Lovelorn Dolls
Lovelorn Dolls is a Belgian female-fronted rock metal band founded by guitarist Corpus Christi and singer Kristell Lowagie.
History
Lovelorn Dolls consists of the duo Ladyhell (Kristell Lowagie)(vocals, Arrangements, Words) and Corpus Christi (Music, Programming, Guitars, Production).
They mix Alternative, Electro and Rock and are inspired by the visual styles of Tim Burton and Marilyn Manson and musically by Lacuna Coil, Evanescence, The Birthday Massacre and Garbage.
The EP “An Intense Feeling Of Affection” (2011) is the first result of the duet only just after six months from its own birth.
The first compositions are accompanied by powerful drum machines and fronted by Ladyhell’s versatile voice, close to Björk, Liv Kristine and Anneke van Giersbergen. The cover art of the album is by Gogo Melone.
Early 2012, they recorded their first album “The House Of Wonders” and meet the producer Victor Love (Omega Lithium, Dope Stars Inc.). Victor perfectly fits the atmosphere of Lovelorn and will give the sound that the band needed to go further. This album is due to be released in Winter 2013 under Alfa Matrix label.
They have also been featured on several compilations.
Style
Lovelorn Dolls can be described as a mixture of rock, alternative, metal and electronic touches.
