Relapse Records shares “Requiem For X,” the first track from Goblin Rebirth’s upcoming self-titled album (due June 30). The group (which features members of Italian film score figureheads Goblin) has made the track available to stream or embed from Soundcloud and YouTube.
“The song is a prayer… It starts very sad, but it builds to become furious in the end,” guitarist Giacomo Anselmi says. “It tells the story of the death of a goblin. Fabio (Pignatelli) arranged the entire song. A child was supposed to sing the whistle melody at the beginning, but we changed it — we didn’t want another ‘School at Night.’ It’s unbelievable, a continuous crescendo until the song stops. That’s the moment when X dies.”
Goblin Rebirth will be available on CD/LP/Digital, and is available for physical preorder HERE and digital preorder HERE.
The group has also revealed an album trailer to give fans a taste of what to expect of the record, which is available to stream or embed HERE. 
The music from this new album is to be performed at festivals in Italy starting in May 2015, and there are plans for live performances in other countries in the following months.
