So Tony thinks to another kind of music, exactly the "gothic metal". Tony calls quickly Alex Martina, the bass player in the "Abhema", a trash metal band always working in Taranto, to which Roberto Raio, after takes part.
All together they begin to write the first songs, but they need a soprano female voice. The first girl answering to EoM's request is Anja Irullo that sends a file with her pure voice.
The band accepts Anja as the singer of this new group, the ELEGY OF MADNESS. To better complete the form, Marcello Lombardi, a very cleaver keyboard player, closes definitively the group giving it a classical accent
. The band played in many regions of Italy, after NIko realized that His work commitments occlude Him in carrying out the musical activity, setting back the rest of the band, too. So,he decides to record the CD and leave behind the group.
On May 2007, the group has recorded with its own resources His first product, a mini cd which contains 4 songs, entitled "Another Path". Afterwards, NIko was substituted by Roberto Raio who agree with the objectives and the desire to play of the band.
The new "Elegy of Madness" have already taken part to many live exhibitions and competitions, like Sziget Festival 2007, second of the Divine Rock Festival and Music Village ecc.
They always play in pubs or places where the kind of gothic metal music is appreciated with its invading, clear, technic and exact sound, showing the great ability of all its players.
Now the band is looking for new productions. The rest you knew before.

Reborn
Elegy of Madness Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wish you′d be a star
The light you won't replace
Sometimes I only hope
You′ll never forget my face

I'll be there
With nothing else to hide

I'll be waiting for you
My immortal star
I′ll be more than just one
I′ll be waiting

So many people run into a soul
Becoming part of the wind
So many voices come into my heart
And I'll live again

I wish you′d be my guide
In the earthly world I live

I'll be waiting for you
My immortal star
I′ll be more than just one
I'll be more than one

North wind blows
It′s not satisfied
It's calling me
I'm changing again
There′s something else to live

(It′s calling me
The wind blows

Take me away
I've no choice)

They long to be with their 'immortal star' and become more than just one, but many.

The second verse speaks of the many people who pass through our lives and become part of our souls, and how the singer will live again through these connections.
