Marco Biazzi Biography

Vocalist Andrea Ferro and bassist/composer Marco Coti Zelati formed Sleep of Right in Milan, Italy, 1994, and recruited Raffaele Zagaria on guitars, and Michaelangelo Algardi on the drums. After recording a song titled “Bleeding Souls” for the Noise of Bolgia compilation in 1995, Claudio Leo became the band’s second guitarist, and Leonardo Forti replaced Michaelangelo on the drums after his departure. The band asked Cristina Scabbia, a friend and girlfriend of Marco at the time, to sing background vocals briefly, which led to her officially joining the band. Soon after, the band changed their name to Ethereal, and signed to Century Media at the end of 1997. Finding that the name Ethereal was already taken by a Greek band, they changed their name to Lacuna Coil, meaning “empty spiral.”

Lacuna Coil is an Italian gothic metal band from Milan. Since their formation in 1994, the group has had two name changes, being previously known as Sleep of Right and Ethereal, and they have recorded nine studio albums, two extended plays, two live albums, two compilation albums, one video album, and sixteen singles and music videos.

Lacuna Coil released a self-titled EP through Century Media in 1998, shortly after Raffael Zagaria, Claudio Leo, and Leonardo Forti departed. As a result, guitarist Cristiano Migliore and drummer Cristiano Mozzati were recruited officially. At this point, the band was touring with Moonspell after the release of the Lacuna Coil EP.

Following their debut, In a Reverie, the EP Half-Life was released in 2000 with five songs: “Half Life,” “Hyperfast,” “Stars” (a cover of a Dubstar single), “Trance Awake” and a demo version of “Senzafine.” The final version of the latter was included in the 2001 album Unleashed Memories. While the studio album contained 10 songs, later re-releases included the Halflife EP. That same year, the band toured the United States for the first time, supporting Moonspell.

The band’s breakthrough album Comalies was released in 2002. A significant player on Europe’s metal scene for nearly a decade at this point, the band was virtually unknown in the United States. The TV series Uranium gave the band some of its earliest US exposure; over a year later, the first single from Comalies, “Heaven’s a Lie,” began to receive radio and media attention, pulling the band into North America’s musical mainstream. They kicked off their first headlining U.S. tour in 2003, supported by Dog Fashion Disco. Networks such as Fuse played the song’s video, for example. In early 2005, “Heaven’s a Lie” won in The 4th Annual Independent Music Awards for Best Hard Rock/Metal Song. The beginning of this song was also used as the introduction music for the audio podcast novel The Rookie by Scott Sigler. The second single, “Swamped,” was played in heavy rotation and used in the video game Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines. It also appeared on the soundtrack for the movie Resident Evil: Apocalypse. Videos were filmed for both songs and broadcast on MTV2’s Headbanger’s Ball, which also saw the band perform an acoustic rendition of “Heaven’s a Lie” live.

By 2004, Comalies had become the best-selling CD in Century Media’s history. The band appeared at Ozzfest in between headlining club tours in the United States and Europe. A bonus, extended version of Comalies was released both in stores and on iTunes. This version consisted of both live and acoustic versions of the songs “Heaven’s A Lie,” “Swamped,” “Unspoken,” “Aeon” and “Senzafine” from Unleashed Memories.

During their 2005 European Tour, Lacuna Coil debuted two new songs from Karmacode at selected concerts: “Our Truth” and “Fragile” under the working titles “Antonio” and “A2” respectively.

The band and label postponed the release of their follow-up to Comalies, Karmacode, to early 2006. According to the band’s website, this made it possible for more time to be spent on production and to avoid the crowded summer 2005 release schedule for metal albums. On December 23, 2005 the band announced on their web site that all recording, mixing, and mastering on Karmacode had been completed. It was then announced that Karmacode would be released in the United States on April 4, 2006.

Karmacode debuted at number 28 on the Billboard 200. Considered by Billboard to be “the biggest album in the history of Century Media Records,” it was acclaimed by music critics and magazines. Corresponding with the release of the new album, Lacuna Coil toured with Rob Zombie throughout North America in early 2006. After their tour with Zombie, they performed main stage at Ozzfest 2006 along with System of a Down, Ozzy Osbourne, and Hatebreed, becoming the first female-fronted band to co-headline the heavy-metal festival. That summer they also played on the main stage of the Download Festival (a three-day music festival in England’s Donington Park), which was headlined by Metallica, Tool, and Guns N’ Roses. That December, Lacuna Coil teamed up with In Flames, The Sword and Seemless for a US tour, as well as The Blackest of the Black 2006 Tour.

They have toured internationally and were nominated in 2006 for a MTV Europe Music Award. They won the 2012 Metal Female Voices Fest Award for the Best Album, the 2016 Metal Hammer Award for the Best International Band, and the 2018 Metal Hammer Golden Gods Award for Best Live Act. The band’s 2012 release, Dark Adrenaline, peaked at number 15 on the Billboard 200. As of March 2012, Lacuna Coil have sold over two million albums worldwide.

