About Us:
Since forming in October of 2006,
Angelical Tears has stood as a unique
musical voice in the Oklahoma music
scene. The band's heavy but melodic
sound is the result of a variety of
musical influences such as Goth,
Classical, Metal, and Electronica.
These elements all combine to create a
powerful metal sound with strong
symphonic Goth elements.
The combination of the ethereal vocals
of Julia Flansburg, heavy guitars of
Steven Bittle, pounding bass of Glenn
Flansburg, and thundering drums of JC
give Angelical Tears a style and sound
that sets them apart from their peers
in the Oklahoma music scene.
The band's first show was in the
"March Bandness" battle of the bands
contest organized by 94.7FM "The
Buzz". The band quickly proved itself
by placing in the top four final
bands. Fueled by this initial success,
the band sought further opportunities
to perform, refine their sound, and
develop a fan base. Performances at
regional/national venues like The
Samurai, Reggies, and The Rave/Eagles
Ballroom; at festivals such as Rock
Jam, Dame-Nation, Rose State College's
Festival of Modern Music, and The
Oklahoma State Fair; appearances on
KSBI-TV's "Oklahoma Live", Oklahoma
University TV's "The Set", The
Oklahoma Gazette's Annual Ghouls Gone
Wild Halloween Parade, and The
All-Stars Tour have helped propel
Angelical Tears into the top tier of
bands in Oklahoma. These successes
have also allowed Angelical Tears to
share the stage with numerous
local/regional artists while opening
for national acts such as Bang Tango
and The Misfits, as well as serving as
direct support for the
internationally-reknown Japanese metal
band, Loudness.
Angelical Tears released their debut,
self-titled E.P. in August of 2010.
Music from this CD has gained
local/regional airplay on stations
like KATT 100.5FM, Oklahoma City's
most popular rock radio station. The
EP has received glowing reviews both
domestically and internationally by
Femme Metal Webzine, Sonic Cathedral,
as well as numerous others. The track
"No More" was featured on Australian
record label Blue Freya's compilation
CD "Born of Sand and Snow" as well as
in the soundtrack for the motion
picture "Dark of Moon". The track
"Save Me" will appear on the
soundtrack of the upcoming horror
movie "Waterfront Nightmare". The band
has also consistently held the #1 rank
locally on Reverbnation's metal chart
as well as a current rank of 99
nationally, and 209 globally (July,
2012). The combination of their active
fan base, reception of live
performances, and EP success have also
earned Angelical Tears such honors as
being named Unleash the Furies' Band
of the Month (Sept., 2011).
With their sights now set on national
and international tours, the band has
branched out beyond the Oklahoma area
playing shows in Wisconsin, Colorado,
Illinois, Kansas, Nevada, Tennessee,
and Texas. In addition to actively
touring, Angelical Tears has completed
the recording of their debut LP, "The
Eleventh Hour" which was released June
23rd of 2012.
