I used to do PR for Century Media Records back in 05-08. I’ve met Lacuna Coil several times, hung out on their tour bus and had several drinks with them and no matter how big they grew, they always stayed so consistent in their humility and willingness to be so open with fans. They are one of the hardest working bands in the industry and only improved with time. I was at this concert and it was fantastic. It’s so nice to see you covering them finally and recognising just how talented they are.

So if he does have scarring in his vocal cords, he's somehow also able to sing without distortion when he chooses to. "To Live Is To Hide" is perhaps within my top-3 favorite songs from Lacuna Coil.

The first time I heard this song was in 2004 as a 14 year old teenager, it was part of the Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines videogame soundtrack. Great old RPG, and the song fit perfectly. Catchy and memorable, but not in a pop-way, if you know what I mean. I didn't know English language back then and could not understand the meaning, and the mood that it created was... smiling-sad, but optimistic. Haven't heard this song in years. But this particular performance, accompanied by your emotional reaction, brought goosebumps and tears to me. I have this response when I'm dealing with some exceptionally beautiful and powerful art.

SHE is a ROCK GODDESS and ages like a fine wine. Lacuna Coil have been an amazing underrated band for years. I saw them in Albany NY this past April and I can tell you they are as good live as they are on record!

Lacuna Coil and Christina introduced me to melodic metal, this lead me down a slippery slope to Nightwish, Within Temptation, Kamelot and Epica. Thanks Elizabeth for covering Swamped, this was the song that started my whole journey.

Our Truth, Closer and Heaven's A Lie are some of my favorites. Their covers of Losing My Religion and Enjoy the Silence are great as well. You just can't go wrong with Lacuna Coil🖤🖤

~~Heaven's A Lie~> was the first Lacuna Coil song that blessed my ears way, way back in the day. The power behind the dueted main course was enough to have it etched on my brain since that time. That incredible delivery still has me reeling from its intensity. For all of their songs, ~Lie~ has the best musical complement to Cristina's voice. It's got a sad, mad power that's both haunting and in your face. "Set me free, your heaven's a lie~".

Wholeheartedly agree with each of your recommended tracks. If you haven't heard their "Halflife" track, from an early EP of the same name, it's excellent too, with her beautiful soothing vocals, dueling with Andrea's rapid-fire harsh vocals. It's a raw, less-produced, EP. And excellent. "Hyperfast" and "Stars", also on the same EP, are excellent as well.

This was SOOOO good to finally see you enjoy Cristina and Andrea and the fabulous creative power around them: 4:16-4:48 the ALCHEMY of these two voices dawns..... 6:30 the arpeggio.... 7:27 She'll be "obsessed"... 8:14 The first yodel.... 9:40 *earns a set of eye brow raises* 11:26 a ritual? 11:48 "pure note" enjoyment Looking forward to more!

To me Cristina kind of paved the way for woman in rock/metal. She’s a beast and the first woman on the Ozzfest tour I believe.

Yes! So happy to see Lacuna Coil finally featured on The Charismatic Voice! Cristina is such an amazing talent and Andrea's vocals pair with hers so well. She has had raw talent from the very beginning, but with every new album release it is as if she levels up every single time. Andrea deserves credit as well, as his sound and range has evolved to be pretty impressive over time. So many great songs you could feature from them with their extensive catalog of music. If you are obsessed with her voice, a deeper cut that you would love is "Hostage to the Light". It is Cristina only, and her singing on that track will stir up emotions every single time you listen to it. I am definitely looking forward to seeing more Lacuna Coil featured on your channel in the future.

Christina Scabbia, finally! Her and Floor were my intros to metal like 20yrs ago. I was new to metal and basically did a esarch on KaZaa (remember that?) for "Gothic Metal" and the 2 first songs I ended up with were My Wings by Lacuna Coil and Leaden Legacy by After Forever, 2 great songs.

Been listening to Lacuna Coil since this album originally came out in ‘02, the year I graduated high school, lol. They’re my absolute favorite band to see live (5 times so far) because they are so, so tight, and she’s got this amazing etheric voice that is haunting and beautiful simultaneously. I’ll never not love anything this band has done.

