Beauty In Chaos presents ‘Hollow’ ft. Cynthia Isabella from latest ‘Signs In The Heavens Reality Upside Down’ album

April 9, 2025

The evolving revolving world-wide entity known as Beauty In Chaos presents ‘Hollow’ (Crimson Cupid Mix)’ with stunning ethereal vocals by Cynthia Isabella. The video for this ‘goth-gaze’ version was filmed and directed by Vicente Cordero (Industrialism Films) and edited by Ryan Conlon with additional footage from Isabella.

This is the second taste of their latest album ‘Signs In The Heavens Reality Upside Down’, recently released via 33.3 Music Collective. In following with BIC's modus operandi, this 29-track Limited Edition double-CD offers re-envisioned versions of tracks from their fourth studio release, 'Dancing With Angels', along with two bonus tracks.

Based in Los Angeles, Beauty In Chaos formed in 2018 by guitarist Michael Ciravolo(formerly of Human Drama and Gene Loves Jezebel and current President of Schecter Guitars) with Grammy-nominated producer Michael Rozon (Ministry, Jarboe, Wayne Hussey, The Melvins), who also mixed and co-produced Ministry’s upcoming ‘Squirrelly Years’ album (out in summer 2025).

“I feel ‘Hollow’ is a standout track on ‘Dancing With Angels’, but thought with Cynthia and I’s mutual affinity for ‘90s shoegaze, we could show it in a different light. Michael Rozon and I redid everything except Cynthia’s original vocals…. Revamping the chords and adding a judicious amount of fuzz and reverb drenched guitars!!” Ciravolo also alluded that the ‘crimson cupid’ moniker given to this re-envision was more than a slight nod to My Bloody Valentine!” says Michael Ciravolo.

“We shot the ‘band’ footage to the album version of ‘Hollow’ while on set of ‘Diving For Pearls’. When we recorded this remix version, Cynthia and I thought we could morph in some new footage, and with some ‘movie magic’, I think we got a beautiful visual throwback to those great ‘90s 4AD/Creation videos!”

Ciravolo’s and Isabella’s paths crossed by chance when her band Silence in The Snowwas performing at The Echo in Los Angeles. Her new project Lost Gems is a collaboration with producer Alex DeGroot (co-producer and live multi-instrumentalist for Zola Jesus).

“We talked after about a shared love for many bands and musicians. After we collaborated on ‘Hollow’, we decided to pursue a remix version inspired by our admiration for Lush, MBV and Slowdive, which has turned out to be a really fun and beautiful experience! Being invited into the BIC collective and creating music with truly good people is a gift,” says Cynthia Isabella.

Earlier, Beauty In Chaos shared a ‘back-to-back’ video of 'Children Of The Revolution' featuring Ministry’s Al Jourgensen on vocals and 'Open Your Eyes', paying homage to T.Rex / Marc Bolan and The Lords of the New Church, respectively.

Returning participants in the chaos-fun include Ashton Nyte, Mark Gemini Thwaite, Kitty Lectro, Tyler Bates, Kevin Kipnis and Julian Shah-Tayler, with a cast of newcomers as William Faith (The Bellwether Syndicate), Frontal Boundary and Combichrist’s Andy LaPlegua. Beauty In Chaos also worked with Ashton Nyte and Cynthia Isabella to create two ‘almost acoustic’ versions of their songs, which Ciravolo cites amongst his favorites.

Previous BIC releases involve members of The Cure, Ministry, Cheap Trick, The Offspring, Gene Loves Jezebel, Marilyn Manson, Human Drama, Bauhaus, Nine Inch Nails, Van Halen, A Flock of Seagulls, dUg Pinnick (Kings X), ICE-T, Rolan Bolan, and guitar icon Zakk Wylde.

'Signs In The Heavens Reality Upside Down' is available as a Limited Edition Double CD from the Beauty In Chaos store, on CD and and also digitally – get it from the Beauty In Chaos store or on Bandcamp.

Beauty In Chaos presents ‘Signs In The Heavens Reality Upside Down’ album + video featuring Ministry's Al Jourgensen

February 5, 2025

LA-based collective Beauty In Chaos presents their new album ‘Signs In The Heavens Reality Upside Down’, released via 33.3 Music Collective. As what has become BIC's modus operandi, their fourth studio release, 'Dancing With Angels', is now followed by a ‘re-envisioned’ companion. This 29-track Limited Edition double-CD features stylistically diverse versions of the eight songs found on this widely acclaimed 2024 album, along with two 'bonus' tracks.

