With the release of Reckless, Italian alt metal superstars Lacuna Coil are presenting the second single of their new album, Black Anima, out on October 11 via Century Media / Sony Music Australia. The official music video to Reckless continues the story, which began in the video to previously released single Layers Of Time and was again filmed by director Roberto Saku Cinardi.
Cristina Scabbia comments: “Reckless” is the second track taken from our new album “Black Anima”. We wanted the concept of the video for this song to be somehow related to the one in “Layers Of Time”: that’s why we filmed both of them in the same location picked by Roberto Saku Cinardi.
We had the band’s performance at the core of the “Layers of Time” video, while in “Reckless” the ideas of freedom and being true to yourself come to life through disturbing horror images to cause a reaction in the audience and actually represent the obscure atmosphere of our new record.
In “Reckless”, Lacuna Coil became part and parcel of the nightmare and fears experienced by the little redheaded girl. As usual, working with Saku in such a stunning location and with great actors that completely committed to the roles, has been absolutely inspiring. It was definitely worth it and I hope you will like this video as much as I do!”
Director Roberto Cinardi (aka SaKu) already worked with the band for many videos such as the award winning “Spellbound” (2009), “I Won’t Tell You” (2010), “End of Time” (2012) and the short film with members of the band Dark Passengers (2012).
THE NIGHT IS NOT JUST THE ABSENCE OF THE SUN, IT HAS ITS OWN ENERGY, THE DARKNESS MOVES IN…
THERE’S A TIMELESS REALITY, A NEVER ENDING UNIVERSE WHERE MEMORIES OF THE PAST LIVE INFINITELY
HERE RESIDES WHAT SOME PEOPLE MIGHT CALL HOLY ANGEL, FALLEN SPIRIT, DIVINE MESSENGER OR INVISIBILE
FORCE…WE CALL IT:
B L A C K A N I M A
