Belladonna are the first Rock Noir band in the world.
Moody, dramatic, intense, Belladonna's songs dwell on madness and magic, revenge and reincarnation, sex and excess, with a massively powerful and passionate sound that's both deeply erotic and unbearably romantic.
Belladonna's MySpace success has been unexpected and lightning-fast: with over 1.000.000 plays of their songs they have now become one of the world's most popular unsigned bands on MySpace.
Their acclaimed debut CD "Metaphysical Attraction" has gained them rave reviews from all over the world and has given Belladonna true cult status. Its songs have been added to the playlists of over 200 radios worldwide, magazines like Glamour, GQ and NME have hailed Belladonna as the "next big thing", and even Wikipedia has devoted a page to the band.
Two songs out of their debut CD, “Black Swan” and “Foreverland”, have even received the incredible honor (unprecedented for an unsigned band!) of being included in the Grammy Awards 2008 Ballot, in the categories Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals and Best Rock Song.
The sultry, sensual, sexual appeal of Belladonna has gained them a main attraction slot alongside Dita Von Teese at Erotica 07 in London in November 2007, where the band performed during the course of the 3-days event in front of over 100.000 people.
The band has recently been personally invited by legendary producer Sylvia Massy (Tool, System of a Down, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Johnny Cash and many others) to her incredible studio in California, where she has recorded and produced various brand new Belladonna noir songs for a forthcoming release.
