Emilie Autumn adds tour dates

As Halloween looms in the near future, so does the release of the expanded album version of EMILIE AUTUMN's seminal Opheliac which has created a huge international fanbase for Courtney Love's "anarchy violinist." Released for the first time in the U.S. by The End Records on October 27th, The Deluxe Edition includes five new and exclusive tracks, live concert footage, video interviews, and album out-takes previously unavailable. In support of the album's release, Emilie has added additional North American tour dates (dates below).

Not surprisingly, all the VIP Packages offered in each city (which includes one ticket, an autographed copy of her long-awaited book The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls, a signed limited edition poster, and a Meet & Greet with Emilie and a semi-private reading from The Asylum...) have SOLD OUT within an hour of sale. In addition, pre-sale tickets were SOLD OUT at the end of the day they went on sale. Tickets are still available for the general public but are selling out quickly.

Acclaimed and celebrated far and wide in Rock and Classical cicles, Emilie has guested on albums by Otep, Billy Corgan, and Dethklok, performed on Leno and Letterman, had songs on soundtracks to Saw III and IV, and even appeared on Adult Swim's Metalocalypse. Known for her eccentric style (she makes all of her elaborate fashion ensembles herself) as well as her prodigious musical talent (she began reading notes before learning the alphabet and was already playing violin at four years old!), Emilie spent a good amount of her youth playing concert halls throughout the U.S. and Europe and studied under the tuteledge of world-renowned violinist Nigel Kennedy.

With songs like the melodically epic "Misery Loves Company" to the elegant waltz of "The Art of Suicide" to the syncopated metal of "Liar", Opheliac shimmers in its black-veiled classical, goth, baroque pop. Originally released in 2007 and building a huge underground swell in indie communities, the album was widely celebrated and revered. ReGen Magazine characterizes it as an album with "a sugary veneer covering bitter hearts and broken dreams. [Opheliac] fits on your shelf between Tori Amos and Depeche Mode" and rated it a solid 4.5 stars. New York Post recently chose her as one of "music's hippest chicks," calling her "completely unique."
