Discover the hauntingly beautiful world of In Spite of Thunder, a solo music project led by Cathy, a classically trained French singer, composer, jazz flutist, and self-taught pianist. After her first instrumental piano album "For the Restless - Acoustic Dreams" in 2020, Cathy has delved deep into her passion for gothic music and black metal, creating emotionally charged gothic rock with captivating piano melodies. In Spite of Thunder's new music explores the vulnerability of human interactions, touching on themes such as chronic illness, narcissistic abuse, grief, and mental health, with the aim of bringing light to the listener's darkest days. Fans of Evanescence's piano arpeggios, Liv Kristin, Lindsay Schoolcraft (ex Cradle of Filth), and Loreena McKennit will find solace in Cathy's mesmerizing vocals. Embrace the darkness with "Drama Queen," the first single from In Spite of Thunder's new gothic era, released on all streaming platforms on November 25th, 2022. "Drama Queen" is a romantic, atmospheric gothic rock song featuring a post-breakup dialogue between a delicate soprano operatic voice naively hoping for the return of a loved one and a resentful lower modern voice reflecting on the toll the relationship took. Enhanced by In Spite of Thunder's signature haunting piano melodies and ethereal transverse flute, "Drama Queen" benefits from a dramatic gothic rock production. In Spite of Thunder is currently recording its first gothic rock album, ensuring that the dark and captivating journey has only just begun. |
