Ghostface Killah of the legendary Wu-Tang Clan returns with his powerful new single “Ancient Dirt (L’Etrusco Uccide Ancora),” available now on all major streaming platforms. The track marks his role as narrator in Nightmare in Rome, a groundbreaking multimedia project that fuses hip-hop, electronic experimentation, and Italy’s cinematic soundtrack legacy. Created alongside Italian producer Lorenzo Senni (Warp Records) and the iconic soundtrack label CAM Sugar, the project envisions a futuristic Rome divided by class and chaos, where an underground band performs from ancient catacombs as music becomes rebellion.
Through Senni’s reinterpretation of CAM Sugar’s vast film archive, “Ancient Dirt” bridges eras and genres, transforming Riz Ortolani’s original theme from L’Etrusco Uccide Ancora into a dark, visionary anthem. Nightmare in Rome also stands as CAM Sugar’s first original soundtrack for a comic book, made in partnership with Bonelli Editore, celebrating the label’s 65th anniversary. The result is an evocative blend of art, sound, and storytelling — Ghostface Killah’s unmistakable voice leading a revolution where past and future collide.
