Italian Goth Metal band Lacuna Coil have revealed new single “Hosting The Shadow”. “Hosting The Shadow” includes a collaboration with Randy Blythe from the Lamb of God. The new track circles the idea of engaging with your own shadow-side in order to learn how to master it.

Lacuna Coil comments about the new single and collaboration with Randy Blythe:

Hosting The Shadow’ is a trip through light and dark, where silence reveals its hidden secrets. Obscure moments can become occasions to evolve, to learn to master one’s own shadow – which is crucial in order to prevail. Randy Blythe did an incredible job on this track, we absolutely adore his voice and his evil laugh! Our admiration for him is infinite and to have him as a guest on this song is a dream come true. Partnering with a friend you respect immensely, that also kicks ass on stages around the world: it doesn’t get any better than this. We’re looking forward to the day we can perform ‘Hosting The Shadow’ live together!

Randy Blythe adds:

I was super excited when Lacuna Coil asked me to sing on a song with them – not only am I a big fan of their music, they are truly beautiful souls who have been like family to me for 20 years now. We’ve played shows together all over the world, and I’ve always wanted to jump onstage and sing with them – I can’t wait until it actually happens with ‘Hosting the Shadow’!
