LACUNA COIL Return With New Single ‘In The Mean Time’ Featuring Ash Costello Of New Years Day

---

Goth metal icons LACUNA COIL are back in the spotlight following the resounding success of their previous release, ‘Never Dawn’, which garnered over 2 million streams. Now, they’re ready to captivate audiences once again with their latest single, ‘In The Mean Time’, featuring Ash Costello of New Years Day.

The title of the song serves as a poignant reflection of the tumultuous times we live in, both globally and personally for the band. Delving into the themes of societal unrest and personal struggles, ‘In The Mean Time’ offers a candid exploration of the challenges faced by individuals in today’s world.

Lead vocalist Cristina Scabbia shares insights into the song’s inspiration, stating, “‘In The Mean Time’ is a reflection on how much our society has generally ‘lost the plot.’ We are living in really mean times filled with unhappy people: lonely, anxious, depressed, destructive.”

“The pressure that crushes from the outside doesn’t allow us to see things with the right clarity. This song is like group therapy: not a lamentation, but acceptance that once broken, it’s hard to put oneself back together again. We need to take our minds off all the inescapable toxicity and find that there’s so much more to this life… and know that in the meantime, everything cannot be aligned.”

Adding depth to the track, Ash Costello of New Years Day lends her distinctive vocals, bringing a new dimension to the song. Costello expresses her excitement about collaborating with LACUNA COIL, remarking, “I am deeply honoured to join LACUNA COIL on tour for the first time, to have the incredible opportunity to lend my guest vocals to a new track and appear in the music video.”

“Working alongside the powerhouse vocalist Cristina has been a privilege, and I may be biased in saying that ‘In The Mean Time’ has quickly become my favourite by LACUNA COIL. Its message about embracing individuality and not conforming deeply resonates with me.”

Fans can experience the powerful synergy between LACUNA COIL and Ash Costello in the music video for ‘In The Mean Time’, which promises to be a visually stunning and emotionally resonant journey.