Based in Los Angeles, Beauty In Chaos formed in 2018 by guitarist Michael Ciravolo(formerly of Human Drama and Gene Loves Jezebel and current President of Schecter Guitars) with Grammy-nominated producer Michael Rozon (Ministry, Jarboe, Wayne Hussey, The Melvins), who also mixed and co-produced Ministry’s upcoming ‘Squirrelly Years’ album (out in summer 2025).

Returning participants in the chaos-fun include Mark Gemini Thwaite, Kitty Lectro, Tyler Bates, Kevin Kipnis and Julian Shah-Tayler, with a cast of newcomers as William Faith (The Bellwether Syndicate), Frontal Boundary and Combichrist’s Andy LaPlegua. Beauty In Chaos also worked with Ashton Nyte and Cynthia Isabellato create two ‘almost acoustic’ versions of their songs, which Ciravolo cites amongst his favorites.

“I still really enjoy turning complete control of these songs over to an extremely talented cast of artists, producers and dee-jays, giving them total creative freedom to sonically disassemble and reassemble these tracks as they hear ‘em. I realize that this is a BIG listen, but I think our BIC audience will find some gems amongst these reiterations that certainly run the gamut from almost-acoustic to four-on-the floor-dance club," says Michael Ciravolo.

"This double-CD will be limited to 100 copies, and is available via through BIC’s online store. Since this is the sonic-companion to ‘Dancing With Angels’, we are blessed to again have German artist Maren Platzhoff’s hand-painted art adorning this CD."

Along with this release, BIC presents a ‘double feature’ video of the two ‘bonus’ tracks closing this album. Not so much a political statement as they are tributes to some very great artists, Ciravolo chose to cover T. Rex’s 'Children Of The Revolution' (featuring Ministry’s Al Jourgensen on vocals) and 'Open Your Eyes' by The Lords of the New Church. As with much of BIC's work, it was filmed and directed by Vicente Cordero / Industrialism Films based on a video concept by Michael Ciravolo.

"These two tracks are a ‘middle-finger’ to the Military Industrial Complex and Globalists that keep the world in endless, often senseless wars," adds Michael Ciravolo. “It is more than a bit frightening that humanity seems destined to repeat history as opposed to learning from it. Stiv Bators said it perfectly - “Open your eyes see the lies right in front of you”.

'Dancing With Angels' features The Mission frontman Wayne and Cinthya Hussey, The Bellwether Syndicate’s William and Sarah Faith, Ashton Nyte (The Awakening), Kat Leon (Holy Wars) and Julian Shah-Tayler (The Singularity), Leo Luganskiy (Strangelove), Cynthia Isabella (Silence In The Snow) and Patrik Mata (Kommunity FK), the lead single for which was mixed by legendary producer Tim Palmer (The Cure, U2, David Bowie, Robert Plant, HIM).

Previous BIC releases involve members of The Cure, Ministry, Cheap Trick, The Offspring, Gene Loves Jezebel, Marilyn Manson, Human Drama, Bauhaus, Nine Inch Nails, Van Halen, A Flock of Seagulls, dUg Pinnick (Kings X), ICE-T, Rolan Bolan, and guitar icon Zakk Wylde.

The new 29-track Limited Edition Double CD is available from the Beauty In Chaos store, along with the ‘Dancing With Angels’ album on multi-color vinyl and CD. 'Signs In The Heavens Reality Upside Down' is also available digitally as a bonus to the CD, and can also be downloaded via Bandcamp.

BEAUTY IN CHAOS releases fourth album 'Dancing With Angels' - Watch the video for 'Holy Ground' feat. Patrik Mata (Kommunity FK)

July 25, 2024

LA-based collective Beauty In Chaos has released their fourth album 'Dancing With Angels' via 33.3 Music Collective, cementing their legacy for crafting captivating and imagination-stirring music with eight diverse, riveting tracks on offer. BIC has also just unveiled the video for 'Holy Ground', a lush offering, featuring Patrik Mata of seminal darkwave band Kommunity FK, that marks a thrilling departure from BIC's signature goth rock / postpunk sound.

