If you don’t think it’s worth making full length albums anymore, Andrea Ferro would have to disagree with you.
In a recent interview with V13 Media, Andrea Ferro of Lacuna Coil was asked if the band was beginning to think about focusing on singles more than a full length album.
Ferro answered:
“I think the rock music and metal in particular is one of the few genres where it still is important to release an album. But it’s the only one probably, because I don’t see that for trap music or stuff like that. But we still even sell quite a lot of physical products, between the vinyls and the digipack, the special edition mostly. Obviously not so much the jewelcase, but the other more complete versions are still very researched by the fans. So it’s still worth it for sure.”
He also stated:
“I think it’s still important for us to work a certain number of songs. It doesn’t have to be exactly one album. So it could be also five or six songs–maybe not necessarily 12 or 10–but for us, the more we songwrite, the more it gets better for us.”
Lacuna Coil will be releasing their tenth studio album, “Sleepless Empire”, on February 14th via Century Media Records. Their new album will feature the singles “Hosting The Shadow” featuring Lamb Of God’s Randy Blythe, as well as the single “In The Meantime” featuring Ash Costello from New Years Day.
