Earthset has today released their new single and video for the track titled ‘Zemlja’. Returns are best when triumphant. Earthset has achieved that and more. As one of those bands that frequently outguess and outthink the establishment by going in completely different directions, career-wise, they have created a catalogue of music that has defied the mainstream while keeping their personal mainstay. This is almost impossible to achieve in the music business. But here is a perfect example.
Earthset is a much different band than they were ten years ago. It’s not maturity. It’s evolution. Maybe even (r)evolution of the species (inside joke).
‘Zemlja’ is more than a return to form after cinematic experimentation. It’s a statement. It’s meaning for the masses and music from the muse. It’s what we need right now.
About ‘Zemlja’
“Zemlja” marks the return of Earthset, a rock quartet from Bologna. After many years performing cinematic concerts and writing soundtracks for silent movies (such as “L’Uomo Meccanico”, “Nosferatu”, “The Earth” and “The Adventures of Prince Ahmed”), the band returns with a song about anger, fear and the feeling of helplessness that we might feel in front of a daily reality that seems to escape our control, fading into senseless hate and violence.
But it is not that everything is lost…a song, fuels the hope of a different future, where we can dream, spread colors, and rediscover the union between mankind and the earth that lives.
This is “Zemlja”. This is our song for the earth.
About Earthset
Earthset is a rock quartet from Bologna, Italy, formed in 2012 by Luigi Varanese, Emanuele Orsini, Costantino Mazzoccoli, and Ezio Romano. Over the course of their career, the band has explored diverse aspects of the rock genre, from the more alternative debut (In a State of Altered Unconsciousness, 2015) to indie-rock (POPISM, 2017), finally moving into experimental rock (bound, 2022). Difficult to fit into one specific musical genre, their music is characterized by a blend of noise elements and gentle melodies, where dynamism and mood swings are the norm.
At the same time, Earthset has produced four cinematic concerts in collaboration with Cineteca di Bologna and Soundscreen Film Festival di Ravenna. After “L’Uomo Meccanico”, published as an LP in 2020, they realized musical scores for “Nosferatu” (2020), “The Earth” (2022), and “The Adventures of Prince Ahmed” (2024).
In 2025, they get back with “Zemlja”, a new song in which they return to songwriting.
