Lacuna Coil - Karmacode

I've always considered follower janis! my resident metal expert. Lately though, she hasn't been dropping any sick metal tracks into my box. It's been more 90's stuff ie, Immature. Get back on the metal horse janny! Anyways, a super long time ago, I reviewed Lacuna Coil and their Shallow Life album. I mentioned back then that I liked the sound, but wasn't entirely sold on the band and needed to hear more. Well janis! was kind enough to tell me to listen to Shallow Life, then Karmacode then Comalies in that order. So here I am, on to number two. I mentioned last time how they have that gothic rock sound, very similar to a band like Evanescence. And let me tell you, I enjoy some Evanescence. Enjoy them quite a bit. So this should be a near home run for me. And it's getting close. I do like the feel of this album just a hair better than Shallow Life. I really don't know why either - just the way it sits with my start to finish. And I want to emphasize that I really love this lead singer. These guys are in the studios again to produce their sixth studio album. They say the next one will be "heavier, stronger and darker" than their previous releases. I'm not certain how that'll be received by the die hard Coilers, but we shall see. Their albums don't appear to chart, so they must have a solid live following or something. And I could see how they'd be solid in person. I like this, and I think you will too. It's 'metal' but a tolerable metal for the non-lover. High five!
