Siska - Broken Dreams

Broken Dreams is not just an album - it’s a journey. A concept record that unfolds like a cinematic story, this work dives deep into the fractures of time, memory, and resistance. Across eleven tracks, SISKA and Tim "Ripper" Owens lead us through crumbling empires, haunted streets, forgotten heroes, and inner battles that echo across centuries. The album has been mixed and mastered by Max Norman, one of the most respected names in rock and metal production. Norman is a legendary British producer and sound engineer who defined the sound of multiple generations of heavy metal. His career includes landmark works such as Ozzy Osbourne's Blizzard of Ozz and Diary of a Madman, Megadeth's Rust in Peace and Countdown to Extinction, and Loudness' Thunder in the East. His unmistakable touch brings world-class clarity, power, and authenticity to Broken Dreams, making it an essential release for fans of timeless hard rock and heavy metal. The songs speak of a world on the edge - where history is twisted, truth is burned at the stake, dreams are shattered, and the spirit refuses to die. From the roaring chaos of Gangster to the rebellious fire of Thunderbird, from the devastation of Broken Dreams to the sacred tragedy of Mother Nature, the album explores both the grandeur and the downfall of the human condition. Instrumental pieces like Last Days, Daydream, and The Inexorable Passage of Time offer breathing space - moments of reflection before the storm returns. This is an album about standing tall as the world collapses, about keeping the fire alive inside a tomb of silence, about returning - even when time says you cannot. - Features Tim “Ripper” Owens (ex-Judas Priest, Malmsteen, Iced Earth) on vocals - For fans of: Alice Cooper, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Megadeth, Black Label Society, Whitesnake, Metallica, Motörhead, Slayer, Guns N' Roses, Helloween, Mötley Crüe, Bon Jovi, Ozzy Osbourne, Skid Row, L.A.
