Each of these tracks will seem on Sleepless Empire, which comprises 11 songs in complete.
Relating to the brand new track and its accompanying music video, co-vocalist Cristina Scabbia acknowledged, “‘Oxygen’ is a strong exploration of emotional battle and interior battle. The lyrics convey a way of drowning in a poisonous atmosphere, each actually (within the video) and metaphorically, the place makes an attempt at salvation, represented by ‘oxygen’ are in some way futile. This track encapsulates the sensation of struggling to interrupt free from what holds us down, when the journey is crammed with issue.”
She added, “It’s a uncooked anthem of vulnerability, resilience, and the braveness to face what appears insurmountable. Having to remain within the water for therefore many hours through the video shoot was cathartic for me, the belief that the nice sensation of floating may immediately grow to be harmful and lethal if I wasn’t cautious was very becoming with the track’s theme.”
The album was produced by Lacuna Coil member Marco “Maki” Coti Zelati (bass, guitars, synths), with the gothic metallic band stating, “Sleepless Empire captures, by means of our eyes, the chaos of a technology trapped in a digital world that by no means stops, the place social media consumes id and day by day pushes us one step nearer to turning into soulless zombies. We discover ourselves in between, having witnessed a full analogic world and the fashionable one, confronting the evolution and trying to find a real which means of all of it. All through each track, the journey is an undercurrent of rebel, a determined cry to reclaim oneself in an period that appears to have misplaced its sense of time and actuality.”
