The Praise of Folly

Doomdelic Instrumental Space Prog Rockers L'IRA DEL BACCANO are back with their official 5th full length album on Subsound Records "The Praise of Folly". Out on February 20th 2026. The album release will be preceded by the single " The Praise of Folly part 1".

First 13 minutes of a long composition that will take up the entire side A of the album for a total of 21 minutes.

Guitarist Alessandro Santori says about the album: " We are very excited to finally release these three songs that we have worked hard to arrange on over the past two years. Once again we invite the listener to join us on a journey beyond the constraints of song form and genre, and to dive into The Praise of Folly like reading a book where you never know what will happen when you turn the page.

sometimes exactly what you expect, but very often. absolutely not. From the production point of view we pushed even more on the live aspect and sounds of the single performance.

We decided to not edit and comping between different takes of each song but to choose which one to use on the base of general feeling and then add some post arrangements to emphasize specific passages. We definitely did not want to create a perfect Frankenstein but to take the listener in the room with us during the performance, as in concert".
