“Stunning musical and, in particular, six-string intricacy… layers of lush, ringing, occasionally grimy and often heavily effected guitars” ~ Guitar World
“Hauntingly heavy and beautiful” – LA Weekly
“A legacy for crafting captivating and imagination-stirring music…. taking us on a sonic journey that blends haunting melodies with crushing riffs” ~ The Spill Magazine
“Moody hard-hitting album… Intense” ~ Rolling Stone
Iconic alt-rock / post-punk supergroup Beauty In Chaosreturns to where it all began with ‘Quiet Place’, – the band’s fifth studio album, arriving exactly eight years after releasing their debut record ‘Finding Beauty In Chaos’. More than an anniversary, the timing marks a remarkable full-circle moment for the LA-based project, bringing together the spirit of its beginnings with eight years of musical exploration, unlikely collaborations, and an ever-expanding family of artists.
Produced by Grammy-nominated producer Michael Rozon (Ministry, Jarboe, Wayne Hussey, The Melvins), ‘Quiet Place’ is a ten-track collection showcasing the latest from Beauty In Chaos. Released September 28th via LA-based 33.3 Music Collective with cover artwork by Maren Platzhoff, the album brings together familiar voices and new collaborators while continuing the project’s distinctive blend of dark rock, atmospheric textures, powerful guitars, and richly layered songwriting.
The lead single ‘Home’ featuring Ashton Nyte of famed South African goth rockers The Awakening also marked eight years since BIC’s first single ‘Storm’. As vocalist and co-writer of that debut offering, this is a fitting reunion for a song about connection and finally finding where you belong. The ‘Home’ video was filmed by Nyte and longtime BIC collaborator Vicente Cordero (Industrialism Films).
BIC curator Michael Ciravolo describes ‘Quiet Place’ as “quite possibly our most diverse album, with a collection of songs that just work together”. This double vinyl release also includes many other returning BIC alumni, including Cinthya Hussey (with a bit of help from her Mission main-man husband Wayne Hussey), Whitney Tai, Julian Shah-Tayler, Betsy Martin, Leo Luganskiy, and Kommunity FK’s Patrik Mata.
Two new voices join the BIC family on this album – Nick Schultz, formerly with The Faces Of Sarah, and Strangelove’s Brent Meyer. The Deluxe CD also includes three cover song renditions, with Michael Ciravolo himself contributing vocals.
“Since I had several additional new singers in mind, Michael Rozan and I just kept writing songs, but the idea of releasing this album on the same date as our debut was important to me… so I had to make the call to stop at these ten tracks,” says Michael Ciravolo.
“I am very aware that ten songs is indeed a ‘big’ listen in today’s chaotic world, but I believe in my heart that our audience is more discerning and open to a true deep-dive listen.”
Beauty In Chaos has come a long way since LA-based guitarist Michael Ciravolo (formerly of Human Drama and Gene Loves Jezebel and current President of Schecter Guitars) launched this project in 2018. Over the years, BIC has involved members of The Mission, The Cure, Ministry, Cheap Trick, The Offspring, Gene Loves Jezebel, Marilyn Manson, Human Drama, Bauhaus, Nine Inch Nails, Van Halen, A Flock of Seagulls and dUg Pinnick, ICE-T, Rolan Bolan and Zakk Wylde, among other luminaries.
‘Quiet Place’ is available in a 100-copy Limited Edition package, which includes a beautiful 180g double vinyl pressed on Ocean Blue Glitter. Each of the 100 copies are hand-numbered and include an eight-page lyric booklet, a Special CD, and a set of three BIC guitar picks. As with all BIC albums, the full digital version is included and sent for immediate download!
A ‘Goth Black’ double vinyl, a Deluxe 13 song CD, and a digital version are also available at the BIC Store. While all of the artists that are part of the growing BIC Family believe in enjoying music in a physical format, ‘Quiet Place’ can also be heard on all streaming platforms, including Apple Music, Spotify and Bandcamp.
