Produced by bassist Marco Coti Zelati, the project marks the Italian outfit's first studio effort since splitting amicably with longtime guitarist Marco Biazzi in January.

The group have recruited Black Lodge guitarist Daniel Sahagun to fill Biazzi's role on a temporary basis. Vocalist Cristina Scabbia says: "Everything feels different this time in the Lacuna Coil camp. It's something I can hear and something I can breath. A new wave of confidence, a renewed essence and pure drops of energy sweating out of our pores.
