First Listen: Beauty in Chaos – Almost Pure ft. Steven Seibold

Beauty in Chaos has delivered the next installment of things to come in the form of their new single titled ‘Almost Pure’, featuring Steven Seibold of Hate Dept. A complete turn around from the last outing featuring Curse Mackey, BIC curator Michael Ciravolo completely throws his ‘no keyboard’ rule into the trash in a beautiful fashion that helps define the song in it’s dark and introverted fashion with the brilliant combination of musical grit and angelic ambiance. Highlighted by a stand-out and elongated hook, ‘Almost Pure’ is almost perfect; that reaching for the muse moment that is slightly out of reach but feels within our grasp. That’s where the beauty feels like chaos.

‘The Storm Before The Calm’ will be released on CD and digitally on May 22 with a later release date to be announced for the vinyl editions. These include 180g vinyl (including a black numbered limited edition and a black & blue duo-tone). Pre-orders come with an immediate download of ‘A Kind Cruelty’ and the full digital release on May 22, including a 25+ minute title opus that does not appear on the vinyl version. ‘The Storm Before The Calm’ can be ordered HERE.

About Beauty in Chaos & ‘Almost Pure’

American alt-rock supergroup Beauty in Chaos presents their new single ‘Almost Pure’ featuring Steven Seibold of the popular industrial-synth-punk Hate Dept., which he formed in 1991 and still continues today. Over the years, he has also contributed to Pigface, together with Martin Atkins.

Beauty in Chaos’ forthcoming album ‘The Storm Before The Calm’ will be released on May 22 via LA-based label 33.3 Music Collective in time for World Goth Day. Recorded at Ciravolo’s own SAINTinLA Studio, it was produced by Michael Rozon, Grammy-nominated for his work with Ministry.

‘Almost Pure’ is the third single from the album to be previewed, following ‘A Kind Cruelty’ featuring Curse Mackey (Pigface, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, Evil Mothers) and ‘The Delicate Balance of All Things’  featuring The Mission frontman Wayne Hussey.

Beauty in Chaos is the brainchild of guitarist Michael Ciravolo. Originally from New Orleans and now based in Los Angeles, he is best known as President of Schecter Guitar Research. He also played guitar in Human Drama for 30 years, in addition to playing live and recording with Michael Aston’s Gene Loves Jezebel since 1998.

Steven Seibold is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, composer, producer, music director, recording artist, and performing musician. As a writer, performer, and producer, he has released records as Hate Dept., Standalone, muet, Berlin, Information Society, Pigface, Damage Manual, Super Sport, Americlone, and Seibold the Terrible. He has also been creating music for television commercials and motion pictures since 1995.

“What a great honor to write with such a longtime friend. It makes sense though. Michael and I have always been crazy about much of the same music. Not to mention, as supportive of one another as we could possibly be,” says Steven Siebold.
