The eighth album from Italian Metal outfit Lacuna Coil marks a certain break in the band’s history as Delirium is the first album without guitar player Cristiano Migliore and drummer Cristiano Mozzati, who left the band in 2014. And indeed, the change is audible. While Cristina Scabbia’s fantastic voice can still excite, the musical recipe of Delirium is somewhat similar on each track, and the general trend into Modern, almost Nu-Metal sounds does not become the band. While each song by itself is good, the whole album suffers from that monotony and ends up in 8th place in the band’s discography, although it is still far from being a bad album. Fans may want to approach with a little caution.

Frank was a reviewer here at Metal Express Radio, based out of Bavaria, Germany. He has worked in the games industry for more than 20 years, now on the manufacturing side, before on the publishing end. Before this, he edited and handled the layout for a city mag in northern Germany ... maybe that is why he love being part of anything published. Frank got hooked on Metal at the age of 14 when a friend introduced him to AC/DC. They were listening to The Beatles, Madness, and The Police, and he decided they should move on. Well, they did, Back in Black became Frank's first Metal album, and since Germany is reasonably close to England, they had some small New Waves Of British Heavy Metal washing up on their shores: Tygers Of Pan Tang, Samson, Gillan, Iron Maiden, Saxon, Sweet Savage, Diamond Head, etc. If he had to pick his favorite styles, Prog and Power Metal would be at the top of the list.
