Lacuna Coil is my favorite band at the moment. Comalies is their best album, just got Karmacode on Saturday (direct from Century Media, they sent it out early), still forming opinions on it, definately better than Unleashed Memories, not sure if it tops Comalies yet. Get the 2CD comalies set if it is still available, the acoustic tracks on the 2nd CD are really good. I just buy everything direct from Century Media, it is usually cheaper/same price, very fast shipping and they throw in sampler CDs for their other bands.
The writing on the older CDs is a little bit sketchy, they wrote/write everything in Italian then translate to English (not sure if they still do this), some of the lyrics on the first CD are kind of clunky sounding. Much better on their later CDs.
Check out the fansite
www.emptyspiral.net for more info than you could possibly want. They are doing a tour/instores right now in the US (try to attend the instores if you just want to check them out, they are VERY good acoustic). The schedule is on emptyspiral.
They are nothing like Nightwish, no idea why people compare them, they have female lead vocals, that is the only similarity really. Evanescence is probably the most similar, but
I dislike comparing them to that since LC has been around much longer.
