Italian goth metallers Lacuna Coil have released a new performance-based video for their song “Hosting The Shadow“. That previously released track features a guest spot from Lamb Of God vocalist Randy Blythe, with Blythe reprising his role in the video. This new clip was filmed during their live pairing at the ‘Aftershock‘ festival in Sacramento, CA this past October. Lacuna Coil vocalist Cristina Scabbia stated of getting the opportunity perform the song live with Randy:
“Filming the video for ‘Hosting The Shadow‘ at Aftershock, sharing the stage with my family in Lacuna Coil and with Randy Blythe was a truly cathartic experience. Randy is not only an incredible, professional musician, he’s also a precious friend and has added so much to our song. I think the video shows clearly the level of emotion and joy we shared both off and onstage – I used that positive energy to give it my all even though I was performing with a fever, ha ha! Please enjoy the video, I truly hope you like it!”
This week also saw Lacuna Coil announce a spring 2026 North American tour with Escape The Fate, VOWWS & AXTY.
