Dark Adrenaline is the sixth studio album by the Italian alternative metal band Lacuna Coil . It was released on January 27, 2012 via Century Media .
Emergence
At the end of 2010, the band began work on their sixth album. Due to a shoulder injury , bassist Marco Coti Zelati was unable to play concerts and worked out his first ideas at home. The musicians decided to work again with the American producer Don Gilmore. Most of the recordings took place in Milan . Only the vocals and keyboards were recorded in Gilmore's Los Angeles studio.
Since the band was dissatisfied with the mix of the previous album Shallow Life , this time Marco Barusso mixed the album. Barusso previously worked with artists such as Coldplay and Eros Ramazzotti . Despite being a huge metal fan , Barusso has never been able to work with a metal band. With Losing My Religion the album contains a cover version of a REM song. The song My Spirit is dedicated to the Type-O-Negative singer Peter Steele , who died in 2010 .

His colleague Matthias Weckmann described Dark Adrenaline as a barrier-free album that “doesn't get stuck” and awarded it four out of seven points.
