This marks their first album of new material since 2019’s ‘Black Anima,’ they have unveiled the lead single ‘Oxygen’ along with a captivating music video featuring lead vocalist Cristina Scabbia.

‘Sleepless Empire’ is a result of the band’s inspiration during the Comalies XX sessions and was written and recorded in northern Italy.

Guest Appearances: The album features guest vocalists Randy Blythe from Lamb of God on ‘Hosting the Shadow’ and Ash Costello from New Year’s Day on ‘In The Mean Time.’
Unique Offering: In a nod to their love for gaming, LACUNA COIL has included an oracle “game” with custom dice in the box set version of ‘Sleepless Empire.’
