"THE PROMISED LAND": ØUT ON FEBRUARY 28TH
TAKE ME TØ THE FUTURE
A futuristic rock song, infused with industrial vibes, that explores themes of existential questioning and societal critique. The lyrics contrast the constraints of “the System” with a yearning for freedom and rebirth. The repeated chorus, “Take me to the future,” emphasizes a desire to escape the present’s limitations and find a place where true beginnings are possible. The song blends urgency with contemplation, creating a powerful narrative about transformation, liberation, and transcending the confines of our current reality.
LAST SINGLE
From the new album "REBØRN"
Take me to the Edge
anywhere you want
Take me where you live
And share what we deserve
I’ve waited long enough
Now it’s time to go
tell me of space and time
And teach me about the world
Tell me about the secrets
Hidden in the Stones
Signs are now displayed
Ready to unfold
Following the path
Lead me to the truth
the System is our cage
And we were never born
the System is our faith
the System is the cure
the System is the place
Where hope cannot endure
the System is the lie
We share and we don’t fight
the System will collapse
if we just look beyond
Take me to the future
Take me to the future
Take me to the future
Take me to the future
Take Take Take Take
Take me to the future land
Take Take Take Take
Take me to the future land
the System is our faith
the System is the cure
the System Is the place
Where hope cannot endure
the System is the lie
We share and we don’t fight
the System will collapse
if we just look beyond
Undisclosed desires
Pulsing in my veins
Hungry eyes devour
knowledge from the skies
Tell me why we’re here
(And) what is yet to come
Help us to transcend
The future and the past
Rit. Take me to the future
Take me to the future
Take me to the future
Take me to the future
Take Take Take Take
Take me to the future land
Take Take Take Take
Take me where we can be born again
the System is our faith
the System is the cure
the System Is the place
Where hope cannot endure
the System is the lie
We share and we don’t fight
the System will collapse
if we just look beyond
TAKE
ME BACK
TO THE
FUTURE LAND
TAKE
ME BACK
TO THE FUTURE LAND
the System is our faith
the System is the cure

RUN!
WHY WOULD YOU LIVE AGAIN
IN DARKNESS?
WHY DON’T YOU TRY TO ESCAPE
FROM YOUR DARKNESS?
WHY IF THERE IS A CHANCE,
ARE YOU NOT GONNA TAKE IT?
DON’T YOU FEEL SO COLD
IN YOUR DARKNESS?
HEY DON’T LISTEN TO WHAT THEY SAY,
THEY CAN’T CONTROL YOU BUT IN YOUR GRAVE!
HEY DON’T TRUST WHO THEY ARE,
JUST RUN!!!
HEY DON’T LISTEN TO WHAT THEY SAY,
YOU HAVE CONTROL YOU’RE NOT A SLAVE!
HEY DON’T TRUST WHO THEY ARE
JUST RUN!!!
WHERE MAY YOUR FANTASY NOW
LEAD YOU?
OH, WHAT A WONDERFUL WORLD
YOU’VE DREAMED OF!
WHY, IF THERE IS A LIGHT,
ARE YOU GONNA IGNORE IT?
DON’T YOU FEEL SO ALONE
IN YOUR DARKNESS?
HEY DON’T LISTEN TO WHAT THEY SAY,
THEY CAN’T CONTROL YOU BUT IN YOUR GRAVE!
HEY DON’T TRUST WHO THEY ARE,
JUST RUN!!!
HEY DON’T LISTEN TO WHAT THEY SAY,
YOU HAVE CONTROL YOU’RE NOT A SLAVE!
HEY DON’T TRUST WHO THEY ARE
JUST RUN!

