Italian gothic metal outfit Lacuna Coil will continue celebrating their tenth record, Sleepless Empire, released earlier this year, by embarking on a 2026 spring US tour. Dubbed Sleepless Empire US tour, it is set to kick off in March 2026 with special guests Escape The Fate, and additional support from Vowws (March 24 – April 13) and Axty (April 15 – April 29). Tickets go on sale this Friday (19th) at 10:00 AM local time via this location. To celebrate the upcoming tour, Lacuna Coil has unveiled a video for “Hosting the Shadow,” which showcases their performance at the Aftershock festival in October, being joined by Lamb of God’s Randy Blythe, who is featured on the album track.
Lacuna Coil vocalist Cristina Scabbia comments:
“Filming the video for ‘Hosting The Shadow’ at Aftershock, sharing the stage with my family in Lacuna Coil and with Randy Blythe was a truly cathartic experience. Randy is not only an incredible, professional musician, he’s also a precious friend and has added so much to our song. I think the video shows clearly the level of emotion and joy we shared both off and onstage. I used that positive energy to give it my all even though I was performing with a fever! Please enjoy the video, I truly hope you like it!”
