.. BROKEN MELODY born in Alghero (SS), in April 2006. Born as a project of traditional Hard Rock / Metal formed by Francesco Palmieri (Voice), Roberto ortu (Guitar and vocals), Riccardo Cherchi (Guitar), Gabriele Viviani (Bass Guitar) and Francesco Usai (Drums), the band evolves step by step toward a completely new and authentic sound.
In January 2007 the band began recording the first EP titled "If You Want to Fly" published in June 2007 and self produced the album "Face the World", published in August 2007. Throughout the time of birth, the band performs in several concerts and events, collecting more and more increasingly consensus and differs from more traditional genres of metal. Often mentioned by listeners, such as band worthy of attention and more disparate influences, the band crop an area of importance in the underground music scene in Sardinia and slowly in Italy. The criticism classifies the sound of Broken Melody as a mixture of AOR and Thrash Metal with injections that come from traditional rock and pop rock times since the early 90s. The EP "If You Want to Fly" is reviewed with lots of consensus and it will build the sound that will be proposed in the album "Face the World". The album received reviews of all kinds, without ever giving the possibility to criticism to classify the music proposed by the band, then approved a unanimous vote as "a new way of melodic metal."
From June to August 2007, the components Roberto Ortu and Francesco Palmieri formed the acoustic project “Broken Melody Acoustic Duo” which will see them engaged throughout the summer in acoustic performances, where they will do completely revised repertoire of songs and cover songs of the most famous artists.
The project received positive support, and it will continue in the years in different parts of the region, increasingly enriching the repertory and adding a third element (Emanuele Ninu, which will enter into the band in a permanent way since 2007). From there onwards, the project will be called “Broken Melody Acoustic Trio”.
In September 2007 the band signs an agreement with Alkemist Fanatix Europe management who will represent them across Europe.
In 2007, guitarist Riccardo Cherchi leave the band and he will be replaced by Emanuele Ninu that will lead the band with Glam and Street Rock influences from the 80s. Emanuele's contribution is crucial, so, the band fray again their cards and the concerts to be performed with the new formation, will give the opportunity once again to the band to confirm to the public as a new reality of the metal scene. The public describes the band as a plunge in the past, the concerts are alive, the members have fun playing, drag the listener, and live each moment with intensity.
In January 2008, Broken Melody enter again in studio to record new material. They record the new promo "The Beast Within 'Promo'08". The sound is upset again and finally joins two worlds of music, such as the AOR and Thrash Metal, with the thousand melodic influences that have always characterized their sound.
In June 2008 the band signed the first contract with Copro Records (UK) and Plastic Head for worldwide distribution and with Alkemist Fanatix Europe, confirms the entry in studio to record the new album at Real Sound Studio in Parma form May 2009.
In August 2008 the band won the AlgueRock competition, confirming the band as one of the most important music proposal of northern Sardinia.
In September 2008, the band received the first endorsement contracts with Musician Star Wear (line of rock apparel), GHS Strings and In Tune Guitar Picks.
In November 2008, the band signs a contract with the TSM Promotions Agency in England, which will see the agency committed to the promotion of the band throughout the united kingdom.
In October 2009, the album MIRRORING IDENTITIES will be published by Copro Records.
Now, it’s time to rock!
