Amelia Arsenic

About

Amelia Arsenic doesn’t just make music; she architects sonic dystopias. This Australian-born artist, now based in Berlin, crafts a potent brew of industrial, darkwave, and cyberpunk, her soundscapes as cold and metallic as they are emotionally resonant. Arsenic's music isn't just a collection of songs; it's an immersive experience, pulling listeners into a world of digital decay and fractured identities. Arsenic initially made waves as part of the seminal electro-industrial act Angelspit, before venturing out on her own to forge a solo path. Her individual work solidifies a penchant for abrasive synthesizers, driving beats, and haunting vocals, exploring themes of technology, isolation, and resistance. The 2013 EP "Carbon Black" served as a key turning point, establishing her singular aesthetic, while subsequent releases like the album "Queens of the Underworld" further cemented her reputation. Beyond her studio work, Arsenic is a compelling live performer, known for her theatrical stage presence and visually arresting shows. Her collaborations with artists across various genres, like those within the broader industrial scene, speak to her influence and reach. With her immersive sound and distinctive worldview, Amelia Arsenic continues to be a vital voice in the contemporary landscape of dark electronic music, proving that beauty can indeed be found within the bleakest of soundscapes. Recently she has been active in the crypto and AI art spaces, including releasing NFT projects.
