'''Lacuna Coil''' is and Italian band formed in 1996 and led by Cristina Scabbia and Andrea Ferro. This band is often mentioned, among a number of others, as sharing a similar sound with Evanescence; actually the band played Gothic Metal since the beginnings, turning to Alternative Metal/Rock with their most recent releases. Their first EP, ''"Lacuna Coil"'', was released in 1998.

Their most recent release came on April 17, 2009, with "Shallow Life". The album features the singles ''Spellbound'', ''I Like It'' and ''I Won't Tell You''.  
'''Lacuna Coil''' Lacuna Coil is a gothic metal band from Milan, Italy. Since their formation in 1994, the group has had two name changes, being previously known as Sleep of Right and Ethereal. Inspired by the combination of gothic imagery and music, the members have been known, musically, for composing mid-tempo songs consisting of prominent guitar lines and contrasting dual female/male vocal harmonies to help create a melodic, detached sound. Much of the band's recent material, however, sees a heavier and more down-tuned style, featuring a more distinct bass line and a higher mixing of the guitars within the songs. Cristina was rumored to be a member on EvBoard.
Ms. Scabbia is rumored to be a member on the Evboard.


This is what Cristina Scabbia had to say about Evanescence:
In an interview with MTV on August 26, 2004, Cristina said that she doesn't mind Lacuna Coil being compared to Evanescence;
{{quote|''They're a good band and people like them, so why should I be upset? It's funny, because in Europe we've been known for a while, so people say the opposite thing. They hear Evanescence and say, 'Oh, is this the new single from Lacuna Coil?'. It's strange to me that Americans are getting into [''Comalies''] two years after it came out. People are maybe like, 'Hey, they sound kind of like Evanescence, I like this.' And they don't know that the album is two years old. So, we have all this new material we've written on tour, but we would have to stop to record it, and we're never at home, we're always on tour.''<ref>http://www.mtv.com/news/1490596/lacuna-coil-evanescence-for-europeans/</ref>}}


{{quote|'''Interviewer:''' Last time I went on your website and on your forum, I saw terrible fights between your fans and Evanescence's. How do you manage this problem?<br>'''Cristina Scabbia:''' (Really laughing) I laugh about it! I think it's totally stupid. Sometimes people's life is so empty that they have to fill it with this bullshit. I mean, I don't want even think about it, to lose some minutes of my day to write stupid stuff. I think it's really funny to look at it because first of all, I don't see the reason. We belong to 2 different worlds; they are under a major, we are under an independent. We have 2 singers, they have only one singer. The approach is totally different. The music is totally different. I don't know why they just started this. If you go to America, of course they know better Evanescence, so they say that we are cloning them. In Europe it's the opposite.
==Band Members==
I actually read some interviews of Amy Lee in Europe and she was really pissed off. She was saying a lot of bullshit about us, probably because she's been answered so many times. But what about Lacuna Coil? Because people noticed similarities but we've been doing music since 1996!! So nobody can say that we copy them at all!
