 | Description: | A lifelong project christened in 2017 by twin sisters Emmalia & Sarafina Bortolon-Vettor, Bonnie Trash are emboldened on "Mourning You" by the addition of Emma Howarth-Withers on bass and Dana Bellamy on drums.
Though inspired by the shocking iconography of horrorshows, slasher flicks, and psychological thrillers, Bonnie Trash turns cinematic tropes on their head. Rather than fashioning nightmares into reality, the band paints reality as a nightmare, rife with pain, suffering, and gothic theatre. Like their forebears Joy Division, Black Sabbath, or John Carpenter, Bonnie Trash understands that everyday atrocities haunt the periphery of our lives. A black cloud looming on the edge of our vision. Curses abound. You can't ward them off. You'd best make an unholy racket.
It's Emmalia's relentless, thrashing guitar which has made Bonnie Trash's live shows as legendary as their records. Where most goth groups have presented themselves as an ethereal apparition, Bonnie Trash is equal parts Stooges and Sisters of Mercy; as much heavy metal as they are shoegaze. There's plenty of cathedral drama, to be sure, but never without the crushing weight of a proper riff. Grounded by Bellamy's warlike toms and Howarth-Withers' earth-shaking bass, crashing and pounding like a storm on the grey horizon, Emmalia smears their power chords with distortion and black ink.
Mourning You is less a post-mortem fantasia than a sudden, swift dagger to the heart. This is sorrow not as a lingering bruise, but a gushing wound.
