In honor of the release of Opheliac, I’ve changed the site layout! Let me know what you think.

Opheliac is available for preorder now! Go here for details.

The “Let the Record Show” lyrics have been updated. As always, please let me know if you hear something different!

This is without a doubt the most promising newcomer act Trisol has ever signed. In fact, it is possibly one of the most anticipated “gothic” releases of a debut act ever!

Courtney Love’s “anarchy violinist” returns to the stage and is keeping the spotlight all to herself. Fresh off the road as Ms. Love’s touring bandmate, and with appearances on Jay Leno and David Letterman late night TV shows, glossy magazine centerfolds, and guest spots on the albums of such artists as Love, Billy Corgan, and Die Warzau under her corset strings, EMILIE AUTUMN’s devilishly dark lyrics and industrial-strength voice reinvent “gothic” for the masses.

Chosen by Interview Magazine (USA’s most famous pop-culture publication) as one of their “14 Artists to Watch”, EA’s theatrical stage show is a sexy circus of gothic burlesque backed by her all-girl band. But as the sole composer, performer, and producer of her dramatic new album, “OPHELIAC” gets personal. Written in the style she calls “victoriandustrial”, “OPHELIAC” draws upon EMILIE AUTUMNS’s influences as a child prodigy classical violinist and combines them with her passion for the harsh industrial of Laibach & Front 242, the sublime melodicism of Depeche Mode, and the drama of Moi dix Mois and Visual Kei. Accentuated by EMILIE AUTUMNS’s signature metal-style violin shredding, heartbreakingly lush strings, and menacing lyrics growled with enough intensity to make your hairs stand on end, the resulting noise is a harpsichord-heavy romp through Victorian asylums where screaming is allowed and girls always get revenge. “OPHELIAC” comes as a limited, luxurious double digipack with a glossy fold out poster, 28 page picture booklet, and bonus CD with exclusive tracks, live performance video, photo gallery, and behind-the-scenes footage into the world of EMILIE AUTUMN (Emilie shows you how to apply her signature makeup, how to tie a corset, and more)! — from Trisol.de

I know a lot of you may be disappointed by this, but please don’t gripe about it. I think it is a great opportunity for Emilie to get her music out there and be heard! We should all be proud of her! ♥

In site news, I have updated the “Gothic Lolita” and “Marry Me” lyrics.
