Helalyn Flowers

What is it about Rome that transformed Maxxx and N0emi into total human-defective hybrids? This… we may never know!

It was the drive on an immense self-destructive instinct that led both Italian artists to erase their nu-metal past and to give birth to the Electro-Alienating Beat Rock band known as…HELALYN FLOWERS.

Cornelia

Cornelia: 'Oxygen is my friend.
Without her, you could say I just wouldn't be.
My song... our song, that you hear - it’s a relationship. Our conversation.
The air and my chest meeting at some half way point in my throat. So, this is what I do. I write songs, and in turn they rewrite me.
