correct at all costs…”
“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 of it all. Throughout every song, the journey is an undercurrent of rebellion, a desperate cry to reclaim oneself in an era that seems to have lost its sense of time and reality.”
“Sleepless Empire” marks the 10th studio album of Lacuna Coil and is set to be released this Friday, February 14th, 2025, via Century Media Records. It is the first long player release after their remake album Comalies XX, which came out 2022. The new album comprises 11 new tracks; and each one is a richly textured soundtrack to a specific time and a 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
In addition, the band will be available to sign the new album in London at HMV Oxford Street on Valentine’s Day starting at 6pm.
