November 3 marks the release date for The Cabinet Of Dr. Caligari, the latest from cinematic rock band Sleepbomb. The album will release on Koolarrow Records/Consouling Sounds.

Described as a score album, this record reimagines a silent cinema staple from the band's perspective.

The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is a movie I discovered as a teenager, and I was completely captivated by its gothic, chaotic, and highly expressive aesthetic. For this film in particular, I wanted to convey the strange beauty that emerges from it, over and above its sometimes disturbing or even terrifying aspect," Claire Hamard offers about the inspiration.

The album will release on LP, cd, and digitally. A release show takes place in San Francisco, CA tomorrow.
