Just barely a breath after the worldwide success of “Opheliac”, EMILIE AUTUMN emerges yet again from her studio she calls “The Asylum” with her latest work, “Laced / Unlaced”, a Double Disc set featuring, no, not her voice, but her violin skills.
Disc 1, “Laced,” represents her past, containing the worldwide release of EMILIE AUTUMN’s rare teenage classical violin recordings including works by Corelli, Bach, and EMILIE AUTUMN’s originals, all performed on period instruments with lute, harpsichord, and baroque cello accompaniment.
Disc 2, “Unlaced,” represents her future, in an electric-violin, Yngwie-meets-Paganini-styled romp. Written in the “Victoriandustrial”, harpsichord-laden Gothic style of “Opheliac” but with a metal edge, “Laced / Unlaced” shows the evolution from child prodigy classical violinist to reigning queen of metal Gothic / Industrial violin, and beckons us ever deeper into EMILIE AUTUMN’s strange world with a flick of her black-nail-polished fingers.