Beauty In Chaos was formed in 2018 by guitarist Michael Ciravolo (formerly of Human Drama and Gene Loves Jezebel and currently President of Schecter Guitars) with Grammy nominated producer Michael Rozon (Ministry) as a revolving evolving sonic entity. To date, BIC has involved numerous luminaries from The Cure, Ministry, Cheap Trick, The Offspring, Gene Loves Jezebel, Marilyn Manson, Human Drama, Bauhaus, Nine Inch Nails, Van Halen, A Flock of Seagulls, dUg Pinnick (Kings X), ICE-T, guitar icon Zakk Wylde, Rolan Bolan, among others.

"The title was inspired by a painting from a talented German artist Maren Platzhoff, which also became the album’s cover. As Michael Rozon and I began writing the music for this release, I knew I wanted to blend artists from our first two releases with some amazing new members to our BIC family," says Michael Ciravolo.

This eight song release features BIC alumni Ashton Nyte, Holy Wars firecracker Kat Leon, and both Wayne and Cinthya Hussey. Ciravolo shares “I love bringing in ‘less famous’ but certainly no less talented artists to the fold, and I think this album does just that”. Leo Luganskiy (Strangelove), Julian Shah-Tayler (The Singularity), former Silence In The Snow frontwoman Cynthia Isabella, The Bellwether Syndicate’s William and Sarah Faith, and Patrik Mata (Kommunity FK) bring immense and diverse talents to 'Dancing With Angels'.

Ciravolo describes this album as sort of a "sonic regression and a sonic progression", noting “I meant this as a positive thing, taking some of the post-rock elements of our debut album, the stark dark bits that run through ‘The Storm Before The Calm' and the gothy dreamy-gaze of 'Behind The Veil’. It was definitely going a bit backwards to take a few steps forward!”

For its CD format, Ciravolo did something he has long wanted to do... joining songs together with musical interludes, which he's dubbed ‘Halos’. He explains, “These are unique soundscape interludes that sonically tie each song together, along with the album’s coda. I do have this… probably unrealistic romantic idea that the listener will give this album at least one top-to-bottom uninterrupted listen”.

The album's lead track 'Diving For Pearls' features The Mission's Wayne Hussey and Cinthya Hussey, his wife and partner in Archeometre. The ‘single version’ was mixed by legendary producer Tim Palmer (The Cure, U2, David Bowie, Robert Plant, HIM, The Mission) with a fab video created by Vicente Cordero / Industrialism Films. About Hussey's fourth collaboration with Beauty In Chaos, Ciravolo says this “may just be the best we’ve written together”.

As of July 24, 'Dancing With Angels' is available on limited edition multi-color vinyl and CD from the Beauty In Chaos store, where the ‘Diving For Pearls' limited edition CD single is also available. Digitally, the album can be found on Bandcamp, Apple Musicand Spotify. The first 100 vinyl copies come with two posters signed by the artists. Vinyl and CD purchases also include the full digital version of the album (with Halos and two bonus tracks).

Beauty In Chaos shares 'Holy Ground' feat. Patrik Mata (Kommunity FK) ahead of fourth album 'Dancing With Angels'

July 17, 2024

"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

With their fourth album 'Dancing With Angels' just a breath away (it's out on July 24), LA-based collective Beauty In Chaos throws open the gates to the darkwave realm, sharing a stunning music video for 'Holy Ground'. A lush offering that features the unforgettable vocals of Patrik Mata of seminal darkwave band Kommunity FK, this marks a thrilling departure from BIC's signature goth rock / postpunk sound.

Formed in 2018 by guitarist Michael Ciravolo (formerly of Human Drama and Gene Loves Jezebel and currently President of Schecter Guitars) with Grammy nominated producer Michael Rozon (Ministry), Beauty in Chaos is a revolving evolving sonic entity. To date, BIC has involved numerous luminaries from The Cure, Ministry, Cheap Trick, The Offspring, Gene Loves Jezebel, Marilyn Manson, Human Drama, Bauhaus, Nine Inch Nails, Van Halen, A Flock of Seagulls, dUg Pinnick (Kings X), ICE-T, guitar icon Zakk Wylde, Rolan Bolan, among others.

“I love swinging the pendulum as far opposite as possible from our previous video. I think “Holy Ground” faithfully captures the sights and sounds of the great mid ‘80s darkwave scene that revolved around Los Angeles’ famed Scream club. This was such a great time in music. This is when I actually first met Patrik, as we shared several bills with them when I was a member of Human Drama" says Michael Ciravolo.

