LA-based alternative/gothic rock supergroup Beauty In Chaos just released a new stunning video for the latest single "Stranger", taken from their new album The Storm Before The Calm, which was released on 22nd May via 33.3 Music Collective. The song features Kat Leon from Holy Wars, whose deep and personal lyrics tell the story of losing oneself amidst personal tragedy. Beside Kat Leon the new album also features members of The Awakening, The Mission, Hate Dept, Pigface, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult.
This record, The Storm Before The Calm (read the review over HERE), is the studio follow-up to the band’s critically-acclaimed debut Finding Beauty In Chaos (2018) and Beauty Re-Envisioned album (2019).
The video, directed by Leslie Gladney, subtlety yet cinematically portrays ‘losing oneself’, something everyone inadvertently faces at some point in their life. Beauty In Chaos curator Michael Ciravolo and Grammy-nominated producer Michael Rozon sculpt an understated dark soundscape for Kat Leon to tell her story.
Michael Ciravolo comments: "This gorgeous song resonates with me much like "Storm" and "I Will Follow You" from Finding Beauty In Chaos. One of those "a few in a lifetime" moments for an artist. I truly believe things happen for a reason, as I literally stumbled on Kat’s band Holy Wars when they supported my friends Papa Roach. I thought she had an amazing voice and was a very captivating performer. What stood out the most to me was how she poured her pain and heartache into her lyrics. Lots of her "story" intersects with mine."
Kat Leon adds: "It was such a pleasure to be a part of writing this song with Beauty In Chaos. When Michael first reached out asking me to be a guest singer and songwriter on his new track, it was an honor to be included and I was so inspired by his work. As soon as I heard the instrumental, it gave me such a vibe and it was so beautiful as I heard something so heartbreaking in the song as well. This inspired me to write something very personal lyrically to give it the life it deserves. I chose to speak about the feeling of grief and feeling completely disconnected from myself and from life itself after the loss of my parents. And how long that feeling tends to linger even years after their passing. Hearing the finished song was incredible and brought tears to my eyes. I can’t wait for this song to be released and speak to others who may be feeling the same way." Link
