Brocarde Releases Cover of “The Sound of Music”

Hold onto your rosaries — the hills are alive… with goth chaos. Multi-talented artist, occult icon, and ghost whisperer Brocarde has ripped the wholesome heart out of the beloved classic “The Sound of Music” and resurrected it as a dark, theatrical metal spectacle. Yes. You read that right. The woman who famously married a ghost after a near-death experience — and later became his ex-wife — is back, and she’s turning cinema’s most saccharine singalong into a séance-fuelled fever dream.

But this isn’t Julie Andrews skipping through alpine meadows. This is lace, leather, and lingering spirits. Known for conducting a séance for Lemmy, Brocarde has never done anything halfway — and this cover is no exception. Operatic vocals collide with thunderous metal instrumentation as the cinematic darling is dragged, beautifully and dramatically, into the underworld.

Described as “unhinged” (and proudly so), the track is a gothic reinvention that feels less like a cover and more like a possession.

Brocarde’s musical and visual world has always blurred the lines between performance and paranormal. A bridge between realms, she channels heartbreak, mysticism, and high drama into everything she creates, and this latest release may be her boldest summoning yet. From ghost bride to goth queen of musical theatre mayhem, Brocarde proves once again: the afterlife has a killer soundtrack.

After unleashing her unhinged metal transformation of “The Sound of Music,” paranormal provocateur Brocarde is revealing the emotional storm brewing beneath the corsets and chaos — and it’s darker than anyone imagined. Produced by studio heavy-hitter Chris Collier (the man behind legends like Korn, Whitesnake and Mick Mars), this isn’t just a cover. It’s a reckoning.

And at the heart of it? A dying wish. Brocarde admits the song was the first she ever learned to sing, coached by her beloved grandmother at the piano. But behind the childhood nostalgia lurked something far more haunting. She hid under the piano. She refused to sing. She feared the “happiness” it represented. Years later, when her nan passed away, she made a heartbreaking request: sing “The Sound of Music” at her funeral.

Brocarde tried. She couldn’t. She confesses:

“I was an absolute wreck. I couldn’t sing the words. I could barely speak them.”

That promise would linger. Now, in a full-circle moment worthy of gothic legend, Brocarde has resurrected the song — not as a sweet cinematic singalong, but as a thunderous outpouring of grief and fury. She reveals:

“It’s not about genre. It’s my internal grief and anger attaching to each note.”

And in a twist straight from a supernatural screenplay, it was a trip to Salzburg — the birthplace of the beloved musical — that triggered her epiphany. There, surrounded by the legacy of the classic, she realized we never shed our past selves… we carry them like spirits.

This is the same Brocarde who married the ghost of a Victorian soldier named Edwardo on Halloween 2022 — before divorcing him six months later. The spectral romance catapulted her onto This Morning, Say Yes to the Dress, and later First Dates after their otherworldly split. She even conducted a séance in honour of Lemmy at Wacken Open Air, proving once again that Brocarde doesn’t just walk between worlds — she headlines them.
