Hailing from Brussels – Belgium, LOVELORN DOLLS is the artistic expression of the duo Kristell (lyrics, vocals, arrangements) and Bernard (music, programming, guitars, production). The duo is signed to the Belgian label Alfa Matrix.
Just how childhood can get drawn into a fantasy world, LOVELORN DOLLS lead you into an extraordinary, dark but romantic universe where Tim Burton's visuals collide against the glam touch of THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE or yet the extravaganza of a MARILYN MANSON. A landscape where creepy cute meets gothic rock music.
Their new album Deadtime Stories will be released in 2024, mixed & produced in Roma – Italy by maXX Maryan from the cult Electro Pop Goth Metal duo HELALYN FLOWERS! Highly recommended to the fans of GARBAGE, LACUNA COIL, THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE, EVANESCENCE, THEATRE OF TRAGEDY and other female fronted electro goth metal bands.
A Chaotic Tale Unfolds: Listen to our new song, the 2d one from the upcoming new album “DEADTIME STORIES” and share your impressions. The song will be downloadable on Bandcamp, Spotify, … from today.
Locked in the Room of Despair: Step inside the eerie confines of an asylum, where our characters find themselves trapped in a room of despair. The video explores the psychological struggles, haunting visions, and intense emotions that manifest within these walls. As the music unfolds, so too does the unraveling mystery of each character's story.
Beautiful Chaos (single): I hear a bit of a retro (The Cure) sound in the guitar play. I would cast it as female fronted Gothick rock with a slice of heavenly voices. I also like the electronic parts.
Beautiful Chaos (Restriction 9 remix) gets a more electronic approach. With this version I even feel it could become a more techno minded version and an actual hit.
Beautiful Chaos (Absynthe Of Faith remix) changes it more into a floating techno track (without hard beats and without the powerful drive needed to make it).
Beautiful Chaos (The Breath Of Life remix) is the version I was the most curious about. I hear some beats, a typical The Breath of Life touch in the background and a slow tempo. I wish the band would have covered it and totally changed it into theirs (like they did in the past in a magical way).
Beautiful Chaos (Antidote For Annie remix) is a pretty good remix that keeps the spirit of the original and adds little things that make it slightly better than the original.
It’s a nice EP aka single with remixes. It’s clear Loverlorn Dolls are ready to add another year to their long carreer and get in the picture again after a short break. I hope the fans will follow (and that the new album will reach out to new fans)!
Vocals : Kristell Lowagie / Guitars & bass : Bernard Daubresse / Drums: Glen Welman.
