Andrea Gaetano "Andy" Ferro[1] (born 19 August 1973) is an Italian singer, best known as the male vocalist and one of the founding members of the gothic metal band Lacuna Coil.
At first the band covered classics with just a guitar and vocals; eventually they became more interested in music than skating, Ferro said "because of the age and the girls and all the injuries".
When they met Cristina Scabbia and heard she could sing, they invited her to try backup vocals.
In 1998, Lacuna Coil released their first EP and in 1999, after the departure of Raffael Zagaria, Claudio Leo, and Leonardo Forti and the recruiting of Cristiano Migliore and Cristiano Mozzati, Lacuna Coil had their current line-up.
Ferro has also changed his vocal style quite a bit over time; on their earlier albums up to Unleashed Memories, he had a tendency to use death growls for many songs, but over time he began to use mostly clean vocals.
