The album is a paranoiac soundtrack to an imaginary Giallo horror film. The album contains 30 tracks of original music inspired by Italian film composers including Bruno Nicolai, Stelvio Cipriani, Ennio Morricone, Goblin and Piero Piccioni. The album marks the first full-length release by one of the Secret Chiefs 3 satellite bands. Previously, three of the seven satellite bands, UR, The Electromagnetic Azoth and Ishraqiyun have released limited edition 7-inch EPs. Le Mani Destre Recise Degli Ultimi Uomini also had a limited vinyl release. [1]
