LACUNA COIL: Halflife EP Digipak. Very rare fold out digipak. Check audio

Description

Very rare fold out digipak only released in Lacuna Coils native Italy. This is very rare and collectible. Some tracks lean slightly (only very slightly) over to the death metal side (because of Ferros vocal style). Never the less ‘Halflife’ is still essential.

Half-Life was released in 2000 with five songs, entitled “Half Life”, “Hyperfast”, “Stars”, (A cover of a Dubstar single. “Stars”, the best-selling single by Dubstar, received a wide variety of play time in clubs), “Trance Awake”, and a demo version of a future song, “Senzafine.” “Senzafine” was added onto the bands next big project: their 2001 album Unleashed Memories. The Unleashed Memories version is slightly different. The lyrics are a little different, and also The Unleashed Memories version has an extra verse:

Sono ancora in piedi in questo istante di pura follia
Non so piu se desiderare il bene o il male
Anche se il peccato forse piu ma da

Or in English,

I am still standing in this moment of pure madness
I don’t know anymore if I should desire good or evil
Although sin maybe gives me more

5.0 out of 5 stars. 5 Worthwhile Tracks to Experience More of Cristina Scabbias Vocal Range
The Halflife EP by Lacuna Coil includes three tracks in particular that are must-haves for those who love to experience the beautifully dynamic, mysterious, and ethereal qualities of Cristina Scabbias vocal range. I found tracks “Halflife” and “Stars” particularly pleasing. “Hyperfast” is also a pretty rockin’ tune. As a fan of Lacuna Coil it is nice to have this EP.
