Elegy of Madness - Broken Soul (official music video)
Below is the video for the Elegy of Madness song "Broken Soul" from the October 20th, 2023 album XI. Active since 2006, XI is their fifth album and it marks the debut of their new singer Kyrah Aylin (Chiara Di Mare). The video below is a pretty good representation of the band's neosymphonic sound with gothic elements and operatic singing. Some of the songs lean more in the direction of neosymphonic elements, while others showcase the singing, demonstrating that they are happy to convince the longtime fans who have been wondering about the future of the Italian band.
There are other interesting details to notice on the album: a bit of blasting speed, some lush passages, and a tiny bit of growled vocals in some spots, and other small spices sprinkled throughout the album. The lyrics, coupled with the music, read like gothic poetry. Amazon Music does not register that there are explicit or curse words, and I have read the lyrics, and they deal with a type of fantasy/sinister setting that fits the music. There is only word that is a curse word on the album: "I don't give a damn." Overall, this is an album that you can play in your car while driving the little ones to basketball practice and games and let them hear some metal music.
