The Black Labyrinth / Requiem for the Goblin King is the thirteenth studio album by Cuban American dark cabaret singer Voltaire, released on December 26, 2022. The album is a tribute to David Bowie and acts as a sequel to the 1986 film, Labyrinth, recorded with 15 musicians that have worked with Bowie in the past. On September 2, 2022, Voltaire released the first single of the album, Oubliette, with the album releasing 3 months later. When asked about the album's story elements, Voltaire said "It was written very, very much to be a musical. It has a full story, just like any musical. And there are songs that, while they’re all sung by me as it’s my 13th album, they are written to be sung by different characters from the story, After years of recording this record, the moment it was finished, I put it on. I sat back and I closed my eyes and I pretended I was watching this play on Broadway and I wept openly. And there were moments where I cried because it’s sad. There were moments where I cried because it’s beautiful, but I cried a lot."
