Italian gothic metal band Lacuna Coil has released a music video for the new song “Gravity”, which will be part of their tenth studio album “Sleepless Empire”. The release is scheduled for February 14, making it the band's first original material in five years, writes WomanEL.
The new track deeply touches on the theme of emotional struggle and finding balance in difficult times. In the commentary, the band members explained that “Gravity” is about the choices people make in moments of despair: do we reach out for help or isolate ourselves in our own world?
It’s incredibly difficult to maintain balance when we’re going through times of despair, feeling lost and suffocating when we ask for help. How do we cope with difficult times? Do we ask for help? Or do we isolate ourselves from everything to reminisce in our own misanthropic golden cage? — the musicians shared.
The album “Sleepless Empire” symbolically sums up two decades of Lacuna Coil’s creative journey, combining their signature sound with new experiments. The clip is already available on the band's official YouTube channel.
