Lacuna Coil Sleepless Emire Tour 2025 + Special Guests

Lacuna Coil’s Sleepless Empire is more than just an album—it’s a cinematic, dark, and richly textured journey that captures a moment in time. As songwriter Marco Coti Zelati (Maki) explains, the creative spark began with Comalies XX and evolved into a sound blending orchestral influences with heavy music, inspired by film scores and horror classics.

From the anthemic The Siege to the infectious I Wish You Were Dead, the album brims with confidence and surprises, including guest vocals from Ash Costello (New Years Day) and Randy Blythe (Lamb of God). Vocalist Andrea Ferro highlights their long-standing friendship with Blythe, while Costello’s fiery rock voice was a perfect fit for the album’s dynamic sound.

Lyrically, Sleepless Empire reflects the tension of modern life—our digital obsession and societal shifts—something Cristina Scabbia deeply connects with. The album’s concept, artwork by Roberto Toderico, and even a hidden Oracle divination game in the box set all underscore Lacuna Coil’s commitment to authenticity in an increasingly tech-driven world.

Defiantly forging ahead while honoring their past, Sleepless Empire stands as both a timely and timeless statement from a band that continues to evolve.
