Victoriana infused electronic metal duo Codex Lovelace has officially released their debut full length album Galvanized Heart alongside a new music video for the single “The Corps”. The new record arrived on September 4 and seamlessly fuses dark electronic dance music with heavy metal instrumentation. The new focus track lifts the curtain on the darker side of nineteenth century entertainment by exploring the grim reality of ballet dancers expected to prostitute themselves to wealthy patrons. Musically, “The Corps” delivers rhythmic intensity by blending eerie atmospheric shifts and seductive vocal lines with thunderous metal elements to reveal the sinister history lurking beneath the surface.

Devised from a shared love of history and fantasy, Codex Lovelace is a collaborative project led by musicians Joan Avant and Holly Royle of Disconnected Souls. The name of the group serves as a direct reference to Ada Lovelace, reflecting their overarching thematic focus on the forgotten women of history. Originally intended to be a single collaboration between the two artists, the project quickly expanded into the expansive Galvanized Heart record produced entirely by Avant. By intertwining ethereal orchestral arrangements and ambient electronic textures with the aggressive power of modern metal, the duo has crafted a highly dynamic debut designed to highlight the stories of lives far too often overlooked.
