Stearica announce new album ‘Golem 202020’
STEARICA have announced a brand new album!
Titled Golem 202020, the upcoming album from the Italian avant/post/progressive rock band is their brand new full-length album and is scheduled to be released in March next year, via Monotreme Records.
The upcoming 10-track recording synthesis curated from the full soundtrack of the classic silent horror film Der Golem, wie er in die Welt kam. The soundtrack was originally commissioned by The Italian National Museum of Cinema and the Traffic Free Festival and was performed in the museum’s cinema as a live soundtrack to the film as part of the MiTo Settembre Musica in September, 2011.
The ten tracks, which cover the five chapters into which the film is divided, were recorded live in 2014 during a studio session organised to immortalise the work, with further embellishments added in 2019 while still maintaining the original arrangement.
Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have shared the first song from the upcoming album; In Flames. Speaking about the new song, Francesco Carlucci from the band says, “the first track we can reveal from this album is a journey into the flames. The Golem, maddened by the passion of love, sets fire to the tower and kidnaps the Rabbi’s daughter. He becomes rebellion and destruction. A desperate race towards nowhere begins, the race of fire and possession. The supernatural is indomitable, passion is indomitable. The rabbi remains a guide for his people, a guarantee of safety and protection, even from the creature he has generated. Salvation is for the whole village, not just for one man. The magician keeps us together: salvation is a team game, now more necessary than ever.”
