Andrea Ferro and Marco Zelati formed Sleep of Right, but soon changed their name to Ethereal, and signed to Century Media at the end of 1997. Finding that the name Ethereal was already taken, they changed their name to Lacuna Coil, which means empty spiral.
In October of 2007 Lacuna Coil played for the first time in their career in Japan during the Loudpark Festival 07 at the Saitama Super Arena in Saitama City. In November 2007 they joined with Megadeth, Devildriver, Static-X and Bring Me The Horizon for the Australian Gigantour.
Their song "Closer" is featured as a bonus song in the video game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock.
Lacuna Coil are currently working on their follow-up to Karmacode. Kerrang! has stated that the new album is due for release in September 2008.
