Gothic metal band Lacuna Coil has shared a new live video featuring their performance of "Hosting The Shadow" at the UK's Bloodstock Open Air festival in August 2025.

The pro-shot footage captures one of the standout moments from the Sleepless Empire Tour 2026 with Escape The Fate, Vowws, and AXTY.

The song is featured on Lacuna Coil's album 'Sleepless Empire', which they are currently supporting with their tour.

The album marks a new era for the band, formed in Milan, Italy in 1994.

Known for their signature dual vocal style combining Cristina Scabbia's melodic vocals with Andrea Ferro's aggressive delivery, the band have built a global following across decades.

Lacuna Coil released the official video for "Hosting The Shadow", featuring Lamb Of God's Randy Blythe, in December 2025.

The track is part of their album 'Sleepless Empire', which was also accompanied by an instrumental piece titled "Transylvanian Requiem" that showcases Joe Stump's guitar wizardry.

A new album by Alcatrazz, PRIOR CONVICTIONS, has been released via BraveWords Records.

This album bridges the band's past and future with two brand new songs, "Transylvanian Requiem" and "Stand and Wait Your Turn", which raise expectations for their next studio album of new material.
