[[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.''
