Born in the glow of digital midnight, Opaline is the sound of elegance cracking under pressure. Their music fuses industrial rock, dark pop, and cybernetic soul — seductive, mechanical, and heartbreakingly human.
Led by commanding female vocalist Lyra Vale, with a voice that slides between confession and confrontation, Opaline builds worlds where beauty and decay coexist. Neon light meets smoke, divinity meets dysfunction. Every song hums with static — a hymn for the wired and the wounded.
Their debut album, Neon Saints, is a love letter to the modern collapse: salvation in synthetic color, lust tangled with loss, hope dressed in chrome. With lush electronics, venomous guitars, and lyrics that cut like silk, Opaline doesn’t just play music — they perform emotional surgery with a velvet blade.
Opaline isn’t asking to be understood. They’re inviting you to worship at the altar of what’s left when perfection burns out.
Who Are They?
✦ Lyra Vale – Vocals, Lyrics
The voice and venom of Opaline. Charismatic, cryptic, and magnetic onstage — she delivers every lyric like it’s equal parts confession and curse. Lyra grew up in a haze of club lights and bad religion; her voice carries both.
✦ Kieran Ash – Guitar, Synth Programming
Architect of the band’s grinding, luminous soundscapes. Kieran’s riffs drip with distortion and desperation — equal measures beauty and abrasion. A perfectionist with a god complex and a pedalboard that looks like a nuclear control panel.
✦ Nova Rix – Bass, Backing Vocals
The pulse of the machine. Stoic and stylish, Nova anchors the chaos with low-end warmth that hums like a heartbeat through broken glass. Offstage, she’s quiet; onstage, she’s the gravitational center.
✦ Adair Knox – Drums, Electronic Percussion
Mechanical precision, human rage. Adair builds rhythmic architecture out of metal and smoke — live drumming fused with sequenced beats that shake the floorboards. Think ritual, not rhythm.
✦ Eli Thorn – Keys, Sound Design
The band’s resident alchemist, sculpting ambience and noise into shimmering tension. Obsessed with analog synths and silence. The ghost behind the glow.
