В отличие от предыдущих живых выступлений, итальянцы, находясь под гнетом пандемии, придумали способ, чтобы их преданные фанаты смогли услышать и увидеть их на сцене, организовав специальную прямую трансляцию с их последним альбомом «Black Anima» в сентябре 2020 года.
2018 marks the 20th anniversary of LACUNA COIL’s debut. To celebrate this special year, the Italians played an exceptional show on January 19 in London at the O2 Forum Kentish Town. The unique, one-time event was filmed and recorded for “The 119 Show - Live In London”. Fans can look forward not only to a very special live performance that was accompanied by the UK circus group Incandescence, but also to a career spanning set including LACUNA COIL songs never played live before. The band comments: “What took place at the O2 Forum Kentish Town in London on the 19th of January 2018 was pure magic. It was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience for us as a band and as people.
История "Пустой Спирали" (именно так переводятся итальянское и английское слова "Lacuna" и "Coil" на русский язык) начинается в далеком 1994 году в итальянском городе Милан. Тогда группа еще называлась по-другому - Sleep Of Right. Основателями стали два друга - Марко Коти-Зелати (Marco Coti-Zelati) и Андреа Ферро (Andrea Ferro). Андреа стал вокалистом и басистом, а Марко - гитаристом. Довольно быстро к группе присоединился гитарист Раффаэле Загария (Raffaele Zagaria).

In a career that has spanned 20 years (and counting), Paradise Lost have sold a staggering two million albums worldwide. Their constant reinvention and brazen attitude to musical experimentation has always allowed them to maintain a constant relevance despite the myriad fads and short-lived scenes that have emerged over the last two decades. Indeed few bands that prove so very influential in their infancy maintain the quality of output that Paradise Lost have. They formed the basis of an entirely new genre, gothic metal. Even now, fifteen years later, the influence of Paradise Lost is clearly visible on most Gothic and Heavy Metal bands. Since then the band - named after John Milton's epic 1667 poem - have released a number of musical highlights and genre merging masterpieces.
