Beauty In Chaos presents lush dreamery on 'Afterlife' ft. Tish Ciravolo from new 'Behind The Veil' LP

LA-based collective Beauty In Chaos presents their new single 'Afterlife', an atmospheric track featuring Tish Ciravolo, who also appeared on the 'Lookup' single from the group’s debut release in 2018. This is a lush and dreamy taster of their new ‘Behind The Veil’ LP, recently released in multiple formats via the label 33.3 Music Collective.

"Trying to capture a near-death experience in a song is an experience that I never knew I would be able to creatively achieve. Sharing a solo imagery, a solo experience, something that only I had seen in my mind's eye, then conveying that through lyrics that made sense was my heavenly assignment. Then, trying to explain that cataclysm, that crescendo to a filmmaker to help capture those moments was the crux” says Tish Ciravolo

“This video brings my own experience between Heaven and Hell and brought out that light, that extremely beautiful contrast, the emotional pull of those few moments between life and death, like I could never have dreamed or imagined.”

Recorded, mixed and produced by Grammy nominated producer Michael Rozon, This all-female featured collection brings back three BIC alumni – Tish Ciravolo, Cinthya Hussey and Betsy Martin – as well as new family members Whitney Tai, Elena Alice Fossi and Pinky Turzo. Apart from six originals, this release features diverse reworkings by such renowned music visionaries as Tim Palmer, MGT, John Fryer, Statik, Tommy Hatz, Julian Shah-Tayler and Rozon himself.

“When the music to this track started to come together in the studio, before any lyrics, I knew this would be the album’s lead-off ‘needle drop’ song. It just felt right. The track has a sort of non-traditional arrangement. I thought it would be a bit challenging for most singers. I loved what my wife had done on 'Lookup”' putting herself into the lyrics, yet having a message of hope," BIC curator Michael Ciravolo.

"When Michael Rozon and I heard what she did with the track … turning it into a song, we were both ecstatic. I usually go with my first instinct on things, and, to me, 'Afterlife' is the perfect opener for this album. It sets a mood I wanted, and Michael Rozon’s production is second to none."

Earlier, Beauty In Chaos released the singles 'Orion' ft. Whitney Tai, 'Kiss of the World' ft. Kirlian Camera’s Elena Alice Fossi, and 'Grasp The Stars' featuring Caterwaul front-woman Betsy Martin,

As with all BIC releases, a 25-track digital version is included with all physical copies of the 'Behind The Veil' LP. As part of a Limited Edition 2-CD set, 33.3 Music Collective has also released the bonus CD ‘‘Further Behind The Veil’, featuring remixes by Paul Wiley (Marilyn Manson), Sin Quirin (Ministry), Kitty Lectro, Bentley Jones, Roman Marisak, Kevin Kipnis, Julian Shah-Tayler and The Phoenix Supernova, as well as an extended album version of 'Orion'.

The ‘Behind The Veil’ LP is out now on CD and limited-run vinyl. Digitally, it is available across streaming platforms, including Bandcamp. All formats can also be ordered directly from the artist at https://www.beautyinchaosmusic.com/music-store.

Beauty In Chaos releases 'Behind The Veil' LP with all-female vocal lineup, plus video for 'Grasp The Stars' ft. Betsy Martin

LA-based label 33.3 Music Collective has announced the release of ‘Behind The Veil’, the highly-anticipated new album from Beauty In Chaos. Recorded, mixed and produced by Grammy nominated producer Michael Rozon, this all-female featured collection brings back three BIC alumni – Tish Ciravolo, Cinthya Hussey and Betsy Martin – as well as new family members Whitney Tai, Elena Alice Fossi and Pinky Turzo.

"The concept of this all female release started to take form when we added “Stranger” (ft. Kat Leon) as the closing track of ‘The Storm Before The Calm’. It was a bit different than the rest of the album, but it turned into the perfect lead-in to the direction of this new record,” says BIC curator Michael Ciravolo.

"Our past formula has been to follow up each of our two albums with a remix record. This time I decided to change the script a bit and include a remix of each song on ‘Behind The Veil’.”

Earlier, Beauty In Chaos released the singles 'Orion' ft. Whitney Tai and 'Kiss of the World' ft. Elena Alice Fossi. In addition to the six new songs, this release features some diverse re-envisions by Tim Palmer, MGT, John Fryer, Statik, Tommy Hatz, Julian Shah-Tayler and Michael Rozon.

