Italy's Death SS will release its new studio album, The Entity, early next year. The concept album was produced by mastermind and frontman Steve Sylvester along with the English Grammy winner producer Tom Dalgety (Rammstein, Ghost, The Cult,...). The cult band has also presented the first album's single and video, "Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde".
The literary inspirations of the 12-song opus range from Aleister Crowley, who seeks to liberate man by awakening his artistic genius, to the characters of writers James Hogg and Robert Louis Stevenson, who explore the dark side of mankind. It also includes figures such as Jack the Ripper, Walter Sickert, Cemetery and others, ultimately linking to the band's history.
The album will be preceded by four digital singles, also released as a 12" Limited Deluxe version, featuring a special-shaped cover with transparent red smoke-effect vinyl and will contain the first of the four-part booklet with the story behind the album's concept along with two other tracks on Side B, "Ave Adonai" and "Possession", included on the new album as well.
The first revealed track, "Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde", is a powerful dark metal song in pure Death SS style, ironically quoting the 1971 Hammer Production film of the same name. As in the movie and the song's amusing promotional video clip, the story is set in late 19th century London, where Dr. Jekyll, the famous character from Gothic fiction created by the writer Robert Louis Stevenson, gives life to his evil alter-ego Hyde, who however, in this case, is a woman.
