On The Black Rose, the second LP by Church of Starry Wisdom, the band continues their sonic exploration of life, despair, ecstasy and the perpetual human quest to discover the magic that brings joy to our tears.

The Black Rose is a sprawling retro-futuristic, pop-rock fantasia. On the LP the band blends elements of Dark Wave, Power Pop, Gospel, and R&B to create a unique sound all their own.

Sounds like: David Bowie, Radiohead, Prince, Rocky Horror Picture Show.

“ ...Imagine a mutant lab experiment combining the DNA of Prince and David Bowie singing lead vocals for the Sisters of Mercy. This is some of the best goth-rock I've heard live in at least 10 years.”

— Vertigo Xi'an Xavier

“...I feel like I’m hearing Bowie’s hidden f@#king songs right now…”

— Jeri Sapronetti (Time Cat, Big Pop)

“It’s a mixture of David Bowie and funk in the best way possible.”

— Ryan Colin McGrew (Audio Engineer)

“Great emotional wide-scale songwriting; and fearless, passionate execution in live performance... This is a band that you'll remember; for all the right reasons.”

— Dave Snodgrass (Rick Ray Band)

A retro-futuristic goth-classic rock band based in Akron, Ohio.

We sing songs of life, death, love, disdain, hope, Despair, dissolution, evolution, order, and the Chaos that crawls between. Everything is sacred. Nothing is sacred.
