HEY, GUESS WHAT! CRISTINA SCABBIA IS STILL A HOTTIE!

And, as the keen observers at Hipsters out of Metal so duly noted, Lacuna Coil’s 2006 album Karmacode was a damn good record:
Somehow Italy’s Lacuna Coil snatched awesomeness from the jaws of mediocrity by releasing 2006’s most compelling melody album, Karmacode. Prior to that, LC boasted one great single (over like 17 albums) and Cristina Scabbia (above), loud rock’s best singer — and whoa quite a fetching one at that. Some Iowan guitarists have all the luck. I haven’t called off my campaign to get Scabbia a solo record, though Karmacode did a lot to mute my demands; we’ll see if the goofy outfit-prone (read: European) sextet turns out a second near-masterpiece. For now, LC’s double DVD Visual Karma (Body, Mind, and Soul) comes out in November. Check out Karmacode’s sledgehammer tune “Closer” live (and acoustic ugh) on Dave Navarro’s uh Spread TV. Let’s get a pool going for time elapsed between the band arriving on set and Navarro’s first proposition to ’spread’ Scabbia. It was probably in the rider.
In case you’re still doubting either Scabbia’s hotness or stunning vocal ability, check out said acoustic performance on Dave Navarro’s show, after the jump. We really, really feel bad for the dude singer. I mean… He MUST know…. Right?

In other news that people may actually care about, Traced In Air finally shows up in the upcoming releases section, yay!
I’m not sure what’s hotter. Her appearance or the fact that she can sing like a beast.
I think they come together to make one nice little Italian package.
And I think Jim Root needs to pray to something every night because he’ll never be good enough.
Yay! For “Traced In Air”!! Pre-order available at Amazon.com. Just do it. You won’t be disappointed.
Too bad Lacuna Coil is pretty much the worst gothic metal band I can think of. Everything in every way screams mediocrity.
Nice Evanescence performance.
Evanescence sucks. NOT TO MENTION that Lacuna coil did this music YEARS before, but you Sammyfag don’t know that, right???
I sorta look like Cristina too when I listen to Lacuna Coil. Except I got my right hand over my ears as well.
@Rockrule: Yes, I know that. I was making a funny. Now, quit looking at my incredible ass.
new studies show a positive correlation between people’s appreciation for lacuna coil and number of eyes and/or penises.
You know you do Sammy. Ass is great but still, Evanescence sucks, Period.
