Madonna Metal, a bad thing? You be the judge...
If you got this far you were not mislead. If you have ever listened to Lacuna Coil you can recognize the same thing. Now I have to prove it so you don't hit back on your browser. If you are comfortable with yourself, you can admit that Madonna is huge and always has been. Her vocal range is actually Mezzo-Soprano which is the mid range for females but Lacuna Coil's Cristina Scabbia is a Contralto, which is the lowest female vocal range. Usually done by witches in opera music, not exactly goth metal, but some Italian operas can be very Gothic. It humors me to listen to them and imagine Madonna being one of the vocalists. It sounds similar. Double bass? Yeah, I have to talk about double bass in every post or else it would be uncivilized. You have got to give Lacuna Coil credit for being very heavy and mainstream, and still having very tasteful double bass in it. In 20 years we can look back and say that that was a band who helped put more double bass into the mainstream, and internationally. Hope you enjoyed the reading.
