After the success of In a Reverie, Lacuna Coil was ready to tour worldwide and subsequent recordings were demanded by the label at that time. Released in 2000 Halflife is a monster of EP, a band effort in the pinnacle of their own songwriting: a beautiful, solid, well combined and excellently produced collection of songs. They perfectly fit within the concept of the debut lenght, but they just came later within the songwriting process. A way different direction on artistic and songwriting approach would follow after Halflife but this EP and their second length Untouched Memories both remaining as the end of the first musical era for Lacuna Coil.
