‘Lotus (Acoustic Version)’ shows LIV KRISTINE from her most intimate side – completely stripped down and yet haunting. The song originally appeared on the 2014 album ‘Vervain’.
In this new acoustic recording, created during the sessions for the current album ‘Amor Vincit Omnia’, the song unfolds with gentle guitar sounds, delicate piano and Liv’s characteristic, angelic voice. Her voice floats above the arrangement, without any bombastic metal trappings, revealing the pure essence of ‘Lotus’: a musical meditation on fragility, hope and inner strength.
LIV KRISTINE releases the new single ‘12th February”. The song is taken from her upcoming studio album ‘Amor Vincit Omnia’, which will be released on 25th April on Metalville Records.
The exceptional Norwegian singer presents a song that describes life from both a broken and a beautiful, loving perspective. Liv’s angelic vocals in contrast to dark guitar sounds give ‘12th February’ a very special atmosphere.
Just two years after the release of ‘River of Diamonds’, LIV KRISTINE is back with her seventh solo album ‘Amor Vincit Omnia’ and is as passionate as ever.
The music on ‘Amor Vincit Omnia’ was composed by the sought-after session and live musician Sascha Dannenberger, who was also responsible for the production in his SaDinTheBox Studio and the Twilight Sound Studio in Karlsruhe. The eleven tracks were mastered by Andy Classen at his Stage One Studio.
In their songs, the band skilfully and excitingly combines classic dark rock with elements of doom, rock and pop to create an extraordinary mix of sounds that fully emphasises the mood of each individual track.
LIV KRISTINE has always had a strong connection to her fans and followers. Personally and in her lyrics, she has an open manner that instils instant appreciation and confidence.
The once again impressive artwork by Marc Niederhagemann (ArtWeRK – Mediadesign) with photos by Mariël Rohrbach complements the musical and lyrical world of the songs on ‘Amor Vinci Omina’ with its Gothic-style images.

Liv Kristine release new single and lyric-video “Portrait Ei Tulle med Øyne Blå”. The song is the second single taken from the forthcoming re-release of her debut-album “Deus ex Machina” (out on March 1st)
“Portrait: Ei tulle med øyne blå”, based on a children’s song from 1905, is a song in LIV KRISTINES’ native Norwegian. In June 2023, a new interpretation was created together with Geir “Gerlioz” Bratland (Dimmu Borgir, God Seed, The Kovenant, Satyricon). “Portrait: Ei tulle med øyne blå” unfolds a lot of subtlety, magic and the power of LIV KRISTINE’s personal charisma.
1995 was the year in which a new star shone in the gothic metal sky with LIV KRISTINE.
To this day, the Norwegian singer with her angelic soprano voice is considered an inspiration for numerous subsequent bands and artists.
After globally acclaimed albums and sold-out tours with “Theatre Of Tragedy”, LIV signed a contract with Massacre Records in 1997 to realise her first solo album “Deus ex Machina”.
At this time she was completing a Master’s degree in English and German studies and commuted between the University of Stuttgart and the recordings in the Illinois studio. At the same time, she continued to tour very successfully with “Theatre Of Tragedy”.
27 October 1997 was to become a very special date in LIV KRISTINE’s career. On this day she met Nick Holmes (Host, Paradise Lost). The chemistry between the two exceptional artists was right from the start, and so the jointly composed, beautiful gothic ballad “3 a. m.” was the first song for the solo album “Deus ex Machina”, released in 1998.Although both Nick and LIV have a metal background, the fusion of their two voices created something very special.
But the other songs on “Deus ex Machina” also unfold a great deal of subtlety, magic and the power of LIV KRISTINE’s personal charisma. With “Portrait: Ei tulle med øyne blå”, based on a children’s song from 1905, there is even a song in LIV’s native Norwegian on the album. In June 2023, a new interpretation of the song was created together with Geir “Gerlioz” Bratland (Dimmu Borgir, God Seed, The Kovenant, Satyricon), which can now be found on this new release of “Deus ex Machina” as an LP bonus track.
Already at the age of six, LIV KRISTINE showed a special receptivity and understanding of music and the different ways of singing. The song “In the Heart of Juliet” describes how she consciously and unconsciously experienced her childhood, the feelings of happiness, her love of magical melodies, the wonders of nature with its seasons and, most especially, the freedom of being. To this day, she describes the special experience of singing as “my magical bubble”.
Since she was fifteen years old, LIV has been performing with “Theatre Of Tragedy”, “Leaves’s Eyes” and under her own name on stages large and small in over sixty countries, enchanting audiences with her clear and multi-faceted angelic voice.
To date, this has resulted in fifteen albums and numerous collaborations. She was even honoured with a Grammy nomination for her balladic duet with “Cradle Of Filth” in 2005.
For LIV KRISTINE, both as a person and as an artist, authenticity and heart always come first. With the release of “Deus Ex Machina”, she has already proven what a great, independent artist she is and has been inspiring and enchanting people all over the world for over three decades now.
