Lacuna Coil
Biography
With the debut of their self-titled 1998 EP, Lacuna Coil (which translates to "empty spiral" in English) turned a lot of heads in Italy's ambient/goth scene thanks in part to Cristina Scabbia's haunting but mesmerizing vocals. Additional recognition came after a European tour with Moonspell and later with the Gathering and Seigmen. With the rest of Lacuna Coil's lineup in place -- courtesy of Andrea Ferro (vocals), Cristiano Migliore (guitars), Marco Coti Zelati (bass), and Christiano Mozzati (drums) -- the band's first full-length, In a Reverie, was issued in 1999. The Halflife EP appeared in 2000, and their next LP, Unleashed Memories, followed in spring 2001.
The group's third album, Comalies, was highly praised by the metal world after its release in October 2002, and attention surrounding Lacuna Coil continued to grow as they spent time on the road with Type O Negative, P.O.D., Opeth, and Danzig, among others. "Heaven's a Lie" was also a U.S. commercial radio success as the album's first single, followed by the equally popular "Swamped." The band accepted an invitation to appear at 2004's Ozzfest, and spent the next year playing at many European festivals. Karmacode surfaced in April 2006. ~ Mike DaRonco, All Music Guide

anyway... I just burned my friend a copy of one of LC's albums. I think she's very happy with it.
but I'm still the only one of my friends that loves gothic metal. :'( |

Science is NOT faith based. IF you call VERY limited trust in the laws of science faith, then you have brain problems
|
||
dear God, too many things to study... @.@
|
||
starting a religion... sure you make loads of money, but you ain't gonna last long! XD
|
||
The best part about Scientology is that L. Ron Hubbard said, like a year before he came up with it, that the way to make a million dollars was to start your own religion.
|
||
Scientology. . . . how many freaking "-ology"s are there in science? aren't half of them kind of crazy or... um... retarded and pointless?
|
||
LAWL. Scientology. France convicted them of fraud, you know. I must say, it's the first awesome thing that France has done that I'm aware of in my lifetime.

The questions weren't simply "why" and "how" science does strive to answer versions of these. There will always be why is it and how did it come to be that way for creation, creation of whoever created it, etc. Science merely tries to explain why and how everything already in existence behaves in relation to each other. I'm not sure, but the religion of Scientology may be what tries to answer your questions LLM. Religion tries to answer intangible questions, science tries to answer the tangible.
|
||
@LLM: It depends on the type of of "why" and "how" you're asking. To use a Stratovarius song as a question, something like "Why are we here?" isn't a question that science will EVER be able to answer. "How did we get here?" is another one that science is kind of struggling with.
|
||
science and religion try to answer those questions. science is the mathematical path while religion is more of the creative thinking.
it might be fun to thinking until your brain will explode, but in the end, we can't find all the answers to the hows and whys. (it would be interesting that once we know all of those answers, we're dead before we can write it down or tell someone.) |
||
Math is the great language that explains how all these phenomenons work together in harmony.
Plague is correct however, no amount of science, physics, laws or theories will be able to answer the greatest questions ... why is it? how did it come to be that way? |
||
There is such a thing as theory, and such a thing as natural laws. What you refer to as "faith science" is theory (such as the theory of relativity). When theories are proven, they become natural laws of physics. If you have a strong enough microscope, you can count moles, molecules, electrons, what have you. If you have a strong enough telescope, you can watch a body of matter get pulled into a black hole. We need tools for these things because our physical shortcomings limit us.
|
||
Good point, Yoho. It's important to differentiat e between the mathematical and testable elements of science vs. the baggage that's labeled as science. That being said, I tend to agree with the math, but not the baggage and theory.
|
||
Very true, Yoho. Though my physics teacher does mostly real science.
|
||
@LLM: Ha ha, your comment just reminded me of one of my favorite parts of The Hudsucker Proxy, when the German scientist is explaining how the hula hoop works using centripetal force (which keeps you from flying out into space and dying like miserable swine).
Pure science deals only with what we can directly observe and can therefore prove - apart from that you're firmly in the bounds of religion or philosophy. A great deal of what is taught as 'science' these days is nothing of the sort. |
||
@LLM: Precisely, it exists for a very specific reason. But science can't explain why that otherwise scenario you just put isn't the way it went instead.
...if that made any sense... |
||
Indeed. Good for you. As far who came up with gravity, it's been around forever. It exists because otherwise, we'd all fly off into space, burn up and die.
|
||
That last comment was exactly 500 characters, and it was a complete thought. I want you all to know that I'm very proud of myself for it.
XD |
||
@LLM: Like WHO decreed that gravity is just going to exist. WHY does gravity even exist?
I agree with Fangirl. Science is a useful tool, but if you're leaning only on it, you've only got part of the picture, and it's not going to make sense. I think religion (when I say religion, I mean Christianity , just to clear that up) can exist without science, but when it's joined with science it makes a lot more sense. I mean, why wouldn't God come up with the laws of physics to hold Creation together? |
||
argh.... the math side of science gives me a freaking headache. and most of the stuff with moles and atoms don't make much sense to me. in science, I seem to like what the outcome of a process is, not how to got from point A to B. :/
I think there must be a balance in both science and religion to find the answers. in my honest opinion, relying on only one will severely narrow your vision. |
||
Science is a religion. It's the faith that atheists hold to. Atheists hold that science is the driving force behind existence. Personally, I think that science is a good tool to help explain why some things work the way that they do, but science is not going to answer the difficult questions.
|
||
@OMW: Can you physically count a mol or the number of things in a mol? No! That's faith. Can you prove that the earth revolves around the sun? Faith.
By the way, faith is another word for religion. Science should allow you to ask questions and think, especially physics! As far as calc. goes, YUCK! Nothing past Alg. II, thanks very much! |
||
I'm generally good with "faith-based " stuff since that gives you room to think and question. science is the complete opposite. I'd want to take Biology again; all the stuff I learned about like covalent bonds make more sense now compared to last year. still, science is interesting, but it's my toughest subject.
architecture ? wow. I will probably kill myself in attempting to create something in that field. |
||
@Morgaine: Biology??!!! Ick, poo, hack. I like the genetics portion, but other than that I was lost the entire semester. Before the final, I was mathematical l y eliminated from an A. If I aced the final, I would barely get a B in the class. Apparently the curve gods were gracious however, as I ended up with an A!
|
||
Lol, physics and chemistry are not faith based classes. There are tons of experiments one can carry out to see the results. Physics is a concept class, but those concepts are based on natural laws (of physics), laws like gravity, magnetism, electricity, potential/ki n e t i c energy, etc. I have a love for both. Calculus is my third XD.
|
||
@Plague: majoring in architecture ? ouch!
|
||
Also to those considering college: If you want to avoid math as much as possible, but be guaranteed to have sleepless nights and no life (social or otherwise), make sure to major in architecture ! XD
Physics is more like general guidelines than rules or laws...grant e d , it's nice to have those general guidelines when you want to know how thick the glass needs to be if you want to suspend a 4,000 square ft. pool with an aquarium bottom 13 ft. overhead. |
||
Hopefully, I can manage to graduate in a year or two. It would be one year for sure if I hadn't transferred. To those of you considering college: NEVER transfer out of a college unless it's a community college, and you're pursing an Associate's degree. Trust me. I lost tons of credits by doing that.
|
||
Chem does suck. I prefer biology.
I'm going back to college this January, myself. Yea! I've been going at this since 2001, and have taken so much time off. Not to mention, the bad semesters I had thanks to my ex. |
||
Yeah. The thing about chemistry and physics is that you can't actually see most of the stuff you learn. That's why they call it faith-based learning.
