While 2025 has barely started, Italian metal legends Lacuna Coil are already going full force with the release of their newest single “Gravity”. This track, which comes with a striking music video, marks the 5th single from their upcoming record Sleepless Empire, which is set to be released February 14th via Century Media Records. Exploring themes of the inevitability of fate as well as the constant cycle of falling and rising, “Gravity” delivers an important message about resilience.

The band shares about the single: “Balance is so difficult to keep as we navigate through desperate times, feeling lost and gasping as we ask for help. How do we deal with tough times? Do we ask for a hand? Or do we isolate ourselves from everything else to recollect in our own misanthropic golden cage? I hope you will love ‘Gravity’ as much as we do and that it will make you reflect on the time we have left and how to use it wisely.”

Sleepless Empire marks the 10th studio album of Lacuna Coil and is the first full-length release after their remake album Comalies XX, which came out in 2022.
The band shares about Sleepless Empire: “‘Sleepless Empire’ captures, through our eyes, the chaos of a generation trapped in a digital world that never stops, where social media consumes identity and every day pushes us one step closer to becoming soulless zombies.
“We find ourselves in between, having witnessed a full analogic world and the modern one, confronting the evolution and searching for a true meaning of it all.
“Throughout every song, the journey is an undercurrent of rebellion, a desperate cry to reclaim oneself in an era that seems to have lost its sense of time and reality.”
The new album is comprised of 11 tracks; each one is a richly textured soundtrack to a specific time and place. With Sleepless Empire, that place is dark, cinematic, and unmistakably true to the unique characteristics that have given Lacuna Coil such a celebrated entry in the annals of heavy music.
