Not so "Spellbound" by this one..

A new single from Italian goth-metallers Lacuna Coil called "Spellbound" has just hit the airwaves.

Their upcoming album Shallow Life is being produced by Don Gilmore (of Avril Lavigne, Lit, and Duran Duran fame) and is supposed to showcase some Arabic influence.

My thoughts: Boy does this sound poppy to start off. Cristina Scabbia is still the saving grace of this band, without her they would be nothing. This song is all about the chorus, other than that its pretty mundane. Despite being pretty average, I still can't get enough of Cristina's voice.

Under the hand of Gilmore, and now touring with bands like Disturbed it seems like Lacuna Coil are taking a turn for the more commercial, and that's the vibe I'm getting from this track. I guess I'll have to wait and see what the rest of Shallow Life has to offer.

Take a listen,
