Italian Gothic Rock outfitThe Sadeannounced their brand new album "Nocturna", which will see the light of day on October 28th viaGo 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 ofThe 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, 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 to 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, 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 80s and post-punk overtones.

Tracklist reads as follows:
01. Sinner
02. End of Time
03. No Mercy
04. Guilty
05. King and Queen 6. Oracle
07. Lullaby
08. She Dies
09. Long Live Death
10. Another Prayer
11. Flatline
