Through his Instagram account, in announcing his entry into Lacuna Coil , Daniele Salomone shared a photo and a clip from the recording of the video for the song "Oxygen," with the following caption:
“I am very grateful to @lacunacoilofficial for this incredible experience. I am very honored to help them. I want to thank @cristinascabbia @maki @andrea_ferro_official and @richardmeiz (also known as pastafrollo) for trusting me. So yes, folks, the unknown man is me…”

Diego Cavallotti's departure
Last June, Lacuna Coil announced the departure of Diego Cavallotti, who had joined the band in 2016, initially to replace Marco “Maus” Biazzi . Following the announcement, Diego stated via his social media that “ this decision is not a result of my dissatisfaction or a desire to explore new opportunities .”
Lacuna Coil released a statement alongside the announcement of Cavallotti's departure, saying, “As we enter a new cycle, writing and recording our next album, we are parting ways with Diego 'DD' Cavallotti . We thank him for the many unforgettable moments shared over the years and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.”
And it continues: “All future plans for shows remain unchanged and the new music is taking shape. We can’t wait to share it with our fans.”
Cavallotti and Salomone previously played together in the Italian metal band Inverno , releasing their debut album Stasis in December 2023.
