KEOMA Release First Single 'Contact' from Upcoming Album

Hybrid Metal group Keoma, founded in 2008, has returned and released a new single called “Contact“. The single nicely combines joyful melody and the suddenly changing moods that the band has followed throughout its existence – a unique, original style breaking genre boundaries. “The roots of the song are strongly in the 2010s, when we started working on this, but it was never finished. We…

it's a spaghetti western from the 70s so i was prepared for it to be absurd. i was prepared for the racism. i was prepared for the slurs. i was prepared for the pants. i was only slightly baffled by the opening scene where the dusty old desert town was in michigan.

what i was NOT prepared for. what the poster and synopsis did NOT prepare me for. was that the main character is followed at all times by an ashen-faced witch narrating the plot through extremely high-pitched song. the witch is never explained. keoma sometimes approaches the witch just long enough for her to tell him he's doomed, and he glowers at her and rides away. it is unclear if the other characters are aware of or can see the witch. it's a regular old western about a suspiciously italian-sounding blue-eyed native american in bellbottoms killing former confederate soldiers, except the main character is being tormented by an operatic witch.

HE IS RIDING DAY AND NIGHT the witch sings as he is shown riding his horse. KEOMA YOU SHOULDN'T KILL THOSE MEN she sings as he rides to kill those men. keoma's friend tries to save a woman but there are too many enemies and over the next shot of keoma riding his horse the witch sings YOUR FRIEND TRIED TO SAVE HER, HE DID HIS BEST, BUT THERE WERE TOO MANY ENEMIES AND IT WAS A LOT. DON'T BE MAD. HE REALLY TRIED. and then keoma says the n-word in a thick italian accent but the witch has no commentary on that.

halfway through the movie keoma also starts narrating in song, but it starts with him singing SHE FINALLY SHUT UP and then the witch sings NO I DIDN'T before she lets him sing about his daddy issues for a while. at the climax of the film he just sings I WANNA DIE in a low monotone while becoming christ imagery to a background chorus of the witch telling him she told him this would happen.

anyway my takeaway from all this is that more films should feature narration in the form of unexplained and tonally-dissonant diagetic opera, but preferably at a pitch that doesn't hurt my ears

KEOMA (Enzo G. Castellari, 1976)

I’m continuing with my Castellari kick, this time with Keoma, a western shot in Italy. It has one of the most visually stunning opening scenes I can remember: a lone soldier (Franco Nero as Keoma), looking like a bedraggled Jesus, return home from the Civil War only to encounter death in the figure of an old woman who reminds him/ tells us that she’d sought him out before when his homestead was…