I love that you reacted to this. Super under-rated band. They're amazing live and on record and not enough people appreciate how talented they are.

Lacuna Coil, and this song specifically was one of the catalysts that got me into metal back in my early teen years... around about when this came out. Lacuna Coil, Nightwish, Evanescence and Epica among others dragged me in with their Siren songs. This song still gives me chills 20 years later. Love it.

YESSSS! I never thought you'd cover Lacuna Coil. I love that band. I used to import their CDs into the States when they first got signed to Century Media. Lacuna opened for Type O Negative in 2003 and I got to hang out with Cristina after their set. She was sooo nice and genuinely amazed that a crowd in Columbus, Ohio was singing along! She didn't realize they had a big fan base here despite the band not touring in the US.

Until today I had no idea that they exist and I have no idea how it happened, Cristina's voice made my jaw drop to the middle of the earth.

She is amazing, one of the best vocalists of all-time. Trust me, check out their body of work, you're going to not only be hooked, you're going to become obsessed.

"I instantly...REALLY like her voice." - Elizabeth, and every other person hearing Queen Scabbia for the first time 😁

This is what I've been waiting for !!!! Cristina is my favorite female singer. Delirium has some of her craziest singing and you can check that out live. But once you hear Cristina's voice you can't help but to fall under her spell and be in love with her. Her voice is pure magic

Oh My! So glad you did this... she is amazing! My fave is "Heaven's a Lie".

I've followed Cristina on Facebook and Twitch for a few years now, and she's definitely "chill AF" as the kids say these days 😎 relaxes in comfy sweats, has enjoyed gaming most of her life, shares her struggles and successes with personal fitness... but DAMN when she takes the stage, does the world stop and listen as she takes control! Absolutely elated that you've discovered a love for her sound, and looking forward to seeing you experience more of this god-tier group!

Cristina is amazing , worth an analysis a special duet rendition of Alter Bridge's "Watch Over You" hers and Myles' voices are magic together . On a personal note I also had the good fortune of meeting her after a concert and like many have stated already she is an absolute total sweetheart. I believe it's impossible to meet her and not love her.

I love Lacuna Coil! I’ve always heard Arabic undertones to her vocals. You may hear that in, “Our Truth.”

Please tell me you have a teatime with Cristina Scabbia scheduled for some point, currently they're touring in Australia (I think still) but Cristina is on twitch quite a bit

Now youre digging in, lady. Cristina is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. I've been backstage with the whole band while my friend interviewed them, and they are just incredibly lovely humans. Her voice is beautiful. And yes, "Our Truth" is amazing.

So glad you are finally hitting Lacuna Coil! This is the first of their songs I heard and the rabbit hole swallowed me. Saw them live in a small venue and they were amazing! This band is criminally under-appreciated!

Aye, for me it was "Heaven's a Lie", which I ended up buying Comalies because of it. I ended up listening to "Swamped" and I got hooked from go. I stupidly traded it in years ago, but I got it back along with Comalies XX on both vinyl and CD. I'm so glad to have this back in my collection. I missed it and I love this band.

It’s incredible how her voice has stayed this good for all this time, great band.

Same here.

This song in particular never gets old for me, first heard the song many years ago and it's the first song I ever heard from the band. They are very unique as is her voice, style and sound. I get goose bumps every time❤

I am so excited to finally see Lacuna Coil featured on the channel! I remember making a post recommending them in the comments a while ago, because I just knew you'd love them too.

Cristina has one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard. I could listen to her sing all day.

I started listening to Lacuna Coil 20 years ago, with the Comalies album. They are one of about 5 or 6 bands that I listen to on a regular basis and Christina Scabbia's voice still gives me chills.

No damn H. ^^

Christina has such a stunning voice. She is definitely among the best contemporary singers out there. You should check out Heaven's a Lie. Plenty of live performances to pick from.

You said the magic word when it comes to Lacuna Coil: consistency. All the vocals have been consistently good for the 20 or so years I've listened to the band. Their sound has changed over the years but it is consistently solid music. Amazing artists.

