GOTHIC METAL

 This is the third album from the italian goth/doomsters and everyone thinks its make or break for them with Comalies.  Well as I listen, I realise I'm listening to a band that are destined to be legendary in their field.  People might think I'm over-reacting but all you have to do is listen to the first few tracks and see that, just like with 'unleashed memories', they've progressed enough to give you the same feeling of awe and joy that you got the first time you heard their debut, 'In a Reverie'.   One criticism I have had with Lacuna Coil in the past is that the male vocals by Andrea Ferro have been a bit unstable in places but he is in top form on songs like 'Daylight Dancer' making a big difference to the final result.  Highlights include 'Swamped', 'heavens a Lie' and 'Tight Rope'
