Recording information: Recorded at Woodhouse Studios, Hagen, Germany. Representing a classic case of delayed fame, Italian goth-metal act Lacuna Coil broke into the American music consciousness via a much talked-about showing on the Ozzfest 2004 second stage, nearly two years after the release of their third album, COMALIES. Similar to its American counterparts Evanescence, this European sextet features the dual vocals of Cristina Scabbia and her male counterpart, Andrea Ferro. Despite the liberal amounts of keyboards added to the mix, guitarists Cristiano Migliore and Marco Biazzi more than hold their own, pumping choppy riffs into the 1980s-sounding "Self Deception" and the simmering opener "Swamped." What makes Lacuna Coil so unique in an often musically conservative genre is the band's ability to dabble with ethereal dynamics. Such is the case with the soaring title cut and equally potent "The Ghost Woman and the Hunter," both of which blend neo-classical riffing, swirling synth runs and a perfect juxtaposition of light and heavy vocal phrasing. To commemorate the group's Ozzfest 2004 stint, COMALIES was re-released with a bonus disc featuring nine cuts that include a mix of live and studio acoustic performances, along with videos for "Heaven's a Lie" and "Swamped." Professional Reviews CMJ (10/28/02, p.29) - "...COMALIES is symphonic rock that will appeal to even the most groove 'n rap-minded mall-metaler..."

This album is the fouth offering from Italian metal band, Lacuna Coil.
The songs are loud, anthemic, but still manage to maintain a uniquely exotic sheen, which is part of what makes this album a stand-out in my CD collection.

Apart from the grand sweeping orchestral arrangements coupled with crunching guitars, the music is also aided by the ethereal and powerful vocals of Cristina Scabbia, who's vocals adds an extra dramatic flair to this album.

This is an awesome album by the italian metal artist lacuna coil, swaped and heavens a lie are great singles and then their is Aeon and Angel punishment which shows the versatility of this band whioch is great because my girlfriend loves the softer stuff and i like the heavier stuff, so this labum is a great compromise

This is the first album of lacuna coils albums i heard and it great, this album includes the song swamped which featured on the resident evil apocolypse and the single heavens a lie, also great songs from the album are the ghost woman and the hunter and angels punishment, these guys are a great metal band who have been praised in countless metal mags
