From the perpetual fog of San Francisco Violet Thrones emerge.
Drawing from the deepest wells of gothic tradition and the experimental underground, their sound occupies a space between Gothic rock and dark jazz. First revealed through the 2025 single “Forever in Bloom” and quickly followed by “Dance of Infinity”, the bands debut album is due to release at the end of 2026.
The five points of this dark star sharpened into; Stever Jaeger on bass, Sammy Valentine on strings, Kador the Destroyer on drums, Doug Graves on keys, and Violet Basso’s voice together fuel the bands eternal flame.
Threaded within Violet's operatic howling and hypnotic incantations, their lyrics craft haunting & romantic narratives, that float over a rich sea of cathedral drenched synth. Strings cut and wail over tribalistic percussion, with bass echoing from the deepest depths of the abyss. While the wicked find themselves crushed upon the stony shore, those pure of heart shall find healing and power within their frequency.
Channeling tales that feel both arcane and nouveau, a live show experienced more as a ritual than a concert. Moving through themes of transformation, rebirth and empowerment, drawing inspiration from folklore of antiquity and esoteric traditions.
