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

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

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

Beauty in Chaos is the brainchild of guitarist Michael Ciravolo<\/strong>. Originally from New Orleans and now based in Los Angeles, he is best known as President of Schecter Guitar Research<\/strong><\/a>. He also played guitar in Human Drama<\/strong><\/a> for 30 years, in addition to playing live and recording with Michael Aston\u2019s Gene Loves Jezebel<\/strong> since 1998.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steven Seibold<\/strong> 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<\/strong> and Seibold the Terrible<\/strong>. He has also been creating music for television commercials and motion pictures since 1995.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“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 Seibold<\/strong>.
“This song ‘Almost Pure’ came to me as a lush and tragic sounding plea for love. Every single one of my favorite songs are love songs. They don’t have to be hopeful and sweet,  especially from guys like Michael and I. This one is torn apart and weeping over what once was and the lyrics just dripped out like the last IV bottle in the ward.”
Beauty in Chaos mastermind Michael Ciravolo <\/strong>explains: “The music for this one was part of my original writing output when I sat down to write what I planned to be a \u2018darker, linear\u2019 EP.  When I got the vocal demo back from longtime friend Steven Seibold of Hate Dept. and heard \u2018these flowers have no scent or color \u2026”, I knew I picked the right writing partner for this soundscape!  Cool minor-key guitar and synth \u2018call and answer\u2019 overlays the dark, repetitive drone bass line.  The song ebbs and flows without getting overly grand.  I have always been a fan of Seibold\u2019s quicky biting industrial whit and delivery; and he integrates himself seemlessly into what turned into \u2018Almost Pure\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2018, Beauty in Chaos released their acclaimed debut album \u2018Finding Beauty in Chaos\u2019<\/strong><\/a>, followed by the \u2018Beauty Re-Envisioned\u2019<\/strong><\/a> album (2019).
