“Deus ex Machina“, LIV KRISTINE‘s solo debut from 1998, will be reissued next March completely remastered and including a bonus disc of rarities, remixes, etc. 1995 was the year in which a new star shone in the gothic metal sky with LIV KRISTINE. To this day, the Norwegian singer with her angelic soprano voice is considered an inspiration for numerous subsequent bands and artists.
After globally acclaimed albums and sold-out tours fronting Theatre Of Tragedy, LIV signed a contract with Massacre Records in 1997 to realize her first solo album, Deus ex Machina.
October 27, 1997, was to become a very special date in LIV KRISTINE‘s career. On this day, she met Nick Holmes (Host, Paradise Lost). The chemistry between the two exceptional artists was right from the start, and so the jointly composed, beautiful gothic ballad “3 a.m.” was the first song for the solo album Deus ex Machina, released in 1998. Although both Nick and LIV have a metal background, the fusion of their two voices created something very special.
But the other songs on Deus ex Machina also unfold a great deal of subtlety, magic, and the power of LIV KRISTINE‘s personal charisma. With “Portrait: Ei tulle med øyne blå,” based on a children’s song from 1905, there is even a song in LIV‘s native Norwegian on the album.
In June 2023, a new interpretation of the song was created together with Geir “Gerlioz” Bratland (Dimmu Borgir, God Seed, The Kovenant, Satyricon), which can now be found on this new re-release of Deus ex Machina
For LIV KRISTINE, both as a person and as an artist, authenticity and heart always come first. With the release of Deus ex Machina, she has already proven what a great, independent artist she is and has been inspiring and enchanting people all over the world for over three decades now.
