September Mourning

September Mourning has just recorded her debut album for Virgin Records. "It tells a story in 12 songs, an epic tale of “heartbreak, loss, pain, joy, love, redemption, but most of all, courage…” Produced by Howard Benson (Chris Cornell, My Chemical Romance) and mixed by Chris Lord-Alge, September Mourning revives the concept of rock star meets superhero. If Marilyn Manson and Lady Gaga had a kid, it would be September Mourning, who also cites influences as varied as David Bowie, Freddie Mercury, KISS, Evanescence and My Chemical Romance. “For me, the project is a story, a theatrical art piece,” September explains. “Music is the backbone, but for this to work, it has to include the imagery and the narrative all symbiotically linked into the whole. Music taps into your innermost being. There’s something very intimate and personal about it.” The character of September Mourning is a human-reaper hybrid, who feels the need to give some human souls a second chance, and thus toys with Fate. To expound on this narrative, September is working with iconic comic book artist Marc Silvestri, who started out on the original X-Men comics and went on to form Top Cow Productions (Witchblade, The Darkness). Together, they are putting together the story of September Mourning in graphic form, to accompany, and enhance the musical message. Having toured with Marilyn Manson, September Mourning has already built up an impressive fan base, which she calls her “Children of Fate,” constantly encouraging them to have “the courage to embrace their passion… to allow yourself to follow your heart and not be a slave to your fears. To know that the only boundaries that exist in our lives are the ones we allow.” The character of September is played by artist, Emily Lazar. She portrays September not only in the comic world but also the real world as the singer of "September Mourning". This musical incarnation has toured with Marilyn Manson, The Birthday Massacre, Dommin, I Am Ghost, and Hanzel Und Gretyl. In May 2012 the album, Melancholia, was released on Repo Records (Germany). The release has spawned national and international radio play as well as print and online press publication. Marc Silvestri of Top Cow Comics is the spearhead of the comic/media portion of this project. Silvestri, known for his creation of such iconic characters as The Darkness, Witchblade, and Cyberforce, has helped Lazar in the development of the character and story line of September Mourning. He has also garnered exposure for the project through recent Comic Con expos and has secured a deal with MTV Geek to feature Lazar in webisodes of the live action comic.
