Karmacode
2006 album by Lacuna Coil
Karmacode is the fourth studio album by Italian gothic metal band Lacuna Coil, released on 31 March 2006 in several countries in Europe, 3 April in the UK and other European countries, 4 April in North America, and 5 April in several other European countries through Century Media Records. 500,000 copies of Karmacode have officially been sold worldwide.
In Italy the album sold over 20,000 copies, earning the album a Silver record. In the United States, the album sold around 200,000 copies.
The album's four singles released include "Our Truth", the cover of "Enjoy the Silence", "Closer", and "Within Me". Vocalist Cristina Scabbia confirmed that the song "Without Fear" is an Italian song. Music videos for all singles have been released.
Lacuna Coil's version of "Enjoy The Silence" caught the attention and admiration of Dave Gahan, the lead vocalist of Depeche Mode. Gahan, known for his discerning taste and appreciation for covers of his band's songs, expressed a particular fondness for Lacuna Coil's rendition. Among various popular covers of "Enjoy The Silence," including those by Tori Amos, Entwine, and Mike Koglin, Gahan was drawn to Lacuna Coil's interpretation for its unique and distinct sound.

Why this record matters
“Karmacode” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Karmacode, album and Lacuna provides the most credible route into that argument.
Attribution, date and provenance are strongest when supported by the original work, a catalogue record and documented transmission. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1422385. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2006.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
