Review

Lacuna Coil's third full-length disc will not disappoint fans of the group's stately goth pop; led by the excellent tag-team vocals of Cristina Scabbia and (male vocalist) Andrea Ferro, the Italian sextet continues to produce top-notch atmospheric rock that defies easy categorization. Although there are occasional lapses into conservative craftsmanship ("Self Deception") and trite lyrics, there are also some nice experimental touches, like the attention-grabbing start/stop digital editing in "Aeon." ~ Andy Hinds, All Music Guide

Comalies is the third album by Italian gothic metal band Lacuna Coil. It was originally released 8 October 2002 on Century Media. In Cristina Scabbia's own words, "[during the album's recording], we had a sort of creative explosion. We were working in a coma, sort of like in a different dimension. First of all we just wanted to use the word "come" but there was something missing so we played with the two words coma and lies." Comalies peaked at #178 on the Billboard 200 and Peaked at #9 on Heatseekers and Independent charts, making it their second highest charting album after their follow-up album, Karmacode, which debuted on the Billboard Top 100 chart at #28 and #1 on the Independent chart. The outline of the shape from the cover of the Unleashed Memories album is faintly visible on top of the sunflower.

The song "Swamped" is available as a downloadable track for the music video game series Rock Band.

In 2005, "Daylight Dancer" appeared on both soundtracks of the films, The Cave and Alone in the Dark.
