BROKEN MELODY is a progressive and melodic power metal band from Alghero Italy, who also incorporate traditional metal into their sound. Broken Melody was formed in 2006 by Francesco Palmieri (vocals), Roberto Ortu (guitars, vocals), Riccardo Cherchi (guitars), Gabriele Viviani (bass) and Francesco Usai (drums). Riccardo Cherchi was to leave after the release of the band’s debut album, to be replaced by Emanuele Ninu on guitars.
Broken Melody spent much of 2007 in the studio, releasing their debut EP, If You Want To Fly in April and their full-length, Face The World in September.
With the recruitment of Ninu, the band’s sound shifted more towards a progressive one, showcasing their new direction on their 2008 promo, The Beast Within Promo 08. In 2009, now on Copro Records, the band released their second album, Mirroring Identities.