I've seen a lot of bands and seeing my fav band LACUNA COIL, I have to say that Cristina's voice sounds fucking amazing and the quality of her voice is even much better than the albums, it's impressive! I love so much this band! Thanks Elizabeth for bringing this amazing band here!

Holy shit! For some reason I've never heard of this band but wow, what a great sound, I'll be digging into their back catalogue for sure. Incredible.

It's pronounced Coma-Lies. They just re recorded Comalies with the current lineup and the title is Comalies XX. Each track has new vocals and Swamped is now Swamped XX. This release celebrates the 20 year release date. Thanks to all the Coilers who recommended this. We are all the Black Anima. 🖤🤘 Check out Layers of Time or the new version Swamped XX. And Naughty Christmas. And one final note-her stage makeup of two red scars over her eye has meaning. You should ask her.

"Layers of Time" is great, especially the chorus. Lacuna Coil - "Veneficium" is a banger as well, super heavy, and with the chorus in Latin if I recall correctly.

❤️ I'm sure that you here this a billion times, but it bares repeating. Your reactions from start to finish ,are so damn amazing and intriguing. The way your able to break down 🎶 music is just simply, so thought provoking. It's obvious that your a gifted artist! Thank you!

I absolutely love this reaction, similar to the first time i watched swamped live at Waacken . I was blown away by Cristina's beautiful angelic voice complemented by Andrea's harsh raspiness. Check out "Our Truth" also "Heaven's a lie". Please do some more Lacuna coil?!

Lacuna Coil are such a legendary band, I knew about them thanks to this song back in 2005, which is an hymn imo. Cristina is a fantastic singer and Andrea is amazing as well. And yes, Blood, Tears, Dust is omg a treat to listen to❤

Yesss! Christina's voice is so pleasantly haunting and I've been a fan since "Our Truth". Gothic groove metal at its finest!

Aww yay, been a Lacuna Coil fan since about 2001ish and seen em live many times 🧡 had the luck to converse with Cristina for a bit a few years ago and make her a custom handbag and give it to her personally after the show. Not only is she amazing at what she does but she's a super nice person (and a great hugger!) So so pleased to see Lacuna Coil reacted to :)

She really is! I met them at a show (the one where Andrea wasn’t at because he’d broke his collarbone that day) and all of them were super nice! But esp Cristina…just love her!

I had the chance to meet them twice. They're not only so talented but they're all so sweet, like really really sweet and carrying people, especially Andrea and Ryan. Both times they take time to hang with me and my friends (and it wasn't a paid meet and greet, just a casual meeting in the street.) The first time they spend around 20 minutes chatting. They're the best. They're between my favourite artists I've personally met - Marco from Nightwish is another (Floor, Kai, Troy and Tuomas are good too; Tuomas gave 2 high fives 🤣I think he was high that day (?)); Epica all are sweet, especially Mark, he chatted for a bit after the m&g and asked me if I was ok because I looked tired (I didn't sleep that day due to work) and gave me a hug. Within Temptation is another band that is so amazing and sweet with fans, they also took their time to talk to my friends and I Last but not least, Tilo Wolff from Lacrimosa, he's very kind too.

Their cover of Enjoy the Silence is amazing, too!! One of my favourite female voices in rock, for sure

Lacuna Coil - "Virtual Environment", on the "Enjoy the Silence" single, is also SO beautiful to listen to. If you haven't checked it out, I very highly recommend it! Very unique, orchestral-like playing on that one too.

I can't say that I love every single Lacuna Coil song, but the ones that I do enjoy, I absolutely love and obsess over. Also, Cristina has the most amazing voice, personality and is simply one of the best humans on earth. EDIT: PS Do more Lacuna Coil! :-D

I have a collection of around 2,800 songs i listen through. Of those, comprise of well over 800 different bamds or artists. Of those at the very most is a handful i could listen to every song. Its very rare that a band or artist can make such good music always to listen to. But rather majority you pick and choose the songs you do like and add them to the collection. If someone saud they liked everything i would call them a liar. Cause in reality, most songs aren't very good at all.

Veneficium!!! It’s their best song and her best vocals by far!
