BornBroken Unleashes Poetic Death/Thrash Metal Video For âAm I Invisibleâ + Tour Dates
New Album âAm I Invisibleâ Out Now!
L-R: Mike Marino (Bass) | Michael Decker (Vocals/Guitar) | Rob Henx (Lead Guitar) | Carlos Ojeda (Drums)
âCanadaâs BornBroken recently released their third album âAm I Invisibleâ this past September and to keep the momentum up, they are now releasing the music video for the title track directed by Chris Kells of The Agonist. This pummeling display of death and thrash metal complements the visceral and provocative lyrics the band members work hard to craft. They share their thoughts:
âWe wanted to use our music to call for unity and empathy. This album is not just a collection of songs; itâs a message, a call to action for anyone who feels unheard or unseen. Weâve always aimed to create music that tells a story, and âAm I Invisibleâ is our most ambitious story yet. The themes of invisibility, isolation, and resilience are universal, and we wanted to convey them through powerful lyrics and compelling music.â
For BornBroken, each track brings out different emotions, from the stress and monotony captured in â7 Mondaysâ to the introspective nature of âWill You Rememberâ. Songs like âAge of Angerâ address the division and intolerance we see every day. The band goes on to express gratitude to their current fans for their unwavering support and hope that the albums resonate deeply with them.
BornBroken delivers a no-nonsense, straight-up metal approach, they write what they want to write, with a personal approach and death metal roots. They pay homage to their influences and invite other metalheads along for the ride. They are recommended for fans of Slipknot, Chimaira, and Decapitated.

“Am I Invisible and is a sonic soiree in waiting for those who like their metal I the neighbourhood of early Machine Head, post-Roots Sepultura, Lamb of God and Fear Factory resplendent with big guitars, bigger grooves and the biggest choruses.” – Decibel Magazineâ
â
â“… the song (âHow Strong You Areâ) includes an anthemic and inspirational chorus, where the vocals rise into impassioned singing. But donât expect music that feels like itâs seeing the world through rose-colored glasses. The music itself puts up with no excuses, but instead punches fast and damned hard. Backed by battering percussion and thundering basslines, the song includes fiery, writhing riffage and hard-slugging, high-howling hardcore fury. It does soar in the catchy chorus, but even there the vocals also rabidly snarl, and the band always return to pile-driving the listenerâs neck, punctuated by some start-stop bursts of high-speed jackhammering and gruesomely growled words. On top of all that, the song includes a fluidly slithering and swirling guitar that itself spirals high, and a finale in which the vocals become truly harsh and scarring while the band inflict one last brute-force beating.” – NoCleanSinging
“Am I Invisible is an exceptional addition to BornBrokenâs discography. Itâs a brutal, soul-baring album that blends aggression with melody in a way that feels fresh and relevant. For fans of metal that isnât afraid to confront its own vulnerability while maintaining a fierce edge, Am I Invisible is a must-listen. BornBroken is a band on the rise, and this album proves they are not to be ignored.” – Jace Media Musicâ
â
â“”Am I Invisible” by BornBroken is a masterful exploration of the human experience. Its blend of aggressive metal with deeply personal themes creates an album that is both thought-provoking and sonically impressive.” – Din Intunerecâ
â
â“BORNBROKEN, a name to remember which risks making a lot of noise with this monstrous and devastating new album from Neo Death Thrash groove with a little touch of subtlety.” – OdyMetalâ
â
â“a solid slab of metal with no time for melodic interludes and once it gets on course, they do not deviate one iota. Itâs this blinker on approach makes the album as strong as it is… a powerful statement of intent.- Metal Epidemicâ
â
â“Am I Invisible is a narrative that invites one to reflect on their own experiences. Each track, from the overwhelming stress of â7 Mondaysâ to the introspective nature of âWill You Remember,â is a chapter in a broader story about the highs and lows of life. BornBrokenâs dedication to their craft is evident. Theyâve poured their hearts into this album and it shows in the intensity of their performances and the authenticity of their lyrics. Itâs an exceptional and bold exploration of the struggles we all face and is music that speaks to the heart of the human experience while delivering relentless metal energy.” – Amplify The Noise
