Lacuna Coil release new music video for ‘Hosting The Shadow’

LACUNA COIL have released a new music video!

The track, titled Hosting The Shadow, is taken from the band’s latest album Sleepless Empire, which was released back in February, via Century Media Records. The video was filmed during the band’s set at Aftershock Festival in October 2025 and features a special guest appearance from LAMB OF GOD frontman Randy Blythe, who also appears on the album version of the song.

Speaking about the video, vocalist Cristina Scabbia says, “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! Please enjoy the video, I truly hope you like it!”
