Comalies is the third album by Italian gothic metal band Lacuna Coil. It was originally released 8 October 2002 on Century Media. In Cristina Scabbia's own words, "[during the album's recording], we had a sort of creative explosion. We were working in a coma, sort of like in a different dimension. First of all we just wanted to use the word 'coma' but there was something missing so we played with the two words coma and lies." Comalies peaked at #178 on the Billboard 200 and Peaked at #9 on Heatseekers and Independent charts, making it their second highest charting album after their follow-up album, Karmacode, which debuted on the Billboard Top 200 chart at #28 and #1 on the Independent chart. The outline of the shape from the cover of the Unleashed Memories album is faintly visible on top of the sunflower.

The song "Swamped" is available as a downloadable track for the music video game series Rock Band, and also appeared in the video game Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines.

In 2005, "Daylight Dancer" appeared on both soundtracks of the films, The Cave and Alone in the Dark.
