Lacuna Coil: Gothic Metal Sex (or Love? - Ed)

Paraphroneo: Insane.
Genesis: ...
Sumphonia: Music.

Now that that's out of the way, I should like to say that Lacuna Coil's new album Karmacode kicks some serious seductive Alternative/Gothic/Metal axe.

But if it's all you ever hear from them, be warned (oh we're soooo scared - Ed) bugger off Ed, be advised, in that vacuum one might miss out on their big picture.

wot I love about this hybrid multiple-musical-genre band is the epic struggle between the dueling lead-vocalists.

Cristina Scabbia's Gothic mauve velvet-corset voice, seductive-as-all-bloody-Abaddon, like a knife sliding into the pleasure center of the brain (hypothalamus - Ed)., is challenged by Ferro's poundcake Heavy-Metal thrusting strut, and the result is ..well, you'd think buckets of cum would be flying everywhere after that wouldn't you?

but while it is sexually charged, I find a Lacuna Coil album is more like being on one long orgasm with Catherine Deneuve.

You don't actually cum, you just ride the crest of the wave for the entire album.

And the second time you listen to a Lacuna Coil CD, it gets even better. There's no annoying amateur foreplay with 45 minutes of a tongue stuck in your ear, instead you move straight into dripping orgasm mode from the minute the CD hits replay (or I do anyway).

Because of the way Lacuna Coil create a CD to be an encompassing experience, it's difficult to pick 1 song that represents them, and sometimes even difficult to pick favorites, as they're all part of an epic tapestry.

But if I had to pick Fave tracks off their CD's to highlight they'd be:

off new Karmacode CD: "Without Fear" "In Visible Light" "Devoted" "Our Truth" "Within Me" "Fragile" and "The Game".

off Unleashed Memories CD: "When a Dead Man Walks" "Distant Sun" "Cold Heritage" "Hyperfast" and "Stars"

off Comalies CD: "Angel's Punishment" "Heaven's A Lie" "Entwined" "The Ghost Woman and the Hunter" "Comalies" "Humane" "Unspoken" "Aeon" ..

Pretty well much the _entire_ "Comalies" CD lights up the entire left hand side of my head, same pleasure area that goes off whenever I get within a 10 foot radius of a femme wearing a plaid skirt, black leather boots und a cape.


AAAAAAAH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Well, that was cathartic.