From the 1st album "HYBRID"
“Once again, Richard Wølf draws attention to a universal struggle: his musical mission aligns with the pursuit of freedom and independence, with emancipation and the dismantling of everything toxic, manipulative, and coercive. Delving into deep and complex human themes, he aims to break through the prevailing superficiality that permeates today’s society, offering listeners both a moment of reflection and a call to action.
The song finds its visual counterpart in the music video, also directed by Wølf himself, who brings his skills as a filmmaker, director, and actor to create a true 360° work of art. The video is a powerful visual metaphor that, through a gripping and dynamic narrative, brings to life the complexity of the mental labyrinth and the themes previously explored. The intensity and outstanding performances of Serena Segoloni—who plays the protagonist and voice of humanity—Ottavio Cannizzaro—who embodies paranoia—and Richard Wølf—who takes on the role of the “inner judge”—all contribute to an ascending climax that culminates in a final rebirth.
The dark cinematography, the labyrinthine structure of “Le Cale d’Otranto,” and the carefully chosen alternation of close-ups, mid-shots, and sweeping drone panoramas elevate the song to the next level, bringing the creative vision full circle.” – M.E.I.
VIDEØ
HYBRID
1ST ALBUM
“A dark album that enhances the light.” – Life Factory Magazine
“Hybrid’ draws from several kind of sounds, mixing the elegance of Wagner’s inspired classical music, the energy of hard rock and the electronic futuristic approach. Both songwriting and arrangements were born with cinematographic references in mind, so that the album can be listened as the fictitious soundtrack for a movie, TV series or even a videogame.” – Ryan Martin – Jammerzine (U.S.A.)
“Released April 16th, 2021,‘Hybrid’ is the debut album for Richard Wølf, stage name for Riccardo Sarti, who in “everyday life” works as actor, performer and voice actor. ‘Hybrid’ was born out of his love for music, but also for movies and sound design, both close to cyberpunk and sci-fi aesthetics and sub-cultures.” – Seléction Sorties (France)
“Alla base dell’album c’è l’idea del sincretismo, dell’ibridismo, dell’abbattimento delle barriere acustiche e umane: è un inno al cambiamento sociale, alla ricerca interiore, all’evoluzione spirituale collettiva e alla valorizzazione dei sentimenti e dell’empatia che rischiano di essere sempre più abbandonati, raffreddati o addirittura non riconosciuti a causa del costante feedback virtuale nel quale siamo abituati a vivere. “HYBRID” parla di umanità e lo fa con forza ed energia, sottolineando quel perenne contrasto tra luce e ombra che sta alla base di tutti i cambiamenti.” – Corriere Nazionale

SEEKING
HERE, I’M STANDING HERE
WAITING FOR SOMETHING…
WHERE THE DAWN RISES AND FEEDS MY EYES,
I FEEL THE BEAT OF MY LIFE
HERE, A JOURNEY FROM HERE,
UNTIL I FIND MYSELF..
INTO THE DARKNESS OR UP IN THE AIR,
I WILL SEEK EVERYWHERE
WE’RE BROKEN SOULS FIGHTING TO CHASE THE TRUTH,
BROKEN SOULS THAT KEEP ON DREAMING,
WAS IT THE RIGHT WAY, OR JUST A MISTAKE?
QUESTIONS ARE KEEPING ME AWAKE
AND, I KNOW IT’S TRUE,
I’LL RISK IT ALL AND GO DEEP IN MY SOUL,
REACHING THE STARS THAT ARE TRACING MY WAY
RIGHT INTO THE UNKNOWN
AND ALL THE PAST
AND ALL MY CHOICES HAVE BROUGHT ME HERE,
WITH SOMETHING TO GET AND MUCH MORE TO GIVE
WE’RE BROKEN SOULS FIGHTING TO CHASE THE TRUTH,
BROKEN SOULS THAT KEEP ON DREAMING.
WAS IT THE RIGHT WAY, OR JUST A MISTAKE?
QUESTIONS ARE KEEPING ME AWAKE
AND IF I AM ALIVE , WHAT IS THE AIM OF MY LIFE?
FAKING A SMILE, OR TAKING THE CHANCE TO TRY?
IF YOU FEEL YOU’RE ALIVE,
I HOPE YOU’LL GET ALL FROM YOUR LIFE
‘CAUSE LIVING WITHOUT DREAMS
IS LIKE WASTING YOUR TIME.
AND IF WE REALLY GET LOST,
AND EVEN THE SKIES ARE NOT ENOUGH ,
WHERE DO WE TURN TO
IF NOT INSIDE..
AND IF I AM ALIVE,
WHAT IS THE AIM OF MY LIFE
FAKING A SMILE,
OR TAKING THE CHANCE TO TRY?

“Richard Wølf has premiered his new video for the track titled ‘Seeking’, from his new album ‘Hybrid’. To say that ‘Seeking’ is cinematic would be misleading. Even a misnomer. Richard is an artist with a vision. A vision in music with a reach into the visual. A multi-talent in the truest sense of the word. You could easily separate the sound and the sight and have two completely different works of art. But, together, you have magic. That magic we get when we leave a theater after watching a brilliant film. That ‘aha’ moment when we discover a new favorite artist. That layer upon layer of sounds and orchestrations that come from that unique blend of music, mind, and madness.” – Ryan Martin – Jammerzine (U.S.A.)
