FABIO FRIZZI Announces the “Beyond Composers Cut Tour” Frizzi 2 Fulci

Fabio Frizzi is returning to North America to perfom the legendary score for “The Beyond.” “The Beyond” is a psychedelic, supernatural nightmare directed by the granddaddy of Italian splatter Lucio Fulci. The second film in Fulci’s “Gates of Hell” trilogy sandwiched between City of the Living Dead (1980) and The House by the Cemetery (1981), “The Beyond’s” loose narrative revolves around a Louisiana hotel which may in fact be one of the seven gates to hell. The movie is beloved by horror fans for its surrealistic imagery and gore-tastic set pieces, including gouged out eyes, face-eating spiders, reanimated corpses, and a bloodthirsty dog. Additionally, a composer’s cut of the score is being re-release in conjunction with the tour via Cadabra Records.

ONE MORE WEEKEND Look Back On Themselves With ‘We Used To…’

The opening track, Boxheads, is a slice of pure pop rock and an ode to those that yearn for something more in everyday life. Faceless Names, The Heat, Leave Me Be and Deprived all deal with personal, mental and physical relationship issues and come with their own distinctive rock groove. Shredders, Listen, Generation and You Don’t Know Me bring a very real world take on subjects that include the advertising fueled consumerism industry, communication and predetermination in todays society. De-Icing My Car and Humanity are both powerfully emotional highlights that provide insight into personal and world issues and among all this we have two acoustic tracks Cover Talk and Lost At Sea that delve into deeply personal stories.

New Single: STUMFOL – Long Story Short

Stumfol is back! After the first single “I Got Lost”, the title track of the new album (15.11.2019, Homebound Records) will be released with “Long Story Short”. The likeable german finally returns after a three-year creative break!

Although the new songs are again accompanied by drums and electric guitar, they sound much calmer, more prudent but at the same time authentic and somehow familiar as usual. Each song tells its own story and the complete work reads like a personal diary full of ups and downs, full of doubt, shame and self-knowledge. Much is new, but the most important thing has remained: the unmistakable sound of STUMFOL, the warm, sympathetic voice and, above all, the great moments.
