By: Tori Hartshorn Jan. 11, 2019
The single was co-written with Keith Wallen of Breaking Benjamin and features Ray Luzier of Korn on drums, as well as Billy Sheehan of David Lee Roth, Mr. Big and others on bass.
Madame Mayhem will be attending NAMM 2019. Please get in touch if you would like to interview her at the show. She is also available for phone interviews.
Those who yearn for the electric catharsis of loud guitars, driving rhythms, hypnotic
hooks, and the strength of shared experience have a new muse in Madame Mayhem.
The Manhattan born singer/songwriter and burgeoning rock icon-in-the-making has weaponized the darkness, turning it into a rallying cry for all who were ever cast
aside. Songs like "Broken," "War You Started," and "So Wrong" are equal parts timeless sentiment, bareknuckle fury, and energized urgency. Madame Mayhem's songs rival the best of Modern Rock, early '90s emotive-grunge, and nü-metal angst.
As her name suggests, Madame Mayhem takes charge of her own anxiety, hurt, and alienation, crushing it with sheer force of will, then channeling the remaining ether into pulse-pounding anthems, instantly connecting with anyone who has struggled.
An acolyte of heartfelt melody from a young age, the classically trained singer, pianist, and guitarist studied at the Manhattan School of Music and Frost School of Music at the University of Miami. Broadway may have beckoned, but the pull of hard rock was stronger. Pairing her well heeled chops and personal theatricality with raw sonic force Madame Mayhem quickly commanded attention from iHeart Radio, VH1's That Metal Show and a powerhouse team of luminaries from the rock world.
She's shared stages with Sevendust, Memphis May Fire, Fozzy, and Doro.
Across three exceedingly well-received albums - Ready for Me (2017), Now You Know (2015), and White Noise (2012) - Madame Mayhem worked with Russ "Satchel" Parrish (Steel Panther), Corey Lowery (Stuck Mojo), Ron "Bumblefoot" Thal (ex-Guns N' Roses), and Troy McLawhorn (Evanescence) to name just a few.
Her music has taken her into some of the world's best-known venues, like B.B. King
Blues Club in New York, The Roxy in Hollywood, and a Grammy week stint at
Nashville's Bluebird Café, to name just a few. Loudwire premiered her "Ready for Me" music video. She's garnered very positive press in Revolver and Guitar World. The buzz has spread overseas as well, demonstrated by profiles in long-running tastemaker publications like Rock Hard, Aardschok, and Metal Hammer magazine.
As the fashion press observed, the look is the medium and the music is the message.
The self-expression inherent in goth and glam are just more colors on Madame
Mayhem's artistic palette. Black eyeliner and black leather; pink lips and sharp spikes; it's part of an arsenal as timeless as the New York Dolls or The Runaways.
There's no escaping the darkness. Life is full of unpleasant surprises. Real and
imagined disasters, from outside forces and from within, threaten at every turn. But
those who learn to control and command the chaos will triumph. This rock n' roll
badass invites each audience to become the Madame of their own Mayhem. As ASX
declared, "She's aggressive, outrageous, and operatic... And she's ready for you."
Madame Mayhem is managed by FM Music Management and distributed by The Fuel Music.
