The latest video from Lacuna Coil, "Within Me," wasn't exactly a cakewalk. The clip, which debuts on Headbangers Ball this week, was directed by Kal Karmen on March 2 and 3, and required the band to appear in multiple locations: the Borgo Medievale park and castle in Turin, Italy and the parched desert of Sardinia. On top of that, as soon as she was finished filming her parts, frontwoman Cristina Scabbia flew off to the U.S. to guest in Megadeth's "A Tour Le Monde (Set Me Free)" video.
Being the center of attention -- and running from place to place to do so -- is nothing new for Scabbia. This month she's on the cover of Revolver Magazine's "Hottest Chicks in Metal" issue along with Bleeding Through keyboardist Marta and Lacuna Coil are currently in the middle of the Hottest Chicks in Metal tour, which also features Within Temptation, The Gathering, In This Moment, Stolen Babies and Kylesa, all of whom feature hot chicks. Dates run through June 7 in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Scabbia recently told ChartAttack.com that she views the tour as an opportunity to prove that rock chicks are more than just pretty faces. "It's a common belief that if you have a woman in the band, or if you are a woman, you want to try to sell your image. As soon as I heard about all the bands taking part in this tour — they are all really talented and all the girls can really sing — I thought of it as a way to kill this kind of preconception with a funny name for the tour."
Perception killed. Now here's Lacuna Coil's video for "Closer":
