Beauty In Chaos has today released their new video for the single titled ‘Made Of Rain’ featuring Ashton Nyte (The Awakening) from their latest album ‘Dancing With Angels’.
That rare moment is here for me. That moment when a true artists goes full circle while still effortlessly forging ahead with that natural evolution of pure and true music. That full circle is the reunification of Beauty In Chaos and The Awakening, solo artists and multi-instrumentalist Ashton Nyte. What started with ‘Storm‘ has bookended with ‘Made Of Rain’.
Ashton and BIC go together in ways that just seem to fit naturally and organically. There is a magic and chemistry that feels inevitable and pure. And to see how both have grown in the last six years, individually and collectively, is a sonic timestamp to really appreciate.
There is a more pronounced subtle darkness about ‘Made Of Rain’ that fills a personal void while adding to the universe that is BIC. Add to that the rhythm and melody brought by Tish Ciravolo (bass), Dirk Doucette (drums), and Kerry Remsen (violin), and you have the beautifully dark and delicate multi-union that is Beauty In Chaos.
And, while BIC is perpetually a collective that defies definition (anyone who calls it goth didn’t actually listen, they heard the music), there is something within the notes and around the riffs that you can’t duplicate unless you feel it. There is a sense of family. Everyone who has contributed to this ongoing project permanently feels to be a part of it because they are. Forever and all time. This is something only the best musicians and the purest artists will ever get and understand: When you make your best contributions and give it your all, it becomes a part of you and you it.

About ‘Made Of Rain’
Beauty In Chaos, the evolving revolving worldwide aural entity, has just released their new video for the closing track on ‘Dancing With Angels’. “Made Of Rain” features the brooding baritone of Ashton Nyte. BIC’s curator, Michael Ciravolo says “it is no a coincidence that we chose September 10th, as it is six years to the day that we introduced Beauty In Chaos to the world with “Storm’, which also featured Ashton. It is a true blessing to have Ashton back for our fifth song together”
As we have come to expect from BIC, this new video is visually and conceptionally very different from its predecessor, “Holy Ground”.
“I am delighted with how the “Made Of Rain” video came out. I think Industrialism Films have captured the sense of isolation and the desire for connection I was writing about. The dreamlike quality of the video reflects the inner struggle beautifully” adds Ashton Nyte.

About ‘Dancing With Angels’
‘Dancing With Angels’ features BIC alumni Ashton Nyte, Holy Wars’ Kat Leon, and of course Wayne and Cinthya Hussey. “The title was inspired by a painting from a talented German artist, Maren Platzhoff which also became the album’s cover. As Michael Rozon and I began writing the music for this release, I knew I wanted to blend artists from our first two releases with some amazing new members to our BIC Family”. Ciravolo adds “I love bringing in ‘less famous’ but certainly no less talented artists to the fold, and I think this album does just that”. Leo Luganskiy, Julian Shah-Tayler, former Silence In The Snow front woman Cynthia Isabella, The Bellweather Syndicate’s William and Sarah Faith, and Patrik Mata, main-man of the seminal darkwave band Kommunity FK bring immense and diverse talents to “Dancing With Angels”.
Ciravolo has described this album as sort of a ‘sonic regression and a sonic progression’. When pressed to explain he adds “I meant this as a positive thing, taking some of the post-rock elements of our debut album, the stark dark bits that run through ‘The Storm Before The Calm”, and the gothy dreamy-gaze of ‘Behind The Veil’. It was definitely going a bit backwards to take a few steps forward!” Speaking of going forward, this album in its CD format includes something that the BIC curator has long wanted to do… joining the songs together with musical interludes, that Ciravolo dubbed ‘Halos’. “These are unique soundscape interludes that sonically tie each song together, along with the album’s coda. I do have this… probably unrealistic romantic idea that the listener will give this album at least one top-to-bottom uninterrupted listen” he added.
