Toundra announce new soundtrack album for German silent horror film \’Das Cabinet des Dr.Caligari\’

\’Das Cabinet des Dr.Caligari\’ is the latest musical initiative of TOUNDRA, the intrepid instrumental rock band from Spain, that once again showcases their mutable capability to approach new projects and reinvent their art.

This is not just an exceptional soundtrack to the quintessential German silent horror film directed by Robert Wiene that turns exactly 100 years old in 2020, it\’s also a dialogue with the listener with the intention of questioning ideas like manipulation, freedom and human nature itself. The album will be released by InsideOut/Century Media on February 28th 2020.

The band states, \”\’Das Cabinet des Dr.Caligari\’ is a movie with a very strong visual energy. It\’s a film that takes elements of the terror movies to speak about authoritarianism. About how ideas can be controlled and eventually lead a human individual to do the worst things. It was premiered in between-war period, and it represents an advice about the real danger of some ideologies that nowadays are getting a new life across Europe; ideologies based in intolerance. That\’s why we like to see this film as historical document that invites to some conscious thinking rather than let ourselves go where intolerants want to take us.\”

The artwork has been done by Riki Blanco and it features all the iconic elements of the movie.

There will be a tour to present the album live and dates will be announced very soon, so stay tuned.
