Beauty In Chaos, the evolving revolving worldwide aural entity, presents the closing track on their ‘Dancing With Angels’ album – their fourth record to date, recently released via 33.3 Music Collective. Introduced by a vibrant video, filmed and directed by Fernando Cordero / Industrialism Films**, **’Made of Rain’ features the brooding baritone of Ashton Nyte of legacy goth rock outfit The Awakening, who will also release their twelfth album in mid-October.
“It is no coincidence that we chose a release date of September 10th, as it is six years to the day that we introduced Beauty In Chaos to the world with ‘Storm’, which also featured Ashton. It is a true blessing to have Ashton back for our fifth song together. As we have come to expect from BIC, this new video is visually and conceptionally very different from the latest BIC single ‘Holy Ground’,” says Michael Ciravolo.
Ashton Nyte adds, “I am delighted with how the ‘Made Of Rain’ video came out. I think Industrialism Films have captured the sense of isolation and the desire for connection I was writing about. The dreamlike quality of the video reflects the inner struggle beautifully.”
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)**.
Cementing their legacy for captivating and imagination-stirring music with eight diverse, riveting tracks, this album features BIC alumni Ashton Nyte, Holy Wars firecracker Kat Leon, Julian Shah-Tayler (The Singularity), and both Wayne and Cinthya Hussey, rounding out this eight-track collection with contributions by The Bellwether Syndicate’s William and Sarah Faith, former Silence In The Snow frontwoman Cynthia Isabella, Leo Luganskiy (Strangelove) and Patrik Mata (Kommunity FK).
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 these CDs (and digital versions bought through the BIC website), Ciravolo did something he has long wanted to do… joining songs together with musical interludes, dubbed ‘Halos’, explaining, “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”.
Earlier, Beauty In Chaos shared ‘Holy Ground’ featuring Patrik Mata of seminal darkwave band Kommunity FK and ‘Diving For Pearls’ featuring The Mission‘s Wayne Hussey and Cinthya Hussey, his wife and partner in Archeometre with the ‘single version’ mixed by legendary producer Tim Palmer (The Cure, U2, David Bowie, Robert Plant, HIM, The Mission). Hussey’s fourth collaboration with Beauty In Chaos, Ciravolo says this “may just be the best we’ve written together”.
Previous 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.
‘Dancing With Angels’ is out now 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 Music and 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).
