NEWS - OF THE MUSES "Underheavens— Of Blood, Ghosts and Saltwater" (Emotional Alt Rock w/ female voice)
Underheavens— Of Blood, Ghosts and Saltwater" is OF THE MUSES' sophomore endeavor after the great success of the debut "Senhal". It marks Cristina Rombi's departure from the raw romanticism of her early Black Metal-infused material in favor of a sound that intensifies the dynamic, straightforward elements in her music, now permeated by soulful pop, punchy alt rock, and subtle gothic undercurrents.
Here Cristina, sole member of the project, gets candid about her experience with navigating the personal and collective trauma of the AIDS crisis, which led to the premature loss of her father in the 90s.
Tapping into her love of 90s-defining styles such as britpop, trip-hop and grunge, OF THE MUSES crafted a visceral, haunting meditation on death and the afterlife in the form of an immersive, bittersweet record.
