this is the most romantic song altogether that ive ever heard! my friend patrick turned me on to LUDO and theyre the greatest! this is like a movie in words...
Such a fun album and interestingly delivered story!! Listening to the songs separately, you can't appreciate or understand the epicness of this album. One must sit down, listen to the lyrics, and imagine the actions being delivered and the words said. Only then do you realize the true epicness and tragedy that is the Broken Bride.
Very true. Before I heard the entire thing, I heard individual songs in my friend's car. Then I looked it up on here and found this, and I was like "Holy wow, I never knew it was so good!!" and of course I cried at the end.
okay so i think this is the story: On a May morning in 1989, this guy's wife gets into a car accident and dies. He is so heartbroken that he builds a time machine and tries to go back in time to save her. First, he ends up going way to far back to the dinosaurs and almost dies. He manages to get back to it, but goes to far forward and ends up at the end of the world. It's basically a combanation of zombies and death and a dragon god thing. He helps to fight the evil things and basically saves everyone. But he is crying and stuff because his machine is out of fuel and he can't go back. The god things are like "dude you just saved humanity why are you crying" and hes like "listen I don't even want to save my wife anymore I just want to say goodbye" and they're like "lol okay why didn't you say so" and he gets transported to the morning his wife is going to die. He's amazed that he finally gets to see her again, but soon realizes that shes just going to die in the crash all over again. So instead of being left behind, he gets into the car with her, and they die together. Pretty sad story. Also how great would it be if there was a musical based on this album like holy shit that would be so cool.
As someone who has never been a fan of this kind of music (I am one of those 'hurrdurr I only like Metal' people), this album is superbly delivered. The climax in Morning in May is a killer. Hits me every time.
Can we make May Time Traveler appreciation month? People like The Broken Bride Traveler, The Doctor, and Emmett Brown; true time heros. PS May 20th, Never forget...
I almost positive that the 'end of time' songs (Save our City, and Part 3 The Lamb and The Dragon) were were full of metaphors relating to a religious Armageddon. This is really just my interpretation of the story So there are 4 groups or factions in the story, The Dragon, The King, The Faithful, and The Tyrant/Lord. (Now I don't agree with some of these religious views, this is how I interpret the story) The Dragon would be Satan. The King is the fictonal character King Simius, the leader of an army, the worldy rebellion against Heaven and Hell (the bible strongly suggests that there will be a mass disowning of God before Armageddon) both the King and those allied with him refer to God as the Tyrant. The Faithful are the ones "huddled in camps on the old marble steps of city hall", they are probably at city hall because their church had been burned down ("the mission burns") and are seeking refuge and comfort from the mayor, a man who was once a faithful man but in the end he lost faith and pledged himself to The King, the Faithful are the only ones that refer to God as Lord. I'm sure you get the idea I'm getting at, I would have to write for a few more hours to finish my view of the story :\ so I will leave it at that.
Great theme EP. Listening to predominately metal, I come across many theme albums, there are quite a few in the power metal and melodic death metal sub genres, but this is great for rock. It reminds me of My Chemical Romance "three cheers for sweet revenge", which is kind of poppy like this.
Andrew Volpe is working on a novel trilogy expanding on the story. Though I think he's taken a hiatus on it for the time being to focus on raising his daughter.
Jordan Zavesky Me too! He'd posted some excerpts on his blog while he was still working on it, and it sounded fantastic. Although I'd settle for some new Ludo music and/or a tour, too...hahah
warhawk009 That he did. But I kinda took the album as a reinterpretation/ homage to "The Time Machine" rather than a knock off. And considering how much of H.G. Well's work has been reinterpreted/ outright ripped off, I am just glad this one is of A) high quality and B) has enough of their own ideas and a kickass ending to make it worth the ride.
Congratulations you have just rewrote the film adaptation of the Time Machine by HG wells. Except, you have replaced the ape like creatures and the thing that controls them with stuff that hipsters like. Such as zombies and dragons.
Mike Campbell Er, no. The book of Revelation did not predict a zombie apocalypse in the guise of George A. Ramero. It mentioned a beast and and people rising from the dead but were not undead in the sense we have today. Also the beast was compared to a dragon though it was not actually a dragon. Every religion has this story btw. The twilight of the gods is very similar. Er, no. Andrew said he had wrote the first song and wanted to continue the story and it ended up spinning out of control. They inserted things that they liked ergo, zombies and dragons. Preparations follows many of the same themes (Zombies) because that is what they like. Er, no. superimposing your own meaning on top what the actual story is. Er, no. Unoriginal story taken from an obscure movie. Er, no. Hipsters.
One of the most amazing albums written by one of the least amazing bands. Bravo, but please, cmon guys. What the heck is with the rest of your music...

Put this on before I took a half-nap. Psychedelic and beautiful.
The last song kills me "back so soon baby? but I smile because I never left at all"

there's a musical based off of this, I believe. I think college kids acted it out, or something.
Maddie Baker Oh, cool! I'll have to look it up. TY!
I may be wrong, but I hope your search doesn't turn up fruitless. this is also classified as a Rockopera
Still my favorite concept album of all time. Would LOVE to see this as a stage show.
It is.
Green Day's American Idiot and this are tied for me.

We are alike in many ways
SpeciousUsername I feel pretty much completely the same.
The Lamb and the Dragon is probably the most metal thing they've done.
This needs more views.
EP of the century maybe?
Thanks for the upload, broski.
I love this album so much
This story is just so sad, but I love it!
Love this!
Can we make May Time Traveler appreciation month? People like The Broken Bride Traveler, The Doctor, and Emmett Brown; true time heros.
PS May 20th, Never forget...
EXCALIBUR!!!!
love it
at 5:20 in this album I think this is what most of the world leaders would do if this happened to them
Andrew is actually turning this album into a novel trilogy.
Very True...

Awesome first
Damnit! I told myself I wasn't gonna cry this time ;_;
This is me every time. "I'll listen to Broken Bride, but I won't cry this time". At this point I'm just lying to myself.
Great theme EP. Listening to predominately metal, I come across many theme albums, there are quite a few in the power metal and melodic death metal sub genres, but this is great for rock. It reminds me of My Chemical Romance "three cheers for sweet revenge", which is kind of poppy like this.
So I kinda want to write a novel loosely based on this album, it's just a thought though
Andrew Volpe is working on a novel trilogy expanding on the story. Though I think he's taken a hiatus on it for the time being to focus on raising his daughter.
Ooo well I hope he starts it up again so I can read it!
Jordan Zavesky Me too! He'd posted some excerpts on his blog while he was still working on it, and it sounded fantastic. Although I'd settle for some new Ludo music and/or a tour, too...hahah
H.G. Wells already did a novel of this.
warhawk009 That he did. But I kinda took the album as a reinterpretation/ homage to "The Time Machine" rather than a knock off. And considering how much of H.G.

but its beautiful
why is it that the last song makes me more depressed then i already am?
Jacob McBride Who the fuck do you think you are??
Dextiery Not that I agree with your aggression, I'm just liking the passion right there. Fuck yea.
+Jacob McBride (Zombiewalrus) *than
This tho