An evolving and revolving collective, Beauty In Chaos also presents the video for 'Grasp The Stars' featuring Caterwaul front-woman Betsy Martin, the album’s dark and heavy closer. Industrialism Films created what Ciravolo describes as a “homage to the ’87-’88 Scream scene in Los Angeles”. Scream was a popular darkwave club, where Ciravolo’s former band Human Drama and Martin’s Caterwaul were staples.

Betsy Martin notes, “The music took me to a place of being in a meteor shower of emotion. It brought out feelings of how we sometimes create unhappiness for ourselves with manipulation brought on by pain, causing such confusion. I could visualize dodging these sharp and pointy damaging stars of thoughts whizzing by in my head. The music travels a celestial path to a calm after a storm.”

33.3 Music is releasing ‘Behind The Veil’ on CD and limited-run vinyl. As with all BIC releases, a 25-track digital version is included with all physical copies. Ciravoloimparts “I am blessed with a lot of talented friends that created more remixes than would fit into the time-constraints of the CD. I value everyone’s time and talents, so I convinced 33.3 to release ‘Further Behind The Veil’, which contains these additional re-envisions as part of a limited edition 2-CD set.”

The Limited Edition 2-CD Set contains the bonus CD ‘Further Behind The Veil’, which includes additional remixes by Paul Wiley (Marilyn Manson), Sin Quirin (Ministry), Kitty Lectro, Bentley Jones, Roman Marisak, Kevin Kipnis, Julian Shah-Tayler and The Phoenix Supernova, as well as an extended album version of 'Orion'.

The ‘Behind The Veil’ album is available across streaming platforms, including Bandcamp. It can also be obtained, in all formats, directly from Beauty In Chaos' online store at https://www.beautyinchaosmusic.com/music-store.

Beauty In Chaos presents lush single 'The Kiss of the World' ft. Elena Alice Fossi (Kirlian Camera, Spectra Paris)

"Stunning musical and, in particular, six-string intricacy... layers of lush, ringing, occasionally grimy and often heavily effected guitars" Guitar World

"Guitarist Michael Ciravolo assembled an all-star cast for his moody hard-hitting album... Intense"Rolling Stone

"Hauntingly heavy and beautiful"LA Weekly

"A rich sonic palette of unabashed gothic rock and post-punk romanticism, that reverberates through the varied inputs of a melange of musicians who are masters of their craft"Post-Punk.com

Los Angeles-based alt rock / post-punk collective Beauty in Chaos presents 'The Kiss Of The World' featuring statuesque Italian rock-goddess Elena Alice Fossi,the second single from their forthcoming album ‘Behind the Veil’,

This single follows the autumn single ‘Orion’ ft. Whitney Tai. This long-player, which features all female vocalists, is scheduled for release on 2.22.22 via Los Angeles' 33.3 Music Collective.

“Musically and lyrically, this song encompasses what Beauty In Chaos is to me. Sonic textures with elements of chaos, wrapped in layers of beauty,” says BIC curator Michael Ciravolo.

Vicente Cordero’s Industrialism Films was enlisted to bring this dystopian video concept to life. Ciravolo explains, “What drew me to Elena, besides her incredible voice, was that her lyrics are deep, intelligent and interpretive. It was her stage persona and a couple of interviews I had seen of her that sparked the ‘1984-big brother / V is for Vendetta’ concept. Vicente’s team did a great job of pulling these elements together … marrying Elena’s footage (filmed in Italy by famed photographer Francesco Licata) with our sets”.

Elena Alice Fossi is perhaps best known as frontwoman of Kirlian Camera, as well as her electronic pop project SPECTRA*paris. A singer, composer and producer, she is lauded for being at the forefront of European alternative music, her range of musical output spanning electro, darkwave, future pop, alternative rock and synthpop.

“No, it's not a love relationship that ended badly, as it might seem on the surface. This story's plot is instead enclosed in the domination and deception that, perpetrated over time, have generated a zombified society, where the living dead obey an authority which in turn is the servant of stronger occult powers. And it's these powers that pull the strings of a comedy in which consumerism, betrayal and manipulation are the masters," says Elena Alice Fossi.

"The tyranny is well hidden and the slave doesn't know he is, because he finds himself in a maelstrom of materialism and "online drugs" that make him unaware and helpless. But things are about to be turned around and this flawed system will be cornered. Satan's mighty valet has pulled the rope to such an extent that it finally breaks and the lies that have long been embellished now reveal their true face. The hour of the rescue is going to come because not a few are awakening from the long torpor”

Beauty in Chaos is the brainchild of guitarist Michael Ciravolo. The LA-based New Orleans native is also President of Schecter Guitar Research. Until launching BIC, Ciravolo was guitarist in Human Drama for 30 years and had also played live and recorded with Michael Aston’s Gene Loves Jezebel since 1998.

