This marks their first album of new material since 2019’s ‘Black Anima,’ they have unveiled the lead single ‘Oxygen’ along with a captivating music video featuring lead vocalist Cristina Scabbia.
‘Sleepless Empire’ is a result of the band’s inspiration during the Comalies XX sessions and was written and recorded in northern Italy.