Both Human Drama and Kommunity FK appeared on Geffen’s 1987 'Scream Compilation’, with the latter gaining well-deserved fame for their MTV and club hit 'Something Inside Me Has Died’. Patrik Mata is currently working with Dave Roberts (Sex Gang Children) in a new project, called Kult Children Ov The Damned.

As for the story behind On 'Holy Ground', Patrik Mata shares, "A Watcher, a Supernatural Being, descends upon the planet below. He became transfixed, curious, & seduced by the women & Earthly pleasures & mysteries found. Ever since The Beginning this Being roamed the Earth creating Nephilim. What seems like an Eternity, The Being becomes a Fallen Angel, jaded, decadent, & tired having used & having been through every Earthling on the planet. The Fallen Angel shares its interpretation ov how this planet used to be considered Holy Ground, but now it is not. The only thing that The Fallen Angel yearns for is to return back Home. Back to The Gate.”

Released via 33.3 Music Collective, the 'Dancing With Angels' album cements BIC's legacy for crafting captivating and imagination-stirring music with eight diverse, riveting tracks on offer. Michael Ciravolo explains, "The title was inspired by a painting from a talented German artist Maren Platzhoff, which also became the album’s cover.

Beauty In Chaos presents 'Diving For Pearls' ft. Wayne Hussey & Cinthya Hussey, previewing new album

June 9, 2024

LA-based collective Beauty In Chaos presents 'Diving For Pearls', featuring The Mission trailblazer Wayne Hussey and Cinthya Hussey, his wife and partner in Archeometre.

Accompanied by an alluring overlapping-reality video, this is the first offering from the forthcoming record by the revolving evolving sonic entity that is Beauty In Chaos, formed in 2018 by guitarist Michael Ciravolo. Entitled 'Dancing With Angels', the full-length album is set for world-wide release on July 24. As BIC's curator, Ciravolo describes the new track as “a torrid earworm of a song with lots of swirling layers”.

This ‘single version’ was mixed by the legendary Tim Palmer, whose production and mixing credits include The Cure, U2, David Bowie, Robert Plant, HIM and The Mission, among many other notable artists. “I have been fortunate once again to mix Beauty In Chaos' latest offering and it’s a beauty! But beware, you can’t just hear it once as it will stay with you all day," says Palmer.

This is the fourth song Wayne Hussey has fronted with Beauty In Chaos, one that Ciravolo feels “may just be the best we’ve written together”, despite Hussey’s bout with writer’s block while searching for the perfect approach to the new song.

“When Michael first sent me the music track, I was on tour with The Mission. I had a few listens and thought, yes, this is good, I can find something to sing to this easy enough. And then nothing. For months, I’d listen, and I would come up with melodies aplenty, but no words. More time passed and Michael would ask how I was getting on and each time I’d reply, "I’ve got vocal melodies but no lyrics, absolutely nothing is coming". I must confess that I was getting worried that I’d never be able to write another song – ever,” recalls Wayne Hussey.

"I was raking over all my old lyric notebooks and various word documents on old hard drives and still nada. I was bemoaning my situation to Cinthya one evening and she suggested I write about a personal situation I’d found myself in a few years back. I got my mind focused in the right direction, and while in the studio singing along to the track, I soon got the first line, with the rest following fairly easily…and quickly. It was a huge relief to have the elusive muse visit me again. I played it to Cin and she suggested a couple of small changes and voila, here you have it! I won’t explain what or who the song is about, there’s no need for that, I’ll just leave the listener to make up their own mind, and take from it what they will”.

Ciravolo scoffs affectionately at Hussey’s recollection, “I think he has told me that every time I have sent him music! He cries wolf of ‘no words’, yet he proceeds to one-up our preceding song … which was damn good in my slightly biased opinion. The man is a genuine poet!”

Cinthya Hussey adds “When I first heard the instrumental track for this song I immediately fell in love with Michael's guitars. It's the kind of song that embraces you... and I could listen to it all day long. Wayne was a bit stuck for ideas so I threw an idea at him that was relevant and would be good to get out of his system... And off he went... majestically so! This is probably one of my favourite Beauty In Chaos songs!”

