Black Anima is the ninth studio album by Italian gothic metal band Lacuna Coil.

It is the first album to feature drummer Richard Meiz, also part of Italian symphonic death metal band, Genus Ordinis Dei.

On 15 July 2019, previous drummer Ryan Blake Folden announced via Instagram that he did not play on Black Anima, nor would he be touring outside of the US.

Richard Meiz was officially announced as the new drummer of Lacuna Coil on the Genus Ordinis Dei Facebook page.

The band embarked on the Disease of the Anima tour to promote the album with co-headliner, All That Remains and special guests, Bad Omens, Toothgrinder, Uncured, and Eximious.

To promote the record, the band embarked on several headlining tours in United States, Europe, South America with acts such as Halestorm, 9ELECTRIC, Stitched Up Heart, and Butcher Babies.

After the album cycle for Delirium ended, the band went on to play a one night 20th Anniversary show in London that took place on 19 January 2018.

It's sacrifice and pain, it's justice and fear, it's fury and revenge, it's past and future... Human beings in the magnificence of a disturbing ambiguity.
