Karmacode is the fourth full-length album by Italian gothic metal band Lacuna Coil, released on March 31st, 2006 in several countries in Europe, April 3rd in the UK and other European countries, April 4th in North America, and April 5th in several other European countries.
In an interview in Rock Sound Magazine issue #82 entitled "Lacuna Coil – Breaking the Code", vocalist Cristina Scabbia confirmed that the song "Without Fear" is an Italian song, and that "Enjoy The Silence" is a cover version of the song by Depeche Mode. She also gave a small breakdown of each song.
The CD has had three singles so far as of September 2006. Our Truth, Closer, and the Depeche Mode cover of Enjoy the Silence. Videos for all of those songs have been released.
The album is different in style, from their previous albums. Abandoning their gothic sound, Karmacode combines Nu-Metal riffs, with hard rock and female vocals. Many of the songs have a Pseudo Middle-Eastern element to them. According to Andrea, this album was the band's attempt at becoming "heavier". This attempt was influenced by the band's admiration of bands such as Korn.
