The announcement comes with a corresponding new official video for “Hosting the Shadow”, that shows Lacuna Coil in full force during their set at Aftershock festival in October 2025. Joining them on stage is Lamb Of God front-man Randy Blythe, who is featured on the album track.

“Filming the video for ‘Hosting The Shadow’ at Aftershock, sharing the stage with my family in Lacuna Coil and with Randy Blythe was a truly cathartic experience. Randy is not only an incredible, professional musician, he’s also a precious friend and has added so much to our song. I think the video shows clearly the level of emotion and joy we shared both off and onstage – I used that positive energy to give it my all even though I was performing with a fever, ha ha! Please enjoy the video, I truly hope you like it!” – Cristina Scabbia

The track stands out as one of the most powerful moments on Sleepless Empire, and the video captures the raw energy and uncompromising presence of the band on stage.

Sleepless Empire marks the 10th studio album of Lacuna Coil, and it was released on Friday, February 14th, 2025 via Century Media Records. It is the first long player release after Comalies XX – which came out in 2022. The new album is comprised of 11 new tracks, and each one is a richly textured soundtrack to a specific time and a 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.
