LACUNA COIL: 'I Won't Tell You' Video Released

January 12, 2010

"I Won't Tell You", the new video from the Italian rock act LACUNA COIL, can be viewed below. The clip was helmed by acclaimed Italian director Saku, who previously worked with the band on the "Spellbound" video.

Commented male vocalist Andrea Ferro: "Energy is the keyword for our new video-clip for the song 'I Won't Tell You'. Once again we've been working with director Saku, who previously worked on 'Spellbound' (and won an award for best editing for that one). For the first time we've invited our fans to be part of the clip and be the main attraction together with the band. To be gathered and work side by side has been a really valuable and funny experience; the fans were great actors and we will never be able to thank them enough. As I say, it's a really energetic video with some special FX and a great vibe."

Added director Saku: "We had a great time shooting the video. Despite the cold temperature, there was a nice and warm human atmosphere between the band, the fans, and my crew. I'm totally satisfied with the images; Cristina [Scabbia, vocals] and the band look so cool, and I like the way the video mixes performance, fans, and 'vampiresque' effects."

LACUNA COIL will release a special double-disc "deluxe edition" of its latest album, "Shallow Life", for the price of a single CD, featuring alternate artwork, a disc full of rare and previously unreleased material (studio, acoustic and live tracks) and an expanded booklet.

Release dates are as follows:

Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy: January 22
Spain: January 26
Sweden, Finland, Hungary: January 27
U.K., France, Benelux, Denmark, Norway, Portugal, Rest Of Europe: January 25

LACUNA COIL's upcoming European headlining tour will feature support from DIRTY LITTLE RABBITS and the gothic rock act DOMMIN. DIRTY LITTLE RABBITS will be direct support to LACUNA COIL on seven shows, while DOMMIN will take part in the entire tour.

LACUNA COIL was honored in the "Best Editing" category at the "Premio Videoclip Italiano" ceremony (Italian Videoclip Awards) on December 11, 2009 in Milan. Ferro and Scabbia accepted the award for the "Spellbound" clip, which was shot at the Dolce & Gabbana Gold restaurant in the band's hometown of Milan with Saku. It was produced by Apnea Film and the wardrobe was provided by Dolce & Gabbana.

Commented Scabbia: "We had a great time shooting the video for 'Spellbound' and it also mark[ed] our first time working with acclaimed Italian director Saku in a location that's really peculiar. It was filmed in a very fashionable place: the restaurant Gold located in Milan, Italy, which owned by the fashion designers Dolce & Gabbana, who kindly gave us the permission to film over there! The location provide[d] the perfect atmosphere to express the 'Shallow Life' theme. Everything is really shiny and 'bling bling' and the band is performing in the middle of a golden room full of mirrors and giant chandeliers. The story [was] rounded out by some actors that are interpreting different aspects of being under a spell of something: the girl obsessed by her weight and look, the guy who wants to be a superman, the politician etc."
