[[File:Lacuna_Coil.jpg|frame]]
[[Lacuna Coil]] are a [[Gothic Metal]]/[[Alternative Rock]] band from Italy, starting in 1994. The band is one of the [[Trope Codifier|codifiers]] of the [[Soprano and Gravel]] style and blends modern rock and Mediterranean elements into distinct-sounding midtempo rockers. They were formed by vocalist Andrea Ferro and bassist Marco Coti Zelati, and second vocalist Cristina Scabbia joined the band after she was asked to provide session vocals for an early demo, because the band liked the contrasting sound of Cristina's vocals versus Andrea's. The word "lacuna" is Italian for "gap" or "blank," but the band's name is sometimes paraphrased as "Empty Spiral," which also functions as the name of [https://web.archive.org/web/20120116045843/http://www.emptyspiral.net/index.php their official fansite].
Lacuna Coil recorded a two-track demo in 1996 and signed to Century Media Records, and are still on the same label today. Their self-titled EP was released in 1998, but shortly after the band's original guitarists and drummer— Raffaele Zagaria, Claudio Leo and Leonardo Forti respectively— left due to creative differences. Drummer Cristiano "CriZ" Mozzati and guitarist Cristiano Migliore joined just in time to record ''In A Reverie,'' the band's full-length debut, and second guitarist Marco "Maus" Biazzi joined for ''HALFlife.''

{{creatortropes}}
* [[Berserk Button]] - Do '''not''' misspell Cristina's name. Her Twitter handle is even called "NoDamnH".
* [[Bilingual Bonus]] - "Senzafine" (from ''HALFlife'' and later ''Unleashed Memories'') is sung in the band's native Italian, as are the title track to ''Comalies'' and "Without Fear" from ''Karmacode''.
Line 52:
** Also the cover to ''Karmacode''
* [[Fading Into the Next Song]] - "Trance Awake"/"Senzafine" from ''HALFlife,'' "Aeon"/"Tight Rope" from ''Comalies'' and "You Create"/"What I See" from ''Karmacode.''
* [[Finger
* [[For Doom the Bell Tolls]] - A repeated church bell can be heard in the background in "Trip The Darkness."
* [[Gothic Metal]] / [[Alternative Rock]] - How much of each depends on the album. ''Shallow Life'' contains the most of the latter; their extended plays and ''In A Reverie'', the most of the former.
* [[Harsh Vocals]] - Andrea, on two or three songs from each of the early albums.
* [[In Memoriam]] - "My Spirit," the final track on ''Dark Adrenaline'', is dedicated to [[Type O Negative
* [[Long Runner Lineup]] - Type 2. The lineup has not changed since Maus joined as second guitarist in 1999.
* [[Mohs Scale of Rock and Metal Hardness]] - Most of the time, either a hard 6 or a soft 7. They go down to a 5 more than occasionally, though.
* [[Name's the Same]] - "Closer" is not a [[Nine Inch Nails]] cover nor is "[[The Game]]" a [[
* [[New Sound Album]] - ''Comalies''. The sound was simplified, and Ferro's harsh vocals were almost completely gone.
** Then ''Karmacode'' came along, with a guitar- and bass-heavier mix, Middle Eastern influences and a greater emphasis on every member of the band. Andrea even appears in every song, and has dropped the growls entirely.
Line 70:
* [[Sampling]] - "Tight Rope" takes a sound bite from the video game ''[[Descent]],'' and "Angel's Punishment" seems to sample a news report.
* [[Soprano and Gravel]] - Played with. The first three albums had Ferro utilizing both clean and harsh vocals along with Scabbia's singing. The harsh vocals were dropped in ''Karmacode''.
* [[Spell My Name
* [[Surprisingly Good English]] - ''Shallow Life'' and ''Dark Adrenaline'' in particular. Cristina and Andrea have become much more fluent since the initial demo in 1996.
* [[Vocal Tag Team]]: Cristina Scabbia and Andrea Ferro
