A number of years ago I went on holiday to Italy and there was an Italian gothic rock band called Lacuna Coil who were being played everywhere. I'd never heard of them and just assumed they were a band big in Italy and nowhere else. The area I was staying in was popular with locals as well as tourists.
Whilst that assumption wasn't too wide off the mark, it turned out that Lacuna Coil had already had a solitary Top 40 hit in the UK with this record. With a female singer in Cristina Scabbia they sounded like an Italian Evanescence.
They narrowly missed out on the Top 40 with their next single which was a cover of "Enjoy The Silence" by Depeche Mode which made number 41.
