Plague Rats

For the past 3 days I've been listening to songs by Emilie Autumn almost exclusively. I've listened to maybe 3 songs by Nightwish, but that's about it.
Emilie Autumn is a singer-songwriter, poet, and violinist [and also plays a variety of other instruments, she's just best known for her violin] who has a wide range of musical styles, but is usually classified as Neo-Victorian and Industrial Gothic. However, she labels her style as Victorianindustrial.
If you like darker songs, I suggest Opheliac, I know Where You Sleep, 4 O'clock, or Liar (Manic Depressive Mix) ft. ASP. However, if you like happier, yet sarcastic songs, go with Marry Me, Thank God I'm Pretty, or Miss Lucy Had Some Leaches. If you prefer lyrics that have to do with fairytales or old stories in general, really anything off of "Enchant" is for you. I like Rose Red, Rapunzel, and Castle Down. And last but not least, "Your Sugar Sits Untouched" is an album full of poetry with background music.
Fun facts:
  • The instrumental piece Organ Grinder was used in Saw III
  • EA did a violin piece for Dethklok's Dethharmonic
  • EA also did covers for Bohemian Rhapsody and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
  • EA's fans are labeled Plague Rats, but she calls them "muffins" as well
  • Her real name is Emilie Autumn Liddell [Does anyone else get the Alice in Wonderland reference? :D] Yes, she's actually related to the girl that the book was based off of
  • She classifies herself as asexual
  • I find her to be one of the most beautiful women ever ♥
