Comalies, Lacuna Coil's third album, came out on Century Media on 29 October 2002, and it is where the Milan gothic metal band found their fullest sound. Waldemar Sorychta produced it, and the twin-vocal attack is the hook: Cristina Scabbia's soaring, crystalline lead winding around Andrea Ferro's rougher bark, over the guitars of Cristiano Migliore and Marco Biazzi, Marco Coti Zelati's bass and keyboards and Cristiano Mozzati's drums. Scabbia has described the sessions as a creative explosion, as if the band were working in a trance, and the title splices together "coma" and "lies".
"Heaven's a Lie" and "Swamped" are the brooding, melodic heart of it; "Swamped" later turned up in Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines and Rock Band. A slow grower in America, it had sold over 300,000 copies there by 2012, and for its 20th anniversary the band re-recorded the whole thing as Comalies XX.
