Editorial Review:
Album Description: Italian six-piece Lacuna Coil are one of the hardest working & rapidly progressing gothic metal outfit of our times. Their dual-vocal approach featuring the heavenly voice of Cristina Scabbia juxtaposed with the harsh style of Andrea Ferro will appeal to fans of The Gathering, Theatre Of Tragedy & Nightwish. Unleashed Memories also includes last year's mini-CD, 'Halflife', as a bonus. Bonus tracks, 'Halflife', 'Trance Awake', 'Senzafine', 'Hyperfast', & 'Stars'. Century Media. 2001.

Italy's Lacuna Coil has made a name for themselves within the genre of metal over the past few years. This is mainly due to the fact that lead vocalist Cristina Scabbia is definitely one of the best looking vocalists in a metal band. Unfortunately for the band, they are mediocre and this release just does not turn heads and really show metal a special band in the making. Unleashed Memories was originally released in 2001 and also includes the Half-Life EP.
Unleashed Memories starts off very promising with a track titled Heir of a Dying Day. This song showed me that Lacuna Coil had a unique sound and I thought the album would rise after one phenomenal song. Little did I know that the album would be an utter disappointment, ... Read More:

Love this. Big fan of this band. Love the goth metal. Can't wait for something after Karmacode.

The "Italian Evanescence", it's somewhat of a let-down after the "In a Reverie" album, and other than "1.19", no song really reaches out and makes you say "I want that!". Nonetheless, all the right ingredients and a very competent, fine album that does nothing to dissuade me from the idea that this is my favorite band of all time. ("Senzafine" isn't in English.)

I am not an expert in music, but all I can say is that disc is beautiful, heavy, melodic, sophisticated hard rock music. It's hard to compare, but I can think of Korn "Untouchables" disc. Of course, Evanescence comes to mind, but Lacuna Coil is much more sophisticated musically. The voice of Cristina Scabbia is super powerful and smooth as the same time. This album compares with "Comalies" as their best. If you like heavy, emotional, metal music, but with a beautiful female voice as lead, you will like "Unleashed Memories." To me they are the best around now. Just for reference, I also like Disturbed, Korn, Tool, Offspring, Godsmack, and some Linkin Park--but the female voice makes Lacuna Coil a genre of their own.

The bands second full length album finds Lacuna Coil refining their sound a bit with Christina Scabbia's incredible vocals leading the way. I think this one is on a par with their debut disc. The songs are all strong although there is nothing that really blows me away. Some of the lyrics and ideas on this one are slightly overused and the band still keeps to a fairly rigid formula. The band do two tracks on this disc in their native Italian and both are really good songs. This is a solid 4 star release an overall I like it. I still wish the band would take a few more chances with their music, but this is another solid release from the band.