The band toured extensively to support the album throughout 2007. This included the Jägermeister Music Tour, The Hottest Chicks in Metal Tour 2007, Loudpark Festival ’07 in Saitama City’s Saitama Super Arena, and the Australian leg of Megadeth’s Gigantour.

On December 13, 2008, it was revealed that the new album would be titled Shallow Life. The album was released in Europe on April 20, 2009 and in the United States on April 21, 2009. It debuted at number 16 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart, and became Lacuna Coil’s first Top 20 album in the U.S. As of September 2009, it has sold nearly 70,000 copies in the United States.

In 2008, it was announced that Lacuna Coil’s fifth studio album would be produced by Don Gilmore and would include some Arabic influences. Cristina Scabbia explained in the magazine Rock Sound: “It’s different, but it’s our style. We haven’t done anything absolutely different from our style, because that wouldn’t be natural, that would be weird – it wouldn’t be us. The songs are definitely more powerful, more complete, more intense, more straight-to-the-point.” Andrea Ferro said: “We’ve put more attention on the real meaning of the songs, so the vocals are a bit more prominent. We’ve worked a lot with Don Gilmore on the pronunciation of the words in English, so people really understand the meanings of the words. There are strong choruses, where people can relate and really understand what we mean.”

Lacuna Coil’s first live DVD was released in November 2008, entitled Visual Karma (Body, Mind and Soul). The CD/DVD package is a retrospective of all things from the band’s Karmacode album cycle. The set list features concerts filmed at Germany’s Wacken Festival and at the Japanese Loudpark Festival in 2007.

In February and March 2009, Lacuna Coil played at the Australian music festival Soundwave alongside metal acts including DevilDriver, In Flames, Lamb of God, and Nine Inch Nails. The festival spanned five capital cities, at which they performed their single “Spellbound” from Shallow Life for the first time. Early June saw them play in the UK at Download Festival. Their set was scheduled for the opening day, where they would play on the second stage just before Opeth and later Mötley Crüe. Later in July 2009, Lacuna Coil embarked on the American Spellbound Tour, alongside Kill Hannah, Seventh Void, and Dommin. This was Lacuna Coil’s first U.S. headlining run in over two years and the first tour the band has been on since the Music as a Weapon Tour IV alongside Disturbed, Killswitch Engage, and Chimaira in early 2009. During Early 2010 (Jan/Feb) the band came to the United Kingdom to do a Headline “Shallow Life” tour with their support acts Dommin and Dirty Little Rabbits. They then returned to the UK again in September/October 2010 headlining the “Survive” tour, this time at more intimate/VIP venues, with the support act Slaves to Gravity.

A new album that was in the works since the first quarter of 2011 was confirmed with its title later being revealed as Dark Adrenaline. Produced by Don Gilmore and mixed by Marco Barusso. On September 2, 2011, it was announced that the first single from the record, titled “Trip the Darkness,” was released digitally on October 17, 2011, with the album’s release following on January 24, 2012. The album’s third single, “End of Time,” was released on December 12, 2012; the music video for the song was shot in Italy on October 17, 2012.

In September 2013, the band announced the start of recording their new album with the producer Jay Baumgardner. Lacuna Coil announced the title of their upcoming album, Broken Crown Halo, due for release April 1 in North America.

The first track of their new album called “Nothing Stands In Our Way” was premiered online. On February 14, 2014, the band announced via their Facebook page that their guitarist Cristiano “Pizza” Migliore and drummer Cristiano “Criz” Mozzati decided to retire from the band after 16 years, citing personal reasons. Ryan Folden (The Agony Scene, Burn Halo, Enterprise Earth, After Midnight Project) has since joined the band.

On December 8, 2015, it was announced that the band are recording a new album, titled Delirium, produced by Marco Coti Zelati and mixed by Marco Barusso. On April 8, 2016, Lacuna Coil premiered the song “The House of Shame” along with announcing the release of the album to be May 27, 2016. On July 21, 2016, Lacuna Coil presented the album’s second single “Delirium” as a Music Video, followed by their third single “Blood, Tears, Dust,” as a Music-Action Video on March 22, 2017, and their fourth single, “You Love Me ‘Cause I Hate You” on May 15, 2017. On December 9, 2016, Lacuna Coil premiered a new Christmas-themed song titled “Naughty Christmas” as a stand-alone single. On January 14, 2016, Lacuna Coil announced the amicable departure of longtime guitarist Marco Biazzi. On April 11, 2016, during an Italian press tour, Cristina Scabbia and Andrea Ferro presented Diego Cavallotti as the new live guitarist for the forthcoming tour.
