Hot off the heels of the massive North American Gigantour (alongside Megadeth, Motorhead and Volbeat), international goth metal stars Lacuna Coil are proud to announce the “Dark Legacy” tour, the band’s only headlining run in the United States in 2012. The shows will feature a set of more than two hours, with material spanning all of Lacuna Coil’s albums. Lacuna Coil frontwoman Cristina Scabbia commented, “The Dark Legacy tour is a dream come true! This tour will present the history of Lacuna Coil, melding old fans with a new generation of Coilers. The Dark Legacy set will offer both the electric and acoustic vibe and absolute melodic epicness!” Frontman Andrea Ferro added, “We wanted to give our fans a special present for Lacuna Coil’s fifteenth anniversary and that was the inspiration for the Dark Legacy tour. The Dark Legacy show will be very special, with a lot of our history in a surprise-filled set. You won’t want to miss it!” Please see below for tour dates, with additional dates still to be announced.

Lacuna Coil is touring in support of their stunning new album DARK ADRENALINE (Century Media Records). The latest offering recently debuted at #15 on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart, selling nearly 20,000 units in its first week, marking the band’s highest album chart debut ever. The album has received rave reviews from the press and fans alike, with Outburn avowing, “The only band that counts is Lacuna Coil, and new album DARK ADRENALINE is the case in point…”, The New Yorker.com stating, “DARK ADRENALINE is packed with ear-whacking passages that belie solid pop hooks…” and Spin.com declaring, “…try not to get sucked into Cristina Scabbia and Andrea Ferro’s hurricane-force melodies…” The video for the latest single “Trip The Darkness” can be viewed here.
For more than a decade, Italy’s Lacuna Coil has been a fixture in the international metal scene, gracing the covers of countless hard rock and metal publications worldwide. With six full-length albums, two EPs, various singles and a DVD to their credit, the band has sold upwards of 800,000 units in the United States alone and is well-established on Active Rock radio. Melding seductive vocals with a modern, electronica-inspired metal sound, Lacuna Coil has wowed audiences as headliners the world over, and as featured guests on Ozzfest, as well as on all of the major European festivals such as Download and Graspop. Lacuna Coil, whose moniker translates to “empty spiral’ in English, is: Cristina Scabbia (female vocals), Andrea Ferro (male vocals), Cristiano Migliore (guitar), Marco Biazzi (guitar), Marco Coti Zelati (bass) and Cristiano Mozzati (drums/percussion).
