Velvet Cacoon

An avant-garde, atmospheric, dark metal duo made up of vocalist/guitarist/drummer Josh (aka SGL) and guitarist Angela (aka LVG), Portland, OR’s Velvet Cacoon experienced a wealthy and controversial background, unique inasmuch because so many from it wasn’t “background” whatsoever, but entirely fabricated hogwash. Since first becoming conceived by Josh in 1996, Velvet Cacoon’s assortment of half-truths and outright is situated possess included suicidal drummers, coughing medicine addictions, hazy statements of asexuality, faked demos with which to pad out their discography, as well as stolen music, if they copied and exceeded tunes by folk/blues music group Korouva as their personal. Obviously, these many fabrications possess led to very much confusion and discomfort over time, while diminishing the potential of Velvet Cacoon’s actual releases (we believe), like 2002’s Dextronaut, 2004’s Genevieve, 2005’s rarities compilation, Northsuite (later on reissued through Southern Lord, in 2008). A fresh Velvet Cacoon recording, Atropine, is usually rumored to be equipped for release in ’09 2009, but it’s secure to state that followers and haters as well will think that when they view it.
