The Italian metal greats take the plunge into darker, heavier sound on Delirium. Lacuna Coil have mastered dramatic, symphonic metal—with their thick riffs wafting with synths and Cristina Scabbia’s siren voice. Delirium drifts into metalcore territories with double-bass drum breakdowns and throat-shredding growls. Songs like “The House of Shame” and “Ghost in the Mist“ reflect this shift, while “You Love Me ‘Cause I Hate You” and “Claustrophobia” brings out a new animal in Scabbia.
