Italian gothic rock outfit The Sade has announced its brand new album Nocturna, which will see the light of day on 28 October via Go Down Records.
Nocturna is a gloomy album influenced by the pandemic situation of the last two years, and it further increases the already dark style of The Sade. This work collects eclectic tracks composed between 2019 and 2020, which move far away from the rock'n'roll vibes of the early days to turn into a new dark-wave and goth mood.
The cover with the black rooster is emblematic and complex and represents the triumph of the "beast" in a pessimistic and nihilistic depiction of the human condition, which is now more fragile and guilty than ever. It is a visual recall of the Middle Ages as a time of darkness, dominated by ignorance and uncertainty, comparable to what we are experiencing today. The rooster is a symbol of passage between life and death, light and shadow, beginning and ending, fall and rebirth, and unstable like the mood during recent lockdowns. It leads us on a musical journey into the deep darkness of this alienation: melancholic moments alternate with massive doses of synthetic sounds, with the 80s and post-punk overtones. Now, foretaste Nocturna. Link