About the new album 'Dancing With Angels', Ciravolo divulges that several BIC alumni will return, along with some new members of the growing ‘BIC Family, while offering an open-ended description of the new album. “It’s sort of a sonic progression from 'Behind The Veil’, with a bit of ‘natural regression’ to our debut release ‘Finding Beauty in Chaos’”

As of June 4, ‘Diving For Pearls' will be available a limited edition CD single and also digitally everywhere, including Bandcamp, Apple Music and Spotify via 33.3 Music Collective. The 'Dancing With Angels' album, set for release on July 24, can be pre-ordered directly from the Beauty In Chaos store.

Beauty In Chaos and Julian Shah-Tayler team up on swank single 'Kiss Me (Goodbye)'

May 10, 2023

"Memorable, whimsical, danceable and impeccably performed... a balanced, pleasurable mix of the easily accessible classic pop of Prefab Sprout and Aztec Camera, woven together with the infectious allure of early Smashing Pumpkins and The Mission UK" ~ The Spill Magazine

LA-based collective Beauty In Chaos is back with the new single 'Kiss Me (Goodbye)' and stunning performance video, filmed and directed by Vicente Cordero of Industrialism Films. This track features Leeds-born Wales-raised artist extraordinaire Julian Shah-Tayler on vocals, as well as Pete Parada (Face To Face, The Offspring) on drums.

With Grammy nominated BIC cohort Michael Rozon in the producer’s chair, “Kiss Me’ packs a bit more glam and post-rock power than the collective's latest 'Behind The Veil’ album, yet BIC curator Michael Ciravolo’s trademark goth-gaze textures dance in and around the song’s infectious melody and chord structure.

“Julian had done a handful wonderful re-envisions for us over the last two albums, which lead me to listening to his fantastic solo work. I felt he had an entirely unique voice and captivation stage presence, so I jumped at the chance to work with him on a song!” says BIC curator Michael Ciravolo.

“Vicente has done so many of our videos, it is almost second-nature for us when filming. He is very aware of how adamant I am that each video is different from its predecessor. I was drawn to this video location, and just wanted to go in and have fun in the multiple ‘locations’ we had at our disposable there. And, of course in true BIC artistry, this is way different than the almost mini-movie script I handed Vicente for our latest single 'Bloodletting'. It was Julian’s idea to weave in an ever so slight story line at the end."

Julian Shah-Tayler, known for his electro rock new wave 'intellipop', has pursued a luminous path involving collaboration, performance, writing and production for the likes of David J (Bauhaus, Love & Rockets), music industry icon Alan McGee, Joaquin Phoenix and Antony Langdon (Spacehog), Siobhan Fahey (Bananarama, Shakespears Sister) and legendary producer Robert Margouleff (Stevie Wonder, Devo).

Having considerable success in TV and film (including for Disney's 'Maleficent'), he received a Golden Trailer award for his work with Lana Del Ray on the movie's trailer and has also had his music performed at the Oscars. When he is not writing and recording original material or producing other artists, Julian Shah-Tayler is selling out venues with his Depeche Mode tribute band Strangelove.

“I’m honoured to collaborate with Michael on this excellent song. I loved the track from first listen and found it meshed perfectly with my aesthetic. Romantic and slightly dark, without straying too far into the irretrievable goth realm," says Julian Shah-Tayler.

“We both decided we wanted it to be more than just a band-performance video. Since the lyrics are about the dissolution of a relationship, it felt appropriate to me to bring in the exquisite Eva Strangelove - burlesque dancer and my lissome love - to play the role of my temptress and heart wrecker in an improvised sci-fi Lynchian narrative of loss and rejection.”

‘Kiss Me (Goodbye)' is out on May 3 via 33.3 Music Collective, available everywhere digitally, including Bandcamp. More music from Beauty In Chaos can be found at www.beautyinchaosmusic.com/music-store

Concrete Blonde classic goes darker on Beauty In Chaos tribute 'Bloodletting (The Vampire Song)'

January 6, 2023

LA-based alternative rock collective Beauty In Chaos pays tribute to Concrete Blonde with their own stunning rendition of 'Bloodletting'. This dark, spooky New Orleans-infused version is a slight sonic departure from their previous releases, as BIC curator Michael Ciravolo assumes lead vocal, highlighting his New Orleans drawl, front and center.

