Acoustic goth folk singer/songwriter Nic Nassuet gives a little peak into his new album “Eleutherios” – a record, guiding the listener into dark worlds with ballads dedicated to a world that has left so many forgotten. Two songs were just released online.
“She rides moonlight” reminds of a nice blend between Dead Can Dance atmosphere and the sensuality of the Peter Murphy ballads. A big part of the song are the violins in the background, delivering a dark cabaret feel to it.
The second track – “When it falls” captures more of a grungy, 90’s spirit. Violins, cellos, upright basses, guitars, and rock vocals combined with interesting percussion create an acoustic rock song about being haunted by oneself.
“I can’t hear anything
I can’t see anyone around us
I can’t feel anything at all
I have become this thing
I’ve started haunting my own dreams
Forever lost in the depth of me…”
Nic’s musical background can definitely be heard in his work: he played Sweeney Todd in “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street,” Terry Connor in “Side Show,” and starred at the original rock-musical “Doomsday Cabaret.” Drawing on his life-experience Nassuet’s music often finds itself rooted in the dark, mysterious & melodic.
Combining elements of traditional Celtic-music, blues, rock, grunge, folk, punk, and gothic rock; Nassuet makes music full of genuine emotion and darkly-sweet authenticity. Recently he signed with indie label, Dirtshack records and won several awards on the Los Angeles Veterans Creative Arts Competition.
“Eleutherious” is about to be released at some point this spring, followed by supporting tour in the spring and autumn
