UK dark synth icons Massive Ego have returned with a striking new single, "Broken Tomorrow", featuring none other than Boy George. The brooding yet richly textured piece arrives hand‑in‑hand with an equally evocative music video. The track offers the first glimpse into the band’s forthcoming full‑length, Symphony Of Flies, set for release on 8 May via Out Of Line Music — perfectly timed ahead of their appearance at the Out Of Line Weekender Festival in Berlin.
Celebrating three decades of creative defiance, Massive Ego step into their 30th anniversary with an album that promises to be one of their most uncompromising statements yet. Across its ten tracks, Symphony Of Flies delves into themes of collapse, rebirth, and metamorphosis, all delivered through the band’s unmistakable fusion of darkwave melancholy, glam‑tinged drama, EBM pulse, and industrial‑pop sheen.
The spotlight, however, falls squarely on "Broken Tomorrow", a collaboration that has been quietly waiting in the wings for 30 years. Frontman Marc Massive and Boy George first crossed paths during George’s Jesus Loves You era — and now, decades later, their voices finally intertwine on a track already being hailed as "a darkly gothic ballad for our times."
Echoes of Boy George’s "The Crying Game" period ripple through the song’s sonic palette: mournful synth layers, sweeping guitar atmospheres, and a lyrical core steeped in vulnerability. George’s unmistakable vocals cut through the gloom with a sense of wounded elegance, amplifying the song’s themes of heartbreak, isolation, and emotional reckoning. Link
