Belgian gothic/synth-rock act Lovelorn Dolls is set to release a new EP, True Crimes, on 3 October via Alfa Matrix.
A haunting four-track EP resurrects some of history's most chilling unsolved mysteries. Each True Crimes' track gives voice to the voiceless: "Dahlia Bleeds" revisits the brutal fate of the Black Dahlia, "Velvet Little Voice" embodies the ghost of JonBenét Ramsey, "The Boy In The Box" tells of America's forgotten child, while "Call Me Your Ghost" channels the cryptic menace of the Zodiac Killer. Together, they form a requiem of cold cases, where truth and myth bleed into song.
The cover artwork mirrors the EP's unsettling spirit: a little goth girl stares at an investigation board, piecing together crimes too big for her hands, embodying both innocence and obsession. She becomes the listener's stand-in - drawn into a world of unanswered questions and spectral voices. Adding to this new chapter, Lovelorn Dolls is now joined by Eric Renwart, the third member: live guitarist and sound engineer, with over 30 years of experience in the scene. His presence brings both raw energy on stage and a refined depth to the band's evolving sound. With True Crimes, Lovelorn Dolls invites us into the shadows: to listen, to shiver, and to remember.
