Radio Metal has issued an interview with LACUNA COIL singer Cristina Scabbia. An excerpt follows:

Q: Lacuna Coil never repeat themselves with any album, but this time, Dark Adrenaline seems to be a great mixture of all the different parts of the evolution of the band – from the gothic vibe of the early days to the new metal sound of an album like Karmacode. With this album, did you feel the need to take stock, to recap what you have been doing so far?

A: "No, it was something we realized after we let people listen to the album. It’s not something we planned. But whether we like it or not, what we are today is a summary of what we lived in the past. The old school vibe, the stuff that we did in the past, it’s still a part of us, even if we’re not looking back. It came up in the songwriting, but we weren’t planning that. We weren’t planning to recreate something we did in the past, or to create a mix of the old and the new. But it’s nice to notice, because it’s still us."

Q: About this new album, you declared in an interview: 'We’re kind of getting heavier while everybody else is getting mellower'. Do you really mean that? Do you really see other bands getting softer?

A: "Yes, I think so. I see a lot of other bands in our own genre – but I’m not going to name names – that are pretty much following what we did a few years ago. They’re going into more melodic, mainstream sonorities, and we’re doing the opposite. We’re doing something completely different from everybody else. It would have been easier for us, now that we enter the charts at a very high position, to do something even softer, or rock, or radio-oriented. Instead we went into something that is heavier. This album is the heaviest we’ve ever done. This is not going to make everything easy for us to be played on the radio and to get more support."
