Mandragora Scream

Tuscan gothic metal band led by vocalist/composer Morgan Lacroix, noted for atmospheric, gothic-romantic music and the 2006 concept album Madhouse.

From the DeBaser review: Mandragora Scream is described as a Tuscan combo. Morgan Lacroix is identified as the band's leader and composer; Terry Horn is mentioned as guitarist and collaborator. The band had a contract with Nuclear Blast and released two earlier albums, "Fairy Tales from Hell's Caves" and "A Whisper of Dew"; in 2006 they self-produced and released the concept album "Madhouse". The Madhouse concept (as described in the review) is set in 1312 and follows a character named Vera interned in the asylum of Molanvert.

Madhouse is described as a concept piece with symphonic and electronic touches and ranked highly among Italian gothic metal releases of 2006.
