Having just spoken with Jeremy Depoyster of The Devil Wears Prada about their latest track ‘Ritual’ and how it’s about embracing the mundane and finding one’s purpose while battling the ever present weight of aging, this song from Lacuna Coil makes a stark contrast. According to the band this is what ‘In The Mean Time’ is about.
“In The Mean Time is a reflection on how much our society has generally ‘lost the plot’. We are living in really mean times filled with unhappy people: lonely, anxious, depressed, destructive. The pressure that crushes from the outside doesn’t allow to see things with the right clarity. This song is like group therapy: not a lamentation but acceptance that once broken, it’s hard to put oneself back together again. We need to take our mind off all the inescapable toxicity and find that there’s so much more to this life… and know that in the meantime, everything cannot be aligned”
Lacuna Coil also brought in friend of the show Ash Costello from New Years Day. On her addition to the song Lacuna Coil had this to say.
“We invited Ash Costello to feature on the track and we’re thrilled she came on board adding exactly what we needed for this song with her warm voice and charisma.”
The song is heavy, loud and powerful. All things we’ve come to know and love from Lacuna Coil.
