The Emptyspiral.net podcast, hosted by the fan site dedicated to Lacuna Coil, is a unique platform for fans of the band, featuring news, discussions, and special interviews. Recently, I had the incredible opportunity to appear as a guest on the show’s 167th episode, where I shared what it means to me to be a fan of such an amazing band.
During the discussion, I talked about how I first discovered Lacuna Coil’s music and the profound impact their art has had on me. Their musical world has not only been a source of inspiration but has also fostered a sense of belonging to a community, something that Emptyspiral.net continues to strengthen.
I’m deeply grateful that I also had the chance to talk about my own musical journey. I introduced my solo project, Darkwave, which creates instrumental progressive thrash metal. We explored the history of Darkwave, from its beginnings to my most recent album, “Thanatology“, which was released in 2024 in a special remastered CD format. Towards the end of the conversation, I also gave a brief teaser about my upcoming material, which will feature vocals for the first time.
In the final part of the podcast, all four of us shared our thoughts on the title track of the 2022 Lacuna Coil release entitled Comalies XX, which led to some fascinating insights.
This interview was a truly special experience for me, offering the chance to express what Lacuna Coil’s music means to me. Having the opportunity to discuss Darkwave at the same time was a tremendous honor, and I’m incredibly thankful to Matt, David, and Mike, the podcast hosts, for making it possible.
