LACUNA COIL's Andrea Ferro: Life On The Road, NEW Album, AC MILAN & Marriage As A Touring Musician!

On April 17th, Italy's LACUNA COIL arrived at the Best Buy Theater in New York City to warm hundreds of ear buds for both SEVENDUST and COAL CHAMBER. Also on the bill were the great folks from STOLEN BABIES. While warming up a crowd is never easy, LC makes it look easy. For all of us who have seen them perform live, we know they take their job very seriously and this is evident from the moment they step on stage. Even though they were forced to perform without their bassist Marco Coti Zelati who has tendonitis, they got the job done!

Prior to his bands performance Andrea Ferro (the male voice of LACUNA COIL and the founder of the band) met with us backstage to chat about all things LC. During the interview, we talked about the band extensive three month tour and how he manages to keep his marriage healthy while on the road. We also talked about the dynamic between him and Cristina Scabbia (the bands female voice), and how this has on effect on the bands signature sound. He also offered us an update regarding the future of the band and of course we talked about Italian soccer! Without further due, here is our in-depth interview with Andrea Ferro.

Gil Sharone: STOLEN BABIES, Chi Cheng from DEFTONES, TDEP, PUSCIFER, Music Career & Technique!

Gil Sharone from the STOLEN BABIES is one of the top drummer in Heavy Music today. If you have had the chance to see him perform with his band STOLEN BABIES or with THE DILLINGER ESCAPE PLAN, or with PUSCIFER, or even with SUM 44, you know that Gil plays with a lot of heart. His precise technique is widely known and through the clinics that he oftens organizes, he has been able to pass the torch to young upcoming drummers.

STOLEN BABIES are currently on tour with SEVENDUST, COAL CHAMBER and LACUNA COIL, in what is by far one of the best tour packages of 2013.

Prior to his bands performance at the Best Buy Theater in New York City on April 17, Gil sat down with us to talk about this great tour and how STOLEN BABIES are catching a break following their hiatus. We also chatted with him about his musical career, jamming with his brother Rani, and about the recent passing of Chi Cheng from the DEFTONES (RIP). Without further due, here is our interview with Gil Sharone!

COAL CHAMBER To Join Forces With Their Former "Enemies" In SEVENDUST?

Late last year, SEVENDUST guitarist Cling Lowery announced that SEVENDUST were might be joining forces with COAL CHAMBER for a massive tour!

Well, according to Blabbermouth, COAL CHAMBER and SEVENDUST will be teaming up for a U.S. co-headlining tour this April. Thus far, only one date has been revealed: April 4 at the Diamond Ballroom in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

In 2003, the two bands engaged in a well-publicized feud and even SEVENDUST dedicated their single "Enemy" to COAL CHAMBER's very own Dez Farara. Morgan Rose from SEVENDUST told Tacoma, Washington's The News Tribune at the time about the war of words:

"It's been pretty humorous, actually, because, to be honest, [Dez is] not really someone who's important to society. So it's not like I'm talking about anyone that many people really know about." He continued: "COAL CHAMBER was a really popular band. Now they're not a band anymore, and my [then-]wife [bassist Rayna Foss] was probably the most popular member. The irony of this whole thing was I didn't want to give him any press. ... It was laid out on a press release that I kind of got tricked into. I wanted it to be a more universal song. A lot of people have people they don't like, that treat people that they care about with no respect. [My wife is] the reason I was mad at him in the first place. He treated her awful, while she was pregnant with my daughter inside of her. He was completely stressing her out and making her upset."

Stay tuned for more news about this touring package!


Don't forget that SEVENDUST will set out on a headlining tour with Lacuna Coil starting February 2, 2013 in Winston-Salem, NC at Ziggy’s. Tickets are on sale now! Fans should check their local ticket outlets for purchase info.

Cristina Scabbia Clears The Water Regarding Bands Lineup After NEW Video Awakens Rumors

Yesterday, Italy's LACUNA COIL unleashed a brand NEW music video for their song "End Of Time" (watch it HERE). The song is taken from the bands latest album 'Dark Adrenaline'. Following the release of the video started a rumor that the band is having internal problems. The rumor was awaken after the fans realized that "End Of Time" only features vocalists Cristina Scabbia and Andrea Ferro. Here is what Scabbia had to say about this rumor:

"It seems for some of you guys it's SO strange that we did one video with Andi and myself only...which I find it interesting, considering so many videos in the world where only the singers are involved (for time, space, storyboard, budget... millions of reasons you'll never know).

"Just want to reassure you everyone else in LC is still in the band and the 6 of us can be detached from each other sometimes :)))))"

LACUNA COIL is proud to announce that they will visit the US in early 2013 in their first tour of the New Year. The band will head out with SEVENDUST on a 17-date run throughout the month of February.
