Electro-industrial artist, MARIE ANN HEDONIA just unleashed her new EP, Lunar Eclipse – an autobiographical release full of anger, rage and revenge.

The songs work as emotional layers from rage to acceptance, and through them we are transformed. ‘Anseka’s Song’ is pure rage as humans love violence. We consume it as entertainment when it should shock and disgust us. It’s a perfect opener for this EP. The song sets the tone for the emotional space these tracks occupy. It also flows right into ‘Family Trauma’, the most autobiographical track on the EP.

Marie says: “My family was messed up, screaming fights, job loss, arrests, and it generally made me a pretty angry person. I thought one day I would write this all down, maybe as a quirky memoir. Instead life guided me to music and so I channelled my rage, and sadness into this EP.  In astrology a  “lunar eclipse” can bring on emotional transformation, even upheaval. I want this EP to release these emotions for myself and for the listener.”

Dark-electro artist, MARIE ANN HEDONIA has unveiled her new cinematic video, ‘Eve Had the Metallic Shine of Summer’.

The video concept was inspired by Ingmar Bergman’s film, Persona. Eve, our mannequin represents a toxic relationship. Eve is a person we pour our whole self into, a person who takes all of our energy, time, money, soul, and gives nothing back.

MARIE ANN HEDONIA’s collaborator, BLACK KITE, states, “This song is about the potency and allure of destructive, codependent relationships and how they require us to self-abandon. It speaks to both addiction and toxic relationships that masquerade as love or comfort, but are actually antithetical to both.” The ending is completely dependent on the viewer’s point of view: Do I go mad? Am I the bad guy? Am I free now?

The video was shot over a period of 13 to14 hours during one day of “guerrilla” style film making, all over Baltimore city and county. Director Alex Shaak was pivotal in creating the striking visuals seen throughout the video, bringing the concept to life. The weather was completely coincidental. The energy of the thunderstorm very much translates the powerful ending of the video.
