ABOUT
EMILIE AUTUMN:
Courtney
Love's "anarchy violinist" returns
to the stage and is keeping the spotlight all to
herself. Fresh off the road as Ms. Love's touring
bandmate, and with appearances on Leno and Letterman,
glossy magazine centerfolds, and guest spots on
the albums of such artists as Love, Billy
Corgan, and Die Warzau under
her corset strings, Emilie Autumn's devilishly
dark lyrics and industrial-strength voice reinvent "gothic" for
the masses.
Chosen
by Interview Magazine as one of
their "14 Artists to Watch" ,
EA's theatrical stage show is a sexy circus of gothic
burlesque backed by her all-girl band. But as the
sole composer, performer, and producer of her dramatic
new album, "OPHELIAC" gets personal. Written
in the style she calls "victoriandustrial," "OPHELIAC" draws
upon EA's influences as a child prodigy classical
violinist and combines them with her passion for
the harsh industrial of Laibach & Front 242,
the sublime melodicism of Depeche Mode, and the drama
of Moi Dix Mois and Visual Kei. Accentuated by EA's
signature metal-style violin shredding, heartbreakingly
lush strings, and menacing lyrics growled with enough
intensity to make your hairs stand on end, the resulting
noise is a harpsichord-heavy romp through Victorian
asylums where screaming is allowed and girls always
get revenge.
The End.
For now...
