Edgar Allan Poets call their genre “Noir Rock” because their music is inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's tales and Hitchcock's movies. Their sound is crepuscular and deep.
The Band:
The Edgar Allan Poets are an alternative band with a unique sound that combines heavy guitars, classical strings, and lyrics that evoke tales shrouded in shadow and mystery. The band was formed by Chris Mariotti and The Shadow, with Chris on the vox and guitar, and Shadow handling drums and keys. The two artists have a deep admiration for Edgar Allan Poe's gothic work, as well as their mutual love of Alfred Hitchcock films, which has inspired the direction and sounds of their work.
Their music has been compared to that of Alice in Chains, Him, and Type O Negative. They have produced well-received tunes like Cryptic Code and Crow Girl, with every track revealing something new upon each listen. Their sound is constantly evolving as they explore different influences from grunge, rock, darkwave, and goth, and strive to keep their style in a class by itself.
On their website, the Edgar Allan Poets invite visitors to share their own artwork, videos, and music, creating an open community of like-minded individuals who share a passion for music and culture. Critics and fans alike agree that if you enjoy Hitchcock movies and Edgar Allan Poe, the music of the Edgar Allan Poets and the world they want to share is more than worth a listen.
