Single Of The Week - "Grasp The Stars" by Beauty In Chaos ft. Betsy Martin

Beauty in Chaos are a musical collective from Los Angeles, whose stunning music goes back to the origins of dark-wave rock and intercepts with deep lashings of alternative metal, industrial rock, baroque-rock, dark-wave, hard-rock, post-punk and new-wave whilst seduced by the dark-romanticism of goth-rock. Created in 2018 by Michael Ciravolo (Human Drama and Gene Loves Jezebel), Beauty in Chaos are the ultimate rock super-group, that beats its heart to the drums of melodic-rock, and heals its sorrowful soul by its inner-inferno. Like a raging fire of alternative-rock, Beauty in Chaos are all or nothing, an all-consuming affair, whose uncompromising passion burns and smoulders within every iota of sounds. Like phantasmagorical punk, Beauty in Chaos create music whose sentiments reside in the shadows of our minds, where emotions are exorcised and released from the cells of hell. It’s music for the guitar-gods, whose riffs singe, combust and soar like a Phoenix burning from the ashes. It’s music that pierces deep within, renews, regenerates and aligns darkness with light.

A prolific Beauty of Chaos music collective has included 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.

Following the release of their album, ‘The Storm Before The Calm’, and the remix-based ‘Out Of
Chaos Comes’ in 2020, Beauty of Chaos have been busy in the studio working on their new album, ‘Behind The Veil’. Released in February 2022, the album features all female vocalists, including their latest track “Grasp The Stars” featuring Betsy Martin, which has been selected as my Single of The Week.

Grasp The Stars featuring Betsy Martin is your bona-fide rock track, that booms from the big bang of guitar-laden music, whilst radiating from the debris. Through the stream of celestial riffs, Grasp The Stars soars and cascades, whilst colliding with a deeper layer of choppy riffs. It’s a track that free-wheels and encircles with a firebrand of passion, in a dramatic gust of tantalising theatrics. Through the stunning vocals , Grasp The Stars ascends to the heavenly heights of ethereal rock, and captures the sentiments of the track. Along with the intense lyrics, Grasp The Stars beams with a great magnitude, and takes you to a place where the nebulas collapse, crumble and are reborn again a gazillion times more powerful. It’s melodic rock at its finest, that emits a grandiose of emotion, whilst aligned with the constellations of the rock-gods.
