US dark‑alternative outfit Beauty In Chaos have unveiled their new track "Home", reuniting with longtime collaborator Ashton Nyte of South African gothic rock act The Awakening. The intimate, emotionally resonant single arrives exactly eight years after Nyte first joined the Michael Ciravolo‑led project for "Storm", the debut piece that introduced Beauty In Chaos to the world. The anniversary makes "Home" a particularly fitting reunion — a song about love, trust, connection, and the quiet certainty of finally finding where you belong.
"Home" offers the first glimpse into the forthcoming body of work Quiet Place, Beauty In Chaos' fifth studio album, comprising ten tracks. Produced by Grammy‑nominated producer / sound architect Michael Rozon (Ministry, Jarboe, Wayne Hussey, The Melvins), Quiet Place is due for release on 28 September through 33.3 Music Collective as a double‑vinyl edition and digital release.
The new track also marks eight years to the day since Beauty In Chaos' first video and single "Storm" was unleashed, introducing their debut record Finding Beauty In Chaos. It is therefore fitting that Ashton Nyte once again contributes lyrics and vocals, set against the soundscape composed by Beauty In Chaos curator Michael Ciravolo and shaped by Michael Rozon.
Ciravolo explains: "When we started writing music for this album, I wanted to send each artist a bit more open music tracks than in the past, giving them more space to create - with the plan of adding our usual dense textures around and inspired by their words and melody. When Ashton sent back his vocals for 'Home', I thought it was perfect in its intimacy, and we added very little if anything at all after. It just felt 'complete' as it was. It think Michael Rozon and I have learned that sometimes less can be best".
The accompanying visual, filmed by Vicente Cordero (Industrialism Films) and Ashton Nyte — who also directed and edited it — features Nyte (vocals), Michael Ciravolo (guitar) and Tish Ciravolo (bass). Nyte comments: "I think the video captures the beauty and spirt of the song, without any of the 'goth trappings' that ruin so many videos that fall may fall into this space. 'Home' is essentially a song that celebrates the simple truth that home is indeed where the heart is, as the old expression goes. A shared life is more meaningful than a life lived in solitude when you share it with someone you love and trust. Musically, it is one of my favourite melodies that Michael has ever sent my way. Much like 'Storm', it felt like the song was made for me, and I wrote and recorded the lyrics almost immediately upon hearing the music. Yes, I am home again". Link
