LACUNA COIL sitzen gerade im Flieger von Europa in die USA, um dort ihre Welttour zum neuen Album "Broken Halo Crown" zu beginnen. Nicht dabei werden Gitarrist Cris 'Pizza' Migliore und Schlagzeuger Cristiano 'CriZ' Mozzati sein: Beide haben sich entschieden, die Band-Karriere zugunsten familiärer Verpflichtungen in Rente zu schicken. Die Band betont, dass sie momentan nicht auf der Suche nach einem dauerhaften Ersatz für die beiden sei. Das Statement von Drummer CriZ liest sich so:

“Hey Coilers,

As many of you guys and gals know, during this last year lots of very important things happened in my life - something really amazing, and deep enough to make me sit in front of my laptop to write these bittersweet words...

I'm leaving my "second family" LACUNA COIL because I need this change in my life... this hasn't been an easy decision at all and I've come to it with pain in my heart, because together we laughed and cried; we fought and gave all our lives to this amazing band. Together we lived the dream for 16 wonderful, intense and unforgettable years. All you guys around the world gave me such positive and sincere vibes and emotions that will stay embedded in my heart for the rest of my life! I want to say thank you Coilers, friends, crew, partners, and people that listen to our music for being such an inspiration for me. To my brothers and sis I'd like to say the following: Never stop to kicking asses, you sure know how to!

The new record is the best thing we've done together. I have put all my passion and feelings into it and I'm sure you'll love it. I'll never stop playing drums - as we all know, if you were born with rock inside your veins, you'll die with it... and this is what I will do.

Take care and stay Coilers!

CriZ”
