Opheliac

Opheliac

Having performed on albums for Courtney Love, Billy Corgan, and Die Warzau, Emilie has finally moved to center stage with an album of devilishly dark lyrics powered by an industrial strength voice. Written in a style she calls "victoriandustrial", "Opheliac" draws upon Emilie's influences as a child prodigy classical violinist and combines them with her passion for the harsh industrial of Laibach and Front 242, the sublime melodicism of Depeche Mode, and the drama of Moi dix Mois and Visual Kei. Signature metal-style violin shredding, heartbreakingly lush strings, and menacing lyrics growled with enough intensity to make your hair stand on end. The result is a harpsichord heavy romp through Victorian asylums where screaming is allowed and girls always get revenge.
