Beauty In Chaos ft. Cynthia Isabella ○ Hollow

From CANADA

The evolving revolving world-wide entity known as Beauty In Chaos presents ‘Hollow’ (Crimson Cupid Mix)’ with stunning ethereal vocals by Cynthia Isabella. The video for this ‘goth-gaze’ version was filmed and directed by Vicente Cordero (Industrialism Films) and edited by Ryan Conlon with additional footage from Isabella.

This is the second taste of their latest album ‘Signs In The Heavens Reality Upside Down’, recently released via 33.3 Music Collective. In following with BIC's modus operandi, this 29-track Limited Edition double-CD offers re-envisioned versions of tracks from their fourth studio release, 'Dancing With Angels', along with two bonus tracks.

Based in Los Angeles, Beauty In Chaos formed in 2018 by guitarist Michael Ciravolo (formerly of Human Drama and Gene Loves Jezebel and current President of Schecter Guitars) with Grammy-nominated producer Michael Rozon (Ministry, Jarboe, Wayne Hussey, The Melvins), who also mixed and co-produced Ministry’s upcoming ‘Squirrelly Years’ album (out in summer 2025).

“I feel ‘Hollow’ is a standout track on ‘Dancing With Angels’, but thought with Cynthia and I’s mutual affinity for ‘90s shoegaze, we could show it in a different light. Michael Rozon and I redid everything except Cynthia’s original vocals…. Revamping the chords and adding a judicious amount of fuzz and reverb drenched guitars!!” Ciravolo also alluded that the ‘crimson cupid’ moniker given to this re-envision was more than a slight nod to My Bloody Valentine!” says Michael Ciravolo.

“We shot the ‘band’ footage to the album version of ‘Hollow’ while on set of ‘Diving For Pearls’. When we recorded this remix version, Cynthia and I thought we could morph in some new footage, and with some ‘movie magic’, I think we got a beautiful visual throwback to those great ‘90s 4AD/Creation videos!”

Ciravolo’s and Isabella’s paths crossed by chance when her band Silence in The Snow was performing at The Echo in Los Angeles. Her new project Lost Gems is a collaboration with producer Alex DeGroot (co-producer and live multi-instrumentalist for Zola Jesus).

“We talked after about a shared love for many bands and musicians. After we collaborated on ‘Hollow’, we decided to pursue a remix version inspired by our admiration for Lush, MBV and Slowdive, which has turned out to be a really fun and beautiful experience! Being invited into the BIC collective and creating music with truly good people is a gift,” says Cynthia Isabella.

Earlier, Beauty In Chaos shared a ‘back-to-back’ video of 'Children Of The Revolution' featuring Ministry’s Al Jourgensen on vocals and 'Open Your Eyes', paying homage to T.Rex / Marc Bolan and The Lords of the New Church, respectively.

Returning participants in the chaos-fun include Ashton Nyte, Mark Gemini Thwaite, Kitty Lectro, Tyler Bates, Kevin Kipnis and Julian Shah-Tayler, with a cast of newcomers as William Faith (The Bellwether Syndicate), Frontal Boundary and Combichrist’s Andy LaPlegua. Beauty In Chaos also worked with Ashton Nyte and Cynthia Isabella to create two ‘almost acoustic’ versions of their songs, which Ciravolo cites amongst his favorites.

Previous BIC releases involve members of The Cure, Ministry, Cheap Trick, The Offspring, Gene Loves Jezebel, Marilyn Manson, Human Drama, Bauhaus, Nine Inch Nails, Van Halen, A Flock of Seagulls, dUg Pinnick (Kings X), ICE-T, Rolan Bolan, and guitar icon Zakk Wylde.

'Signs In The Heavens Reality Upside Down' is available as a Limited Edition Double CD from the Beauty In Chaos store, on CD and and also digitally – get it from the Beauty In Chaos store or on Bandcamp.
