Dark alt-rock duo Lovelorn Dolls releases 'Beautiful Chaos' EP and haunting video

Female-fronted dark gothic synth-rock duo Lovelorn Dolls presents 'Beautiful Chaos', the second tale unleashed from their fourth album 'Deadtime Stories', in which the band break free from the dreamy realms of goth pop offered on their latest single 'Dream World'.

An ode to love stories gone wrong, here they inject some beautiful chaos into our lives. With the disclaimer "Any resemblance to real people is purely coincidental", the accompanying video thrusts their tiny girl protagonist into a descent towards a darker world, trapping her in an padded asylum room haunted by beautifully chaotic characters.

Hailing from Brussels, Belgium, Lovelorn Dolls is made up of Kristell Lowagie (lyrics, vocals, arrangements) and Bernard Daubresse (music, programming, guitars, production). Purveyors of synth-laced gothic rock, their sound resembles a mix of Theatre of Tragedy, Lacuna Coil and The Birthday Massacre.

Just as childhood can be drawn into a fantasy world, Lovelorn Dolls leads us into an extraordinary, dark yet romantic universe where Tim Burton's visuals collide with the glam touch of The Birthday Massacre and freaky extravaganza of Marilyn Manson - a landscape where creepy cute meets gothic rock music.

'Beautiful Chaos' reveals a grittier and darker side of the band, featuring intense guitar riffs, twisted synth melodies and haunting female vocals.  This sonic journey is rounded out with five bonus remixes, each delving into diverse sound universes - from minimal EBM to industrial goth and ethereal wave - thanks to contributors The Breath of Life, Absynthe of Faith, Audiopyre, Restriction 9 and Antidote for Annie.

Produced, mixed and mastered by Italian producer Maxx Maryan, known for his work with cult electro-goth metal duo Helalyn Flowers and IMJUDAS, the 'Deadtime Stories' album will be released in late summer via Alfa Matrix / SPLEEN+, a Belgian label whose catalogue includes such artists as Front 242, Ayria, Recoil, Leather Strip and Alien Vampires.

"Locked in the Room of Despair: Step inside the eerie confines of an asylum, where our characters find themselves trapped in a room of despair. This video explores psychological struggles, haunting visions, and intense emotions that manifest within these walls. As the music unfolds, so too does the unraveling mystery of each character's story," frontwoman Kristell Lowagie speaks of the new chaotic tale.

"As the music unfolds, so too does the unraveling mystery of each character's story. The idea behind this song is to talk about divorce or separation in the broad sense, especially when a relationship is toxic. In general, the problems do not stop there, especially when there are children who become an issue or a means of pressure. Sometimes it gets even more chaotic. As for the title of the song 'Beautiful Chaos', it is of course to be taken ironically.".

'Beautiful Chaos' is  out now, available from fine digital platforms, including Apple Music, Spotify and Bandcamp, where the band's full catalogue can also be found.

BrokenRail Release New Single & Music Video, "DEMON IN DISGUISE"

@BrokenRail "Demon In Disguise" from the album Beautiful Chaos available November 13 https://orcd.co/brokenrail_beautiful_chaos www.BrokenRailBand.com www.fa...

New LP, BEAUTIFUL CHAOS,' Out NOW!

Birmingham, AL based , Hard Rock / Metal band BrokenRail has released the official music music video for their new single, "DEMON IN DISGUISE. "Directed by Alan Collins, "DEMON IN DISGUISE" off of the band's newly released album with Cleopatra Records, BEAUTIFUL CHAOS, which was produced, mixed, engineered, and recorded by Joseph McQueen at Sparrow Sound in Los Angeles, CA.

"We wanted to go in a different direction for the video for 'Demon in Disguise.' We chose an abstract theme for such a lyrically ambiguous song. Demon is a deep dive into the splinters of darkness that we allow to imprison us, enlighten us, or liberate us. Whether it's addiction, depression, toxic relationships, etc, sometimes we give in to the temptation of the easiest route in exchange for our own salvation. We enter into these scenarios thinking we can control them, but as is often the case we overstep our boundaries or abilities and fall into this ever revolving trap we just cannot escape from. At the time, the allure seems to be somehow worth the risk, but sometimes you find yourself in a directionless void. We're so excited to present to you our 2nd release off of our label debut album, 'Demon in Disguise'!" - Blake Clawson / Vocalist

"After a year-long journey navigating the uncharted waters as musicians, we left LA on top of the world in January only to fall like everyone else into the uncertainty and grinding halt of being thrust into a global pandemic. After sacrificing so much to pull this album off by walking away from day jobs, missing important events, living off savings, and time away from our families, this was to be our busiest year with so much on the horizon and then the world felt like it ended for us. 2020 has now become a story of adapting and learning to survive through the harshest of environments, to fight when it feels there's little strength left and yet somehow move forward. This album encaptures this spirit at every turn. Whether it's truthful tales of facing one's own demons in titles such as 'Beautiful Chaos', 'Nightmare', 'Demon in Disguise', & 'The Haunted', or overcoming extreme adversity in songs like 'On My Own', 'Reignite', and 'Never Be The Same' there's something for everyone on this album. The songs perfectly flow from one to the other telling a story of our journey and the ups and downs that have brought us to this very moment. Over the past couple of months we've released two singles, 'The Hate' and 'Creatures', introducing a new sound from BrokenRail showcasing our heavier side and a new direction, the evolution of the band. The album still captures classic BrokenRail through multiple styles, bleeding the lines between rock, hard rock, & metal along the way. We truly feel like fans of the new sound as well as fans from the past will collectively enjoy this album from beginning to end. We're so excited to finally release this to the world!" - Blake Clawson / Vocalist
