SEEKING

ABOUT

Viola Velvette was formed in 2013 (starting from Spider Queen) by Viola as vocalist, guitarist, drummer, keyboardist, and music producer (hey, it's not easy to run a 1-person band!), & DGTB as backing vocalist (Losing my religion).

Comprised of a total band member of 1, Viola uses and endorses the FL Studio as DAW and Guitar Rig 5 for guitar FX. Viola Velvette draws musical inspiration primarily from the industrial metal scene, centered on strong lyrical content, drenched in reverb, and battered by a storm of steady and unrelenting staccato guitar, which is then contrasted by light and uplifting vocals in the traditional fashion of female fronted metal bands that set precedence for this sort of sound...

"All art is useless." - Oscar Wilde.

"All art starts from a personal narrative and branches out into a personal statement that mirrors (not closely, of course), distorts, even mockingly disfigures life's current states of affairs. Authentic art pleases the artists and should not have an intended audience. Commercial art appeals to the audiences' base instincts and offers nothing original. Good art is one that purposefully finds an acceptable compromise between the two extremities and has a resounding message that bursts from the artists' private "soul" and into the ears of her sympathizers."
