She along with at least 1200 others lost their lives as a result of this devastating hurricane,” says Michael Ciravolo. My elderly Aunt was evacuated as the city’s services shut down, and sadly she did not survive the move to Alabama. I lived in Los Angeles when Katrina hit, but watched as friends and family lost everything. “This song really hits close to home as I was born and raised in New Orleans.
Ice-T, famed rapper, actor and frontman of Body Count, also spits out a poignant exclamation point to the extent of these tragedies. And the video shoot was wet!! Lol! And so much fun… and even captures the serious topic of this song.” What a great opportunity, I’m glad to be a part of this project. “It was fun putting my bass part on the track and a big surprise being on the same song with Ice-T and Zakk Wylde. Pete Parada, drummer on ‘Un-Natural Disaster’. Their shared experiences and memories of the chaos caused by Hurricanes Katrina and Harvey, along with the ‘beauty’ of those who came to help the victims, profoundly shaped the song’s music and lyrics. “Zakk plays more notes on this solo than I did on the entire album, but with taste, technique and a ton of flair,” Michael Ciravolo laughs.įor this project, Ciravolo – a New Orleans native – teamed up with King’s X’s dUg Pinnick, who previously lived in Houston. This track breaks the constraints placed on the debut album, not only due to the addition of synthesizers but also in the wicked unleashing of a blistering guitar solo by guitar guru Zakk Wylde. Both albums are produced by Ministry’s Grammy-nominated producer Michael Rozon at Ciravolo’s own SAINTinLA Studio. ‘Un-Natural Disaster’ (Collide Mix) is the first song to be previewed from the soon-to-be-released album ‘Beauty Re-Envisioned’, which will contain an extremely wide variety of remixes and alternate versions of many of the tracks that appear on their debut album ‘Finding Beauty in Chaos’. We want to know: Who do you think should collaborate with Beauty in Chaos?
CDs and vinyl can be ordered from the Beauty in Chaos website HERE. It will also be available digitally across online stores, including iTunes, and streaming platforms like Spotify. On June 21, ‘Beauty Re-Envisioned’ will be released via LA-based label 33.3 Music Collective on deluxe CD and limited-edition heavy-weight colored vinyl. Beauty in Chaos becomes Beauty Incarnate. That is both the human nature and condition and why songs such as ‘Un-Natural Disaster’ also serve as documentation. And, in retrospect, can shape and form the lives of those involved and strengthen them with the scars of the event. The song and video are inspired by the events of Hurricanes Katrina and Harvey, can be attributed to any unnatural disaster because they all evoke similar emotions and experiences. Statik and Michael Rozon frame the song in vivid equalization and a lush soundscape. Now, with the addition of Zakk Wylde, the track goes from being a loaded gun to a gun loaded with depleted uranium.
That initial driving riff just mesmerized and captivated around dUg’s vocals. What I liked about the original version (preview HERE) was the way the song just hit you like a sucker punch. Keeping with the tradition of the last outing, ‘Finding Beauty in Chaos’, this new rendering (remixed by Statik from the LA duo Collide and featuring Pete Parada on drums) from the upcoming release titled ‘Beauty Re-Envisioned’, now features the addition of guitarist Zakk Wylde along with original collaborators dUg Pinnick ( King’s X) and rapper Ice T.
Well, in the case of chaos, I now have my answer, and it is true evolution. When we last spoke with Michael Ciravolo, the mind behind the chaos, we had talked about the evolution of one’s music.
