Los Angeles goth rock supergroup Beauty In Chaos release music video for "Afterlife"
Los Angeles goth rock supergroup Beauty In Chaos unveiled the music video for their single “Afterlife” on Friday.
The visual, which can be seen below, was directed by Gabb Design. Tish Ciravolo, who worked on the video’s concept as well as appears on the track, said this:
"Trying to capture a near-death experience in a song is an experience that I never knew I would be able to creatively achieve. Sharing a solo imagery, a solo experience, something that only I had seen in my mind's eye, then conveying that through lyrics that made sense was my heavenly assignment. Then, trying to explain that cataclysm, that crescendo to a filmmaker to help capture those moments was the crux.
This video brings my own experience between Heaven and Hell and brought out that light, that extremely beautiful contrast, the emotional pull of those few moments between life and death, like I could never have dreamed or imagined.”
“Afterlife” stems from Beauty In Chaos’ new studio album Behind The Veil, which is a collection of collaborations with female artists. Beauty In Chaos founder Michael Ciravolo said this about working on “Afterlife”:
“When the music to this track started to come together in the studio, before any lyrics, I knew this would be the album’s lead-off ‘needle drop’ song. It just felt right. The track has a sort of non-traditional arrangement. I thought it would be a bit challenging for most singers. I loved what my wife had done on 'Lookup”' putting herself into the lyrics, yet having a message of hope.
When [producer] Michael Rozon and I heard what she did with the track … turning it into a song, we were both ecstatic. I usually go with my first instinct on things, and, to me, 'Afterlife' is the perfect opener for this album. It sets a mood I wanted, and Michael Rozon’s production is second to none."
Behind The Veil and its companion album Further Behind The Veil are available on digital services right now.