Ciravolo has also enlisted saxophone extraordinaire Mars Williams of The Psychedelic Furs to add some amazing jazz inspired avant-garde vibes to this incredible song, as well as vocalists Whitney Tai, Kat Leon and Tish Ciravolo in a nod to the original song.

“I always loved this song, as Johnette’s lyrics painted an eerily realistic picture of my hometown. On a recent trip there, I found myself walking through some dark side streets in the French Quarter with my BIC producer Michael Rozon and the freaky sights and sounds had this song ringing in my head. I heard a saxophone wailing from a distant club and that inspired this cover idea. Fortunately for me, my friends Tim Palmer and Richard Fortus had just produced the latest Furs album and kindly made an introduction to Mars. I’ve always loved what he plays with one of my favorite bands and he thankfully agreed to be part of this,” says Michael Ciravolo.

As with many BIC singles, a stunning video accompanies this release, each audio-visual offering very different from its predecessors. For 'Bloodletting’, Vicente Cordero and Industrialism Films returned behind the camera.

Ciravolo adds: “Well, this video is certainly VERY different from our most recent single ‘Afterlife'. We wanted a very tongue-in-cheek (or would that be fangs-in-neck?) mix of ‘Eyes Wide Shut‘‘ and ’‘Lost Boys” … focusing more on a loosely-based storyline than just a simple band performance with it all being in good campy fun!”

Beauty In Chaos recently released the documentary film 'Unveiled', providing behind-the-scenes insight into the band's recently released all-female-fronted album 'Behind The Veil'. As for all BIC releases, the physical version (CD/ vinyl) is accompanied by a 25-track digital bonus edition featuring remixes by Paul Wiley (Marilyn Manson), Sin Quirin (Ministry), Kitty Lectro, Bentley Jones, Julian Shah-Tayler, Roman Marisak, Kevin Kipnis and The Phoenix Supernova, as well as an extended album version of 'Orion'.

'Bloodletting (The Vampire Song)' is out now, available digitally from fine music outlets, including Apple Music, Spotify and Bandcamp. The ‘Behind The Veil’ LP can also be ordered directly from the artist at https://www.beautyinchaosmusic.com/music-store.

BEAUTY IN CHAOS presents 'Bloodletting (The Vampire Song)', reimagining the CONCRETE BLONDE track

October 28, 2022

LA-based alternative rock collective Beauty In Chaos presents their ‘Halloween Surprise’’ single - 'Bloodletting'. This is a dark, spooky New Orleans-infused rendition of the Concrete Blonde track, featuring BIC vocalists Whitney Tai, Kat Leon and Tish Ciravolo in a nod to the original song.

More than just a slight sonic departure from their previous releases, this track has BIC curator Michael Ciravolo taking the lead vocal, highlighting his New Orleans drawl, front and center. Ciravolo has also enlisted saxophone extraordinaire Mars Williams of The Psychedelic Furs to add some amazing jazz inspired avant-garde vibes to this incredible song.

“I always loved this song, as Johnette’s lyrics painted an eerily realistic picture of my hometown. On a recent trip there, I found myself walking through some dark side streets in the French Quarter with my BIC producer Michael Rozon and the freaky sights and sounds had this song ringing in my head. I heard a saxophone wailing from a distant club and that inspired this cover idea. Fortunately for me, my friends Tim Palmer and Richard Fortus had just produced the latest Furs album and kindly made an introduction to Mars. I’ve always loved what he plays with one of my favorite bands and he thankfully agreed to be part of this,” says Michael Ciravolo.

As with many BIC singles, a stunning video accompanies this release, each audio-visual offering very different from its predecessors. For “Bloodletting’, Vicente Cordero and Industrialism Films returned behind the camera.

Ciravolo adds: “Well, this video is certainly VERY different from our most recent single ‘Afterlife'. We wanted a very tongue-in-cheek (or would that be fangs-in-neck?) mix of ‘Eyes Wide Shut‘‘ and ’‘Lost Boys” … focusing more on a loosely-based storyline than just a simple band performance with it all being in good campy fun!”

Beauty In Chaos, together with Jammer Direct, released the documentary film'Unveiled', providing behind-the-scenes insight into the band's recently released all-female-fronted album 'Behind The Veil'. As for all BIC releases, the physical version (CD/ vinyl) is accompanied by a 25-track digital bonus edition featuring remixes byPaul Wiley (Marilyn Manson), Sin Quirin (Ministry), Kitty Lectro, Bentley Jones, Julian Shah-Tayler, Roman Marisak, Kevin Kipnis and The Phoenix Supernova, as well as an extended album version of 'Orion'.

