Broken Wings return with “WAR”, the new lyric video created by Nicla Cucini—an artwork that fuses music and imagery into a single, powerful statement of intent. “WAR” is a deep and restless journey through both the visible and invisible forms of war: those that devastate cities and those that silently consume the soul. Watch the lyric video below.

The band deliberately steps away from their traditional raw, straight-ahead heavy rock sound to immerse themselves in a different sonic territory—darker, more visceral. The song was born from an instant intuition, a flash that carried with it visions of rubble, inner conflict, and a humanity tested by a fragile present marked by global tensions and personal vulnerabilities impossible to ignore. All of this is reflected in the writing, the imagery, and the very character of the track.

From that initial spark, “WAR” grew into a grunge-rock crescendo dense with pathos—a sonic body that throbs, fractures, and reassembles itself. It is a song that does not merely tell a story: it screams, bleeds, observes, and leads the listener straight into an open wound.

The lyrics confront the weight of bombs—both real and mental—the corrosive power of hatred, and the broken promises of those who hold power. Yet amid the smoke and the collapse, a fragile and stubborn presence remains: a star, symbol of a hope that refuses to be erased, even when every other light seems to have gone out.

In the final scene, as a man walks away from a ruined city, his dog appears beside him—alive.
This image, simple and almost minimal, strikes straight to the heart: it represents that instinctive purity, that absolute loyalty, so often forgotten by human beings. A silent force, so authentic that it feels more “human” than humanity itself.

And it is precisely this vision that closes “WAR”.
There is no triumph, no definitive answer.
Instead, there is a warning—an echo that lingers: despite everything, something can still survive.

“WAR” is a passage through collapse and resistance, a cry against dehumanization and, at the same time, a whisper that reminds us:
as long as a spark exists, there is still a reason to fight.

Wanikiya Record/Promotion is proud to announce the release of the new and highly anticipated album by Broken Wings, titled “23”, available from October 31st on all digital platforms, CD, and vinyl.

Broken Wings represent one of the most authentic and promising rock bands on the Italian and European scene. With “23”, the band confirms its unique identity and its ability to blend energy, melody, and raw emotion into a powerful, visceral, and instantly recognizable sound.

Formed in Udine in 2018, Broken Wings are the result of a deep friendship and a shared musical vision: a rock sound that merges hard rock, heavy metal, and the immortal spirit of 70s and 80s rock’n’roll — reimagined in a modern and personal way. Every song strikes a perfect balance between technique, emotion, and passion, taking the listener on an intense journey where music becomes both storytelling and freedom.

LINE-UP:
🎤 Sabrina Coianiz (Sabu R’n’R) – Vocals
🥁 Ilenia Serini – Drums
🎸 Gabriele Plai – Bass
🎸 Massimo Zanuttini – Guitar

With major international experience — from the legendary stages of the Rainbow and Whisky a Go Go in Los Angeles, to sharing the stage with bands such as Europe, Wolfmother, The Dead Daisies, Crashdïet, The Cruel Intentions, Vicious Rumors, Pretty Boy Floyd and Pino Scotto — Broken Wings have built a solid career based on electrifying live shows and a strong musical identity, where every note is raw and alive.

After the acclaimed debut “Against the Wind” (2022), the band returns with a mature, energetic and inspired work. The single “Crossroad,” released on September 15th, has already anticipated the artistic direction of the new album, showcasing evident growth and flawless production — making “23” a true manifesto of their journey.

THE MEANING OF “23”
Why “23”?
Because it represents us. It was born spontaneously during the early writing sessions, when the first song titles began to take shape in the rehearsal room. From the very beginning, we felt that number was a symbol capable of embodying the spirit of our new work.

In rock culture, the number 23 evokes mystery, rebellion, and transformation. It is the number of those who explore the unknown, challenge the rules, and seek their own truth — walking between solitude, freedom, and revolution.

But above all, “23” speaks of choice: the choice to be yourself, to take unbeaten paths, to embrace your limits and turn them into strength. Each track tells a story of a decision, a crossroad, a moment where music becomes freedom and courage.

This album is a deep sonic journey, an invitation to choose who we are, to get lost and find ourselves again through the music.
“23” cannot be explained — it must be felt. Lived. Chosen.

Metal Ghost
Away
Crossroad

On September 15th, 2025, Broken Wings officially presented to the public “Crossroad”, their new single now available on all digital platforms, and the very first preview of their upcoming album “23”.

“Crossroad” is a song deeply rooted in the legend of Robert Johnson and his fabled pact with the devil, yet it also opens up to modern reflections: the crossroads of life, crucial choices, dreams to pursue, and the fears that so often hold us back.

The track intertwines atmospheres of hope and despair, rebellion and fate, reminding us that—despite every fall—life always offers the chance to rise again.

Musically, the song blends the raw essence of traditional blues with modern grooves, creating a unique and recognizable signature style. Adding to the magic of the single is the extraordinary contribution of Fabio Drusin (founder and frontman of W.I.N.D., with over forty years of career and collaborations with artists such as Johnny Neel, Billy Gibbons, Marc Ford, Warren Haynes, Gary Moore, and many more), who enriches the track with harmonica, tambourine, and maracas, giving it an even more visceral and authentic soul.

As Broken Wings state:

“Crossroad is the beating heart of our new album ‘23’. It’s the song that represents our musical evolution: the meeting point between past and future, between mystery, dreams, inner struggle, and transformation. Above all, it’s about choice—the invisible thread that ties every track of the album together.”

Alongside the single release, the official music video for “Crossroad” is also available, produced by the Malalinea Video Agency team, formed by Andro Peressutti & Riccardo Sabbadini.

A work crafted with top-level professionalism, it enhances the power and soul of the track with striking and visually impactful imagery.
