December 10, 2007

Italian metal band LACUNA COIL played the final show of its "Karmacode World Tour" on Saturday, December 1 at the Rolling Stone club in the group's hometown of Milan. The set lasted one hour and it was described as "amazing" by most people in attendance. Singers Cristina Scabbia and Andrea Ferro introduced each song with speeches in Italian, and announced that this was their final show for 2007.

The show was professionally filmed by the Italian music TV channel Rock TV, which will broadcast the footage at a later date.

Photos of the concert can be found at Musica Metal.

Fan-filmed video clips from the concert can be viewed below.

In a recent interview with Australia's The Metal Forge, LACUNA COIL singer Andrea Ferro was asked to comment on the perception from some longtime fans that the band has abandoned its roots on its latest CD, "Karmacode". "Every time you try to step a bit in a different direction you always have the old-school fans that don't approve and you have new people coming to you," he replied. "I think its normal for every band. We are the kind of band which try to change a little bit on every album, improve and move in to a different direction, so it's normal for us to receive these kinds of comments. It's just a natural thing, it's a spontaneous thing. For every band there is an evolution. If you play the same style album after album it can be more rewarding in a way for the old-school fans but it's just not the way we are. We've never been like that. It's a natural course for us to change album after album. . . It's not honest if we just keep doing the same album because we know a certain amount of people are going to buy it. It's just not honest for us because we're not the same people we were in 2001 when we wrote the previous album. It's normal that in 3-4 years you change, you experience different things. It's not like we are going to do a techno or hip-hop album, it's still going to be a rock/metal album but of course there's going some little different directions we are going to take because it's just the way we experience our life and we can't just live forever with the same sound or the same riffs. We try to evolve the music."
