BERYL BELOVED ("Beryl" pronounced to rhyme with Cheryl) is a two-man/one-machine alternative outfit based in Colorado, which retains even today the melodic, full-bodied spirit of post-punk, deathrock, and eighties-era gothic rock. Their impressionistic, lyric-focused songs draw from predecessors like Bauhaus and the Southern Death Cult, merging intricate but uncomplicated progressions together with their own brand of storytelling.

There are the songs, of course, which have always spoken for themselves. Since the summer of 2009, Beryl Beloved have nourished a sound that is markedly different - free from formula, and yet full of pop sensibilities. Every release is a display of the theatrical bent, elegance, raw energy, tongue-in-cheek, and spontaneity that remains a signature mark of Beloved's work.

Beryl Beloved's songs have charted various internet radio stations, and the innovative singles "Bought & Sold" and "Down Low" have received FM radio play on the Kansas City new wave show Retro Red-Eye Express.

Sullen Serenade is a single act initiated by Robert Flores in the autumn of 2006. It was inspired by his unique musical ideas and several group projects resulting in a new work of art. The sound consists of vicious and loud percussion combined with wistful melodies giving it a “soundtrack” overtone. The influence for this derives from an eclectic musical selection, many life experiences, cultures and of course, the love of listening to music. Over the years, Robert has dabbled in various drumming and percussion rhythm. He has been a musician for different bands since the early 1990's.

"The Spiritual Bat" is a duo, consisting of Dario Passamonti (Music) and Rosetta Garrì (Lyrics). Initially meant to release all instrumental music, The Spiritual Bat’s first album Through The Shadows underwent an unforeseen change between the circulation of the all instrumental demo and the realization of the final work. When a recording session for acoustic drums was set up, Rosetta took inspiration and on a spur of the moment wrote the lyrics for some of the songs and debuted on her vocal instrument.
