Beauty In Chaos presents 'Echoes And The Angels', the new video-single from their fourth studio album 'Dancing With Angels', released via 33.3 Music Collective. This earworm track features the incredible vocal range of Leo Luganskiy, a NYC-based artist and frontman of Strangelove, the world's foremost internationally-touring Depeche Mode production, and alternative wave-metal band FOiRMODA.
BIC curator Michael Ciravolo describes Luganskiy as "a rock n’ roll star in the making", adding “Leo’s voice is a bit of an outlier on this record, which I love … as he shares the spotlight with the booming baritones of Ashton Nyte, Wayne Hussey and William Faith!”
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).
"'Echoes And The Angels' was originally going to be the name for this album, until I saw Maren Platzhoff’s cover art concept. I am happy that Leo gravitated to the phrase and created a very memorable chorus …. remember, echoes and the angels," says Michael Ciravolo.
Leo Luganskiy sheds some light on his lyrics, “You can have a love story that is fully complete and copacetic or you can have a beautifully chaotic romance that changes you forever. It unlocks something in you ….”.
As with many Beauty In Chaos videos, this new ‘lights, camera, action’ video was filmed and directed by Vicente Cordero / Industrialism Films.
Michael Ciravolo explains, “'Echoes and The Angels' was the first of the four videos shot from this album, but somehow worked out as the last one we released. We have filmed other videos at this studio, but never in this room and I had made a mental note that the lighting vibe would be perfect for the right song. As we were mixing this track, I knew this would be the right location. I didn’t really have a concept going into it other than the outro ‘angel dance’ sequence and letting Leo be Leo! I do feel we, again, created a video that was different from its predecessor… which is always our goal”.
Cementing their legacy for captivating and imagination-stirring music, this riveting album also 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), plus Cynthia Isabella (Silence In The Snow) and Patrik Mata (Kommunity FK).
For CDs and digital versions bought via BIC's website, Ciravolo offers something special, 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 the single version of 'Diving For Pearls' featuring The Mission's Wayne Hussey and Cinthya Hussey, mixed by legendary producer Tim Palmer (The Cure, U2, David Bowie, Robert Plant, HIM). BIC's most recent offering is 'Made of Rain' featuring the brooding baritone of Ashton Nyte of legacy goth rock outfit The Awakening, who has also just released their twelfth album.
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 available on limited edition multi-color vinyl, CD and Digital format at the Beauty In Chaos store. The album can also be found on Bandcamp, Apple Music and Spotify. The first 100 vinyl 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).
