Live Shots: Apocalyptica, Lacuna Coil shred and pluck at Regency Ballroom

Symphonic metal met goth metal—and plenty of hair went flying—on April 17.

By Jon Bauer

Finnish symphonic metal band Apocalyptica and Italian goth-metal band Lacuna Coil joined forces to unleash unique head banging sounds at Regency Ballroom on Sunday, April 17. It wasn’t your usual Easter evening show, that’s for sure, with plenty of hair flying and paintstick makeup glowing. Fun fact: Lacuna Coil even has its own card game coming out, called Horns Up.