In 2020, Beauty In Chaos released ‘The Storm Before The Calm’ and the remix-based ‘Out Of Chaos Comes…’ albums to critical acclaim. Recorded at Ciravolo's SAINTinLA Studio, this LP was produced by Grammy nominee Michael Rozon, known for his work with Ministry.

Since its inception, Beauty In Chaos has involved many music luminaries, including members of The Mission, The Cure, Ministry, Cheap Trick, The Offspring, Gene Loves Jezebel, Marilyn Manson, Human Drama, Bauhaus, Nine Inch Nails, Van Halen, A Flock of Seagulls, as well as dUg Pinnick (Kings X), ICE-T, producer Tim Palmer, guitar icon Zakk Wylde, Ashton Nyte (The Awakening), Evi Vine and Rolan Bolan.

As of December 2, 'The Kiss of The World' will be available via Apple Musicand Bandcamp. The full ‘Behind the Veil’ album will be released on February 22, 2022. Beauty In Chaos' catalogue can also be explored at https://www.beautyinchaosmusic.com/music-store

LA collective Beauty In Chaos and Whitney Tai mesmerize on new single 'Orion'

"Stunning musical and, in particular, six-string intricacy... layers of lush, ringing, occasionally grimy and often heavily effected guitars" Guitar World

"Guitarist Michael Ciravolo assembled an all-star cast for his moody hard-hitting album... Intense" Rolling Stone

"Hauntingly heavy and beautiful"LA Weekly

Los Angeles-based alt rock / post-punk collective Beauty in Chaos has released their new single 'Orion', along with a stunning otherworldly video, both of which feature the captivating Whitney Tai.

Beauty in Chaos is the brainchild of guitarist Michael Ciravolo. The LA-based New Orleans native is also President of Schecter Guitar Research. Until launching BIC, Ciravolo was guitarist in Human Drama for 30 years and had also played live and recorded with Michael Aston’s Gene Loves Jezebel since 1998.

“Musically, Orion continues on the path set by 'Stranger', the final track on ‘The Storm Before The Calm’ album. Whitney’s lyrics and soaring voice were a perfect match for this track and sets the tone beautifully for our next record,” says BIC curator Michael Ciravolo.

In 2020, Beauty In Chaos released ‘The Storm Before The Calm’ and the remix-based ‘Out Of Chaos Comes…’ albums to critical acclaim. Recorded at Ciravolo's SAINTinLA Studio, this LP was produced by Grammy nominee Michael Rozon, known for his work with Ministry.

“When Beauty In Chaos reached out to me with the opportunity to co-write on a song for their upcoming album, I was immediately hypnotized by the glacial, meandering and crystalline use of guitars against this haunting and dark verbed-out atmosphere. My mind went down the rabbit hole of the past two years that our globe has faced. 'Orion' is the ego of destruction," says Whitney Tai.

"It’s about breaking free from the manipulators mind and severing the ties of deception. A story of an a-type personality, “the hunter”, and how the roles narcissism and exploitation torment the fears and strengths of the human psyche”.

Bridging a cosmic cross between Annie Lennox's timeless vocals and Kate Bush's lyricism, Whitney Tai crafts unique pop-rock anthems and melodic synthpop passages. With trademark seductive compositions, the award-winning singer-songwriter's hypnotic voice, weaving seamlessly through genres.

“We try to make each of our videos different from the others, while being true to the singer and the lyrics. 'Orion' is like nothing we have done before; it has a very cinematic ‘big-screen’ look to it… and was really a lot of fun to make," says Ciravolo.

Since its inception, BIC has involved many music luminaries, including members of The Mission, The Cure, Ministry, Cheap Trick, The Offspring, Gene Loves Jezebel, Marilyn Manson, Human Drama, Bauhaus, Nine Inch Nails, Van Halen, A Flock of Seagulls, as well as dUg Pinnick (Kings X), ICE-T, producer Tim Palmer, guitar icon Zakk Wylde, Ashton Nyte (The Awakening), Evi Vine and Rolan Bolan.

'Orion' will be included on the next Beauty In Chaos album ‘Behind The Veil’, which will feature all female vocalists and is slated for release in February 2022 via Los Angeles' 33.3 Music Collective. In the meantime, 'Orion' is available across the internet at https://beautyinchaos.hearnow.com/orion and via Bandcamp.
