Single Of The Week - "Bloodletting (The Vampire Song)” by Beauty In Chaos

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.

A prolific music collective, Beauty in Chaos 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, and their all female fronted album “Behind The Veil”, released in February 2022, “Beauty In Choas” have released a rendition of Concrete Blonde’s track “Bloodletting (The Vampire Song)”. A sonic excursion, the track abandons the usual hard-rock edge of Beauty In Chaos and embraces a more free-styling and experimental approach.

It’s a fantastic track that chills, thrills and creates an atmospheric backdrop of rock-horror. It’s a smooch on the wildside of Jazz and saunders through the red mist of darkwave. It’s a hypnotic track that prowls and roams through the eerie graveyard of gothabilly, whilst having blood-thirsty drink with Lux Interior, Nick Cave and Ornette Coleman.

Through its abstract artistry, Bloodletting (The Vampire Song) stays true to the classical construction of baroque-rock, whilst flirting with the aesthetics of cabaret-rock. Featuring the added vocals of Whitney Tai, Kat Leon, Kerry Remsen, Dickie Dollars and Tish Ciravolo, Bloodletting (The Vampire Song) is a theatrical production, that opens its curtains during the witching hour and offering an intimate invite to the front row seats.

It’s a nocturnal navigation with the walking dead, wandering down the back streets of New Orleans and tiptoeing on the potholes of post-punk. It’s deliciously dark, whose spectral sax soars aside the menacing vocals and apparitional ambience. Along with footstep strums and pounding beats, Bloodletting (The Vampire Song), pulsates from the heart of ethereal rock, and surrenders from the soul of avant-garde.

‘Bloodletting (The Vampire Song)’ is now available digitally from all 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.
