When vocalist Crystal Backman got together with brothers Mark and Richard Dalbeth (bass and guitar respectively) and Ryan Wall (drums) and first presented their unique mix of soaring vocals and powerful, aggressive metal and pop, they were described by a photo-journalist as “beautiful anger”.
And from that comment came their name Bellusira – Latin for “beautiful anger”. With the melody of The Butterfly Effect, the fire of Rage Against The Machine and the commerciality of Evanescence, Bellusira push the musical boundaries to what will be the next wave of this genre – with songs equally suited to heavy rock arenas and mainstream radio What really makes Bellusira stand out is their relentless front woman, Crystal – who not only possesses an impressive vocal range but as a natural performer with the uncanny ability to allure and dominate the audience with a blending of grace, charisma, aggression and intensity. Teamed with fellow band mates Mark, Richard and Ryan, Bellusira’s live show is arguably the most cutting-edge, energetic and emotional show that is going around Melbourne at present. A contagious union of catchy songs with big hooks and a pop song structure of their MySpace release “Wide Awake” has seen Bellusira gather fans from not just all over Australia but across the US, Canada, UK and Europe. With endless drive and determination, Bellusira have set their goals to work harder than ever before and continue to grow their ever expanding fan base.

Seems like the band owners have been pretty boring here, you should get in contact with them and find out why it's empty!
