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.
