After the huge success of 'In a Reverie', Lacuna Coil was all set to embark on a global tour. At that time, the record label eagerly demanded subsequent recordings. Released in 2000, 'Halflife' is an amazing EP. It showcases the band at the peak of their songwriting skills. This collection of songs is beautiful, well - crafted, and expertly produced. These tracks fit perfectly within the concept of the debut album, although they were created later in the songwriting process. After 'Halflife', the band took a different artistic and songwriting direction. However, this EP and their second album 'Untouched Memories' mark the end of Lacuna Coil's first musical era. This is the second press of 350 copies on black vinyl with a printed inner sleeve. Tracklist: Side A - 1. Halflife, 2. Trance Awake, 3. Senzafine; Side B - 4. Hyperfast, 5. Stars (Dubstar cover).

If you own this black vinyl EP, here's how to enjoy it. First, make sure your record player is clean and in good working condition. Gently place the vinyl on the turntable, and use the tonearm to lower the needle onto the first track. Sit back and enjoy the music. When you're done, carefully lift the tonearm and return it to its rest. To keep your vinyl in great shape, always hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints on the playing surface. Store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Clean it regularly with a soft, anti - static brush to remove dust. If you notice any scratches, you can use a vinyl cleaner to try and reduce their impact on the sound quality.
