The Violet Burning

CD only $19.99.

Drop-Dead is a return to the aggressive sound of their early releases and the themes that have made The Violet Burning stand out among traditional modern rock acts.

Produced by Michael J. Pritzl, singer and songwriter of The Violet Burning, and co-produced by Gabriel Wilson and Chris Greely (a.k.a. The Glitter Twins) of The Listening (formerly known as The Rock n Roll Worship Circus), Drop-Dead is reminiscent of The Violet Burning Self-Titled and Demonstrates Plastic and Elastic while integrating the pop elements of Michael’s side project, The Gravity Show.

Integrating his iconic guitar tones, with his new found love of electronics, Michael and the Violets have created a unique sound all their own. Part William Reid, part Gillian Gilbert, and what the Southern California press calls the “new New-Wave.”

Drop-Dead, Michael states “is deeper, darker than any Violet record to date. Sonically, it is more like Radiohead’s ‘Kid A’ or Pink Floyd’s ‘Dark Side of the Moon’.” Thematically, Michael cites romance and tragedy, but ultimately it is a record of love. “Love hoped for, love found, love questioned, love left, love longed for, love sacrificed for, love never told, love lost, love searched for…” Although influenced by Depeche Mode, The Cure, and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, Drop-Dead ultimately brings long-time fans back to the guitar-driven rock that has always been at the heart of The Violet Burning.
