Members
of Lacuna Coil revealed they’re working on a new studio album earlier this
year, and we finally know when it’s coming our way. Italian gothic metal band
will drop their new record Black Anima later
this fall.

The band’s ninth studio album will hit the shelves on October 11th, and co-vocalist Cristina Scabbia promised it will explore “human beings in the magnificence of a disturbing ambiguity”.

“Black Anima is all of us. It’s you and
it’s me, it’s everything we hide and fiercely expose to a world that’s halfway
asleep. It is the fogged mirror we are peering into searching for the truth.
It’s sacrifice and pain, it’s justice and fear, it’s fury and revenge, it’s
past and future,” said Scabbia in a statement.

Black Anima will serve as the follow-up to their critically acclaimed album Delirium from 2016. Lacuna Coil went through several important changes in the line-up before this album came out since several members retired from the band before it was recorded.
