"Driven by love and vengeance, the master thief DIAMANTIK hunts around the world - to relieve the most incredible, exotic locations of their most precious diamonds. Cunning secret policemen, murderous ninjas, bloodthirsty sharks and sensual sirens lead her to a previously undiscovered Sicilian island. Will she be able to bring her beloved companion back from the afterlife under the volcano?" With DIAMANTIK, MONDO SANGUE take the audience into the dazzling, stylish world of the swinging sixties. Not without a twist of course - the psychedelic pop-art adventure delivers some border crossings: Eurospy, adventure and martial arts cinema meet beat, bossanova and even disco. The result is a timeless genre cocktail, shaken together and served as a brightly colored concept album. With edgy electric guitars, groovy drum beats, glamorous orchestral movements and epic vocal lines, DIAMANTIK tells the story of the daring escapades of a diamond thief driven by love and revenge. Murderous ninjas, cunning detectives, bloodthirsty sharks and seductive sirens are all part of this musical chase around the world. As always, various cinematic and musical references to Italian genre cinema are openly played out, so that cineastic border crossers will notice a stylistically confident wink in the direction of Mario Bava or Ennio Morricone. The record is given an additional double bottom by the homage to the cult Italian "Fumetti neri" comics, which deal with the darker themes of pop culture in an extremely liberal manner. The result is an extremely danceable, beat-driven mixture of imaginary cult soundtrack and retro pop. MONDO SANGUE have once again gathered an illustrious circle of like-minded people for their sixth album DIAMANTIK: in addition to former collaborators Bela B and Rocko Schamoni, here Stefanie Schrank, Sedlmeir and the Parisian duo Eroina are involved for the first time.
