Karmacode, the fourth studio album from Milan gothic metal outfit Lacuna Coil, came out on Century Media in 2006, and it's the sound of a band bulking up. With Waldemar Sorychta producing, they swap some of their old velvet gloom for heavier, more metallic riffing, Marco Biazzi and Cristiano Migliore's guitars stacked like concrete over Cristiano Mozzati's drums and Marco Coti Zelati's bass. Middle-Eastern melodic curls snake through the songs more than on anything they'd done before, while Cristina Scabbia and Andrea Ferro pass the lead vocals back and forth, her voice soaring, his grinding.
The singles were "Our Truth", "Closer", "Within Me" and a brooding take on Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence" that won over Dave Gahan himself. "Without Fear" is sung in Italian. "Closer" and "Our Truth" found second lives in Guitar Hero and Rock Band, and the album went on to sell 500,000 copies worldwide.
