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

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.

@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.
|
||
I don't think I have to take chemistry again...alth o u g h there might be the possibility. . . I ' m hoping to put off some of the more difficult GEs until after I've completed my architecture courses so I'll have more time to be studious in them.

Zombieland was hilarious, while the highlight of my Halloween celebrations involve laughing at a guy wearing a home-made "Hanna Montana V2.0" costume - basically he looked like a robot wearing a dress and blonde wig, with a big stylized nameplate and microphone.
I'm dreading sitting through class tonight because I REALLY want to go home and play Dragon Age, but 50% of this class grade comes from participatio n so I'm stuck here until 9PM, blargh. |
||
well, maybe the class wouldn't be so bad if my teacher wasn't extremely "out there"... all the concepts make no sense (like, wtf is a "mole"????)
I think the only thing I learned was how to avoid contaminatio n in the lab... |
||
@Fangirl: What do you find hard about chem.? Personally, I love chemistry. If you need help with it, feel free to ask.
|
||
sounds like you had fun, Black Swan! I envy you, lol!
|
||
that class must suck, Plague.
two classes i have suck: World History and Chemisty. History class and the teacher are lame jokes. Chemistry is just too hard... |
||
@Morgraine/B l a c k Swan: College. The class only sucks when the midterm rolls around. The rest of the time it's just meh. Kind of boring, but not excruciating .
|
||
@Plague:Soun d s like that class sucks! Are you in college, or high school? Just curious.
|
||
@Faingirl: I hate that your Halloween sucked so much. Mine was just meh. The only exciting thing I did was get my oil changed,and talked to a former co-worker. Later, I started a horror movie marathon when Halloween was technically over. I actually regret that I didn't do anything more than that, but my boyfriend was sick. Also, my friends and I who are planning the Masquerade and I met the next day to fine-tune our plans.
|
||
Harsh. Sorry your Halloween was such a bummer. Don't you hate it when it pours sideways!
|
||
on Halloween I should have gone with my three friends, but two were sick! :'( I went with the other one and then it rained about halfway through the trick-or-tre a t i n g . it was pouring sideways! O_o
but I got candy and the both of us played a few computer games until about 11:00pm. I had fun. ^_^ |
||
I stayed home and took part in a long sordid night of homework and studying, a most dissatisfact o r y affair. And on that note, I hope my architecture history class dies a slow painful death...
|
||
@Fangirl: My Halloween was amazing, I hung out with friends and we went trick-or treating for old times sake. Then we played Wii Sports after, it was hilarious. I went as a ninja. How was your Halloween and did you dress up and if so, as what?
|
||
@Black Swan: I saw Zombieland in the first few days it came out. My friend and I loved it! It was such a hilarious film because of the guy who kept wanting a Twinkie and Bill Murray as himself. LOL!
|
||
I went to a haunted hayride on the 30th. we got to see people dressed as Michael Myers, Freddy K, werewolves, zombies and more. last year, when we got to the zombies, there was this machine that shot huge bursts of fire into the sky. it was so bloody awesome. but this year, there was smoke and that's it... no fire... :'(
how was everyone else's Halloween? |
||
Uhh, do we really want to discuss politics on this page? Even if we all typically have similar points of view, we're not always going to agree on everything. So we can hope to avoid any flame wars, can we please change the subject?
I'll start:my boyfriend and I saw Zombieland two weeks ago, and we loved it! |
||
*sigh* there are worse things...
this is where the area is too cloudy for me and I don't have enough to back my opinion up... |
||
A socialist country is as good as its worst member.
|
||
These ethics are why America prospered. America did not prosper because the government controlled production and the distribution of wealth, it did not prosper on the wetbacks of illegal immigrants with government ran health care and it will not continue to prosper if President Obama can implement his plans to take from each according to their ability in order to give to each their need. FIGHT THE MACHINE!
|
||
King Obama's Socialist dream is a pernicious, destructive, and divisive economic, political, and social philosophy. It is the fuking state control of the production and distribution of wealth in accordance with the idea "from each his ability, to each his need." It is a cosseting philosophy alien to America's historic ethics of rugged individualis m , individualit y , self-relianc e , hard work, and reward for effort. Your King of walfare and lazy Obama...
|
||
thanks, guys! ^_^
Nessuno, I didn't understand half of what you said, but it sounded very disturbing. |
||
Good point Fangirl indeed. There is obviously need for regulation about how far businesses stretch their ruthlessness . OSHA is a good system to protect workers and anti-trust laws are good measures to protect everyone from inflated charges from monopolies. Keeping the marketplace competitive is key to insuring the economy can run itself.
