Century Media Records reports:

Italian goth-metal icons LACUNA COIL have started work on a DVD project which is tentatively scheduled to be released later this year.

The DVD will be a retrospective of all things from the band’s Karmacode album cycle. It will be including promotional videos, spectacularly remixed pro-shot festival appearances, behind-the-scenes travel documentaries and home videos - and a few other fan-friendly surprises!

This will be the first “official” Lacuna Coil DVD release.

Fans take note: For more details on the fan-friendly surprises be sure to visit http://www.lacunacoil.it regularly for information!

Also, Lacuna Coil vocalist Cristina Scabbia has confirmed that she will be performing with Finnish cello metal sensations APOCALYPTICA at this years’ Download Festival on Sunday, June 15th.

Cristina will be performing the epic ballad 'SOS (Anything But Love)' which was released earlier this year. The Download Festival performance will be the first time that Apocalyptica have performed live with Cristina Scabbia and it's also a first for Cristina to be performing in the UK without Lacuna Coil, something she's rather excited about:

"Ok guys, let's spit it out, finally: I'll be in the UK soon! Yeeeeeees, I've been invited by my friends Apocalyptica to join them during their set at Download, on the song 'SOS (Anything For Love)' and GOD I SO can't wait! You know how much I love the UK and how much I ADORE the always fantastic crowd, so expect me to be very emotional and happy on stage! I want to see you all there during the performance, it's gonna rock."

Apocalyptica and Cristina will also be performing their song at this years prestigious Metal Hammer Golden Gods Awards at Indigo O2 on June 16th.

Cristina comments: "Last time I performed at the Metal Hammer Award: 1) I won an award, and that was AWESOME 2) I was sick, very sick, and that was a LITTLE LESS awesome, but STILL great because Lacuna Coil performed that night as well... and I saw you guys being there with us, hearts and souls. This year I'll be there without the Lacuna boys, but with my other buddies of Apocalyptica. When we perform ‘SOS (Anything But Love)’ I expect you all to sing it with me!!! And after, we all will party together, that's for sure!"
