Moving and powerful, mysterious and serpentine, too brawny to be gothic, yet too melodic to be purely metal, Lacuna Coil has carved a path all its own with their unique sound and undeniable songwriting prowess. With the appropriately-titled 'Dark Adrenaline,' the Italian sextet's sixth full-length release, they once again deliver a dozen songs tinged with sadness, honed in anger and wielded with a deft touch and tough punch. Including a Coil-ized version of R.E.M.'s "Losing My Religion," 'Dark Adrenaline' sees the band teaming up once again with mega-producer Don Gilmore (Linkin Park, Duran Duran and Avril Lavigne).