As of October 31, 'Bloodletting (The Vampire Song)' will be available digitally from fine music outlets, including Apple Music, Spotify and Bandcamp. The ‘Behind The Veil’ LP can also be ordered directly from the artist athttps://www.beautyinchaosmusic.com/music-store.

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

May 14, 2022

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

March 4, 2022

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)

December 2, 2021

"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'

October 2, 2021

"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

"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

"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. Beauty In Chaos' catalogue can also be explored at https://www.beautyinchaosmusic.com/music-store

Beauty in Chaos presents ‘The Delicate Balance Of All Things’ (Rapid Reiteration Mix)' ft. Cinthya Hussey.

January 28, 2021

Her gorgeous rendition of ‘The Delicate Balance Of All Things’ is the fourth video-single from their new album ‘Out Of Chaos Comes…’, released via Los Angeles' 33.3 Music Collective.

The fourth video/single from 'OUT OF CHAOS COMES...' Available now from 33.3 MUSIC COLLECTIVEGet it here on Vinyl, CD and Digital - https://www.beautyinchao...

This is the fourth single from this album, following up a smashing video for ‘Stranger (Holy Wars - Cruel World Mix)' featuring Kat Leon (of Holy Wars).

The original version of this song, penned by BIC curator Michael Ciravolo and The Mission’s Wayne Hussey, appears on ‘The Storm Before The Calm’ album. Along with BIC producer Michael Rozon, Ciravolo set out to strip down the ominous tone of the original especially for this remix release. After hearing Wayne’s wife Cinthya’s rendition of The Smiths ‘Everyday Is Like Sunday’, the idea emerged for her to sing this new version along with Wayne.

This remix was created by legendary producer Tim Palmer (David Bowie, The Mission, U2, The Cure). BIC main-man, Michael Ciravolo says “Tim has always been one of my favorite producers … and one of the silver-linings of this lockdown is that he has time to do this and two other remixes for our new album”. Far from being a typical band, with its revolving/evolving lineup, videos are the truly the ‘face’ of BIC. Ciravolo’s goal is to make each visually different from its predecessor and this new video certainly checks that box!

“When we returned the track, the delicate balance of all things, to Michael with Cinthya’s newly-completed vocals, Michael’s reaction was to declare he loved it and that we had to shoot a video for this version, remixed by the redoubtable Tim Palmer," said Wayne Hussey.

"With the option of travelling to LA to shoot out of the question due to current Covid-19 restrictions, Cinthya, being in the trade somewhat, contacted a few of her colleagues to ascertain who exactly might be interested in helping us shoot a video in Sao Paulo. Enter the Antipodean Mark Bromilow. Mark and Cinthya had previously acted together on a Kit-Kat advert and had remained friends. The many credits to his name include time spent as artistic director for Cirque De Soleil, where he met the Brazilian Natalia Presser, the featured aerial artist in this video. Locations were scouted, Cinthya having the idea of filming in an old theatre or abandoned warehouse - somewhere strange - while Mark came up with the idea of filming in a currently-closed-down-due-to-Covid circus in Sao Paulo. So the Big Top it was. Using David Lynch as inspiration, we aimed for the video to evoke something otherworldly and magical. So, how did we do?”

The full 27-track collection of the 'Out Of Chaos Comes...' LP (available on CD) is deep and diverse and comes with a few surprises, including Ashton Nyte’s gorgeous acoustic version of ‘The Outside’, and an acoustic/mellotron drenched ‘Memory Of Love’ from Human Drama’s Johnny Indovina. There are also some new and fantastic guitar moments from Simon Hinkler (The Mission), Richard Fortus (Guns N' Roses), Mark Gemini Thwaite (Peter Murphy. The Wonder Stuff) and Nick Johnston.

‘Out Of Chaos Comes… is now available on vinyl (8 tracks), CD (14 tracks) and digitally (27 tracks). The full digital version is included with an LP / CD purchase. Limited-edition colored vinyl also includes an exclusive cover-art poster, signed by the many of the artists involved. It can be ordered in its various formats at www.beautyinchaosmusic.com/music-store
