Century Media Records reports:

Italy’s greatest musical export, LACUNA COIL, have returned with the new full-length release, Shallow Life, which is set for an April 21st North American release. The album was recorded with acclaimed producer Don Gilmore at the famed NRG Studios in Los Angeles. This new effort is another huge step forward in the band’s continuous evolution and marks their first full-length since 2006’s Karmacode and promises to be well worth the wait.

An incredible, specially priced Shallow Life pre-order package is now exclusively available through CMDistro.com and this is a must for all diehard fans. The limited number package includes the Shallow Life CD, an 8x10 glossy band photo, a guitar pick, shallow life cover sticker and a choice between a Lacuna Coil necklace or belt buckle. NOTE: All materials included are exclusive to this pre-order and can’t be found anywhere else. Be sure to click on the link now as supplies are limited.

Fans can now also rejoice as Lacuna Coil are looking to debut some new material on this spring’s Music As A Weapon IV festival. Lacuna Coil joins such hard rock titans as DISTURBED and KILLSWITCH ENGAGE on the road beginning March 20th, crisscrossing the US before finishing May 16th. The 38-city Music As A Weapon IV fest marks the group’s first run of North America in almost two years. Feel free to visit the newly revamped MySpace to stream the amazing new single 'Spellbound' and to view their complete touring itinerary.

Cristina Scabbia (vocals) states: “Shallow Life is a natural metamorphosis from within the band; we explored different musical territories while maintaining our own style. A mix of old and new, fast and slow and light and dark. The album production is incredibly powerful and has a beautiful purity to it. 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.”

Andrea Ferro (male vocals) adds: “We are thrilled to be involved in what will surely be an amazing tour, a great event of rock n' roll culture! We're really happy to get back on the road in the U.S. after a long time. The new songs in the rehearsal room sound awesome and we're looking forward to play some for you. We hope to see you all soon.”

There is no better indication that greatness can be achieved through a resilient work ethic than with Lacuna Coil, whose aggressive touring and extensive critical praise have now poised them for mainstream domination. The group initially left their mark on the hard rock scene in 2004 with their acclaimed album, Comalies, which opened several opportunities for them that were previously thought unattainable for an Italian band, such as two highly successful commercial radio campaigns alongside a breakthrough OZZFest appearance resulting in over 500,000 copies sold worldwide with over a quarter of a million in the US alone.
