Italian gothic metal titans Lacuna Coil have announced their new album Sleepless Empire will be released via Century Media Records on February 14th 2025. The new single 'Oxygen' will be premiering later on today. Pre-order the record here:
"Sleepless Empire captures, through our eyes, the chaos of a generation trapped in a digital world that never stops, where social media consumes identity and every day pushes us one step closer to becoming soulless zombies. We find ourselves in between, having witnessed a full analogic world and the modern one, confronting the evolution and searching for a true meaning of it all. Throughout every song, the journey is an undercurrent of rebellion, a desperate cry to reclaim oneself in an era that seems to have lost its sense of time and reality.
The new music video for 'Oxygen' will be released later today. Check it out below:
