Liv Kristine is often called the Queen Of Scandinavian Gothic Metal, a title she earned while fronting the bands Theatre Of Tragedy and Leaves Eyes. But, when Liv released her first solo album in 1998, we got to hear another side of her wonderful voice when she stepped into a new genre of music. That classic debut solo album, Deus Ex Machina, is getting the royal treatment it so deserves with a package containing all kinds of unreleased bonus material, and a chance for fans to own the recording on vinyl for the first time ever. The 2CD package, the vinyl, and the digital all get released March 1st, 2024.
In this interview, Liv discusses the spirit of the album, and what extra charms are included with this re-release. She also talks about the involvement of Gunther Illi, the beginnings of another solo record, and a book of poetry that is set to be released in the future.
Liv Kristine is one of my favorite people in the world. Be ready to feel a positive energy fill your heart as you watch this interview. Liv brings love and light into our world through her music, through her teaching of special needs children, and through her loving soul. It is always an honor to speak with this supremely talented and wonderful lady.

Follow Liv Kristine online:
Hello everyone! My name is Scott Itter, but some know me as Dr. Music. I am a music journalist and photographer out of the Chicagoland area, and I have been in practice for over 20 years. I grew up in the 70’s with two big brothers that showed me all kinds of rock and roll. As I grew older I ventured out into different genres like jazz, funk, folk, and whatever else I could wrap my ears around. As I read every liner note and every Circus and Hit Parader like they were the Old and New Testament, I came to realize that I just love sound and appreciate all the people that create it.
I later became a stay-at-home dad and started honing my writing and photography skills to keep my mind from turning into mashed peas. My kids are now adults, my mind is only slightly mushy, and I am thrilled to have the honor of presenting my work to you!
