Lacuna Coil “Black Anima: Live from the Apocalypse” Review

Ron

The Year is 2020. A pandemic has altered the reality of the music business. Bands have to adapt or be swallowed alive. Lacuna Coil enters this world of the strange with their Black Anima: Live From the Apocalypse Livestream from Italy on September 11th.

Lacuna Coil show started promptly at 3PM EST which seemed to be way to early for a show but considering that in Italy it was 9pm, made it more understandable. I myself was invited to check out the Livestream. While I was still at work I took time to watch the stream as much as I could and I absolutely loved it. It was visually and stunning and the audio was perfect and crisp. The stage setup was awesome with all the little symbols everywhere and Lacuna Coil in their makeup made it extra spooky.

Lacuna Coil played their latest album “Black Anima” in its entirety and added “Bad Things” which is an exclusive song for Amazon that came out last year. Cristina and Andrea sounded amazing and the band was on point. The band came off the stage and sat down and talked about the show except for Cristina who was getting ready to do “Save Me” again but this time with Silvia Zanaboni on piano, which being on 9/11 gave us here in America chills and took a whole new meaning. 

The whole Livestream was amazing and one of the best I’ve seen so far this year. I know some people were saying that the I know some people were saying that the A-Live app wasn’t working for them but I had no problems at all and I was stuck at work with no WiFi. The show lasted a little over an hour. Would have loved to seen them play a little longer and throw in some older songs as well, but overall it was a excellent show. I always love seeing Lacuna Coil and missing them this year in the states this was the next best thing. Hopefully 2021 will allow us to have Lacuna Coil back in the States.

King Diamond who’s on tour now with Overkill and Night Demon.

Overkill always puts on a great show and shows that face pace thrash metal is still kick ass. Led by NJ’s Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth Overkill has that distinctive sound with Bobby’s high pitched and raspy vocals. With songs like “Scorched”, “ Rotten to the Core” and “Hello From the Gutter”, Overkill got the crowd into a frenzy and warmed up the stage before the king. 

You know it’s gonna be a good night when it’s 3 days before Halloween and you get to see a kick ass set from King Diamond. King Diamond who’s 68 right now still commands that stage and sounds amazing with his insanely falsettos. The stage show at a King Diamond show is always such a great sight to see. With a multilayer setup of stairs and little pieces of elaborate set all over it’s such a great view and perfect setting to watch a King Diamond set. 

The set list was amazing too we got to hear songs from such a great career like “A Mansion in the Darkness”, “Halloween “, “Spider Lilly”, “Welcome Home”, and “Eye of the Witch” and of course ending the night with “Abagail”. 

If you’re a fan of King Diamond or just a fan of great music that adds that Halloween haunted asylum themed stage performances then you need to go out and check this tour now. King Diamond never disappoints and always puts on one hell of a show.

ITS TIME TO GET YOUR BODY BEAT AND LET THE BLOOD FLOW

Combichrist came into Lovedrafts in Mechanicsburg with an old school electronic  set and the return of PA’s own DeathMaschine. 

Combichrist took the dark stage armed with Eric on the synths/sampler and Andy on Vocals and an open stage to rampage on. I got to hear some killer kick ass songs I haven’t heard in a while like “Today I woke to the rain of blood”, “This is My Rifle” and This shit will fuck you up”.  

The crowd were super excited to watch the set and everyone was having a good time, dancing to the beats, and singing all the songs and having an amazing time. I’ve been wanting to see Combichrist do these old school sets and have always loved that era of the band. We also got to hear “Like to Thank My Buddies” and “Shut up and Swallow”. We also got a super rare treat for an encore Andy went back even further in his musically roots and pulled out an Icon of Coil song “Dead Enough For Life”, which got the crowd in a frenzy.

ATL IS IN THE HOUSE. 

Ludacris came into Maryland at the Hall in Live Casino and brought with him the masses that were ready for a good time, good fun and good tunes. 

Ludacris said it’s been a long time since he’s been back to Maryland and DC area. I loved that he just came out with his dj and his hype man and himself nothing else was needed when you entertain like Ludacris does. Whether  you’re a fan from back in the day or a fan of his movies, Ludacris made everyone happy and made sure they were fully entertained. 

Of course Ludacris played some of his hits songs like “Act a Fool”, “Move Bitch”, “What’s your fantasy”, “Get Back” and “Area Codes” but he also played some old school tracks and a few covers like “Holiday Inn” and “Yeah”. The crowd was hitting that good weed as well and threw some blunts up to the stage during “BlueBerry Yum Yum”. 

Ludacris made a statement that his first album came out in 2000 and this next year is the 25th anniversary of the album. It was a great night and a great time, Ludacris knows how to keep the fans engaged and entertained all night. He’s very fan friendly and charismatic which makes sense that he’s also a great actor.
