About Violet Stigmata

Violet Stigmata, which evolves under this name since 1999, was born around 1996 when Nicolas decided to start a musical project. Originating in Besançon, the project is nothing but a therapy without particular ambition, from which will rise the following tapes The Skeleton Feast (6 titles), Manticore and Unterwelt (these two last found in integrality on Limbs). It is in 1999, after the meeting of Céline, that appears the 7 tracks demo entitled The Violet Stigmata Project. In the continuity of preceding work, the CD-R hesitates between dark-wave, gothic-rock and more ambient constructions. The CD-R Humanicide, Mors Ultima Ratio, Second Blood EP and Delirium Nocturnus will follow. The true birth of the band happens at the beginning of 2001, with the meeting of Laurent (bass) and Pierre (keyboard). The band will find out the last piece of the puzzle when moving to Paris : Fred (guitar). Céline, who definitively integrates the band as a graphist/webmaster, also occupies herself of the programmings on stage, and confers on Violet Stigmata a visual unit, knowing that it's not yet the case concerning the musical fields. http://www.violet-stigmata.com/
