Gory clip continues storyline of Italian metal outfits' "Layers of Time" visual

With their new, ninth album, Black Anima, just a month away, Italian alt-metal stars Lacuna Coil have unveiled another stunning single, "Reckless," and its unflinching music video. 

Continuing the storyline introduced with their last drop, "Layers of Time," the new clip takes place in the same location and amps up on the previous video's horror-film vibe. "We wanted the concept of the video for this song to be somehow related," singer Cristina Scabbia relays. "We had the band's performance at the core of the 'Layers of Time' video, while in 'Reckless' the ideas of freedom and being true to yourself come to life through disturbing horror images to cause a reaction in the audience and actually represent the obscure atmosphere of our new record."

The video focuses around a red-headed girl experiencing disturbing nightmares that include demonic possession and gory bloodletting — plus Lacuna Coil themselves. Our young heroine is eventually woken and comforted by a maternal figure, but a final unsettling shot shows a grimace on the woman's face that leaves room for more terror to come. 

Black Anima is due out October 11th via Century Media. You can pre-order a copy in any format at this location, and catch Lacuna Coil on their upcoming co-headlining tour with All That Remains when it kicks off September 15th in New York City — a full list of dates is available here
