Not just Maneskin. There is another Italian rock group that abroad – and not from now – gets consensus. These are the Milanese Glacuna Coil, to whom Hammer, the largest world metal webzine, dedicates an in -depth analysis with the ranking of their ten best albums. “From their debut in Milan in the mid -90s – recalls the magazine in the introduction – the coil gaps have become real icons of the Gothic Metal. Their incisive riffs, the irresistible refrains and, of course, the interaction between the two leaders. Cristina Scabbia and Andrea Ferro gave life to ten albums full of dark and elegant melodies “.

Last February, “Sleepless Empire”, tenth album of the Italian Metal Band, was released. To anticipate it, the singles “Gravity”, “Never Dawn”, “Hosting the Shadow” (with Randy Blythe of the Lamb of God), “In the Meantime” (with Ash Costello of the New Years Day) and “Oxygen”. “Gravity” touches themes such as the inevitability of fate and the continuous and low continuous life, launching a message of resilience.
“It is not easy to maintain stability in such difficult times, we feel lost and also struggle to breathe while shouting to ask for help – write Cristina Scabbia and companions in a note – How should we face these moments? We should seek help or rather isolate ourselves from the world to collect the pieces in our golden and misanthropic cage? We hope that 'Gravity' you like it as much as we will make you think about it and take advantage of it to the maximum “.
“Gravity” is also accompanied by a video with dark shades directed by Martina L Mc.lean. Watch the “Gravity” video below.
