His Genius Wife Is A Superstar novel Chapter 299

Chapter 299 - Monster Of Insanity

"Performing this new single for the first time ever on television, please welcome Iris Long and Pandemonium singing ’Monster of Insanity!"

The audience all stood up and cheered like crazy when the hosts introduced the next act. They had been waiting for this moment. Finally, the first of the two most anticipated acts that night was about to start.

Although the stage was still covered in darkness, the Black Stars and the Pandemonium fans could already feel their boss and their hubbies’ aura emanating from the front. At least, that was what they were imagining.

The lights turned on with a loud click, illuminating the stage.

Everyone gasped when they saw Iris Long wearing a beautiful black and purple ombré gown. Her dark and dramatic hair and make-up made her look like a stunning evil demonic queen. Her cold eyes swept across the audience, making them squeal and shiver in excitement.

The Pandemonium members were dressed like gorgeous and sinful vampires about to seduce mortals with their music. Even the musicians playing the flute, violin and cello looked striking in their dark outfits as well.

They hadn’t started performing yet but some of their fans were already starting to feel faint. They cheered and clapped their hands with everything they had.

Iris slowly raised her index finger and pressed it over her blood-red lips, gesturing for everyone to be quiet.

Director He, the two hosts, the show’s staff and the other artists watching backstage were all amazed when everyone was silenced by just a single action from Iris.

"What powerful charisma," Director He commented.

Iris lowered her finger and gave a lingering cold gaze to the audience before smoothly sitting in front of the grand piano at the centre of the stage. After positioning her hands over the piano keys, she closed her eyes and stopped moving. It was as if she froze into a beautiful statue.

The others were also frozen onstage, giving the audience a dark and alluring tableau of wickedly beautiful creatures.

Then Blaze suddenly opened his piercing eyes and swept his arms high up in the air. Thunder sharply beat the drums to match his action, making it more dramatic.

Silence once again.

Nervous anticipation and excitement made the audience tremble on their seats. Oh, they couldn’t wait!

Blaze lowered his hands and wrapped them around the microphone and the mic stand. Then he began to sing in a whispering voice without music.

"I shout, oh I shout out loud

But nobody can hear my voice"

When he began to sing the next lines, Iris opened her eyes and her hands finally moved over the piano keys to play a mysterious melody.

"My words keep on drowning

Drowning in this sea of silence"

Then the beat changed. The drums suddenly upped the tempo for a short time, followed by a complicated opening riff from the lead guitar with the bass guitar adding texture. It transitioned to a mesmerizing piano melody, showing off Iris’ swift fingers on the piano keys.

Both the guitars erupted now and then, yet they didn’t overpower the piano. In fact, all the instruments harmonized in an unusually pleasing way. The violin and cello added another dimension towards the end of such a powerful opening.

The melody and tempo slowed down once again, making the listeners gasp in confusion. However, the thrill of the music boiled in their veins. What kind of music was this?

Blaze continued to sing in a stronger voice this time. Iris and the others played their instruments in a contrasting manner. It was light yet also foreboding at the same time.

"Demons in my mind, chaos in my heart

I lose control, oh I lose control

The world turns crimson

The darkness descends

I’m going insane, oh I’m going insane"

A haunting flute melody was like the call of the devil. The audience shivered until they were once again jolted by another change of tempo.

Iris sang next. Her voice was so sweet that it was the total opposite of the heavy music. Yet everything was oddly harmonizing. It should’ve sounded chaotic, but there was a seamless orderliness within the chaos of contrasting musicality in the song. It was so weird, yet very delightful.

"Cut me up, shoot me down

I’m a monster born from the heart

Your tainted love, your crazy love

Destroying me from deep inside

Save me, oh save me

I’m losing myself

I’m a monster created by love"

Blaze joined her and they sang together.

"Your love, oh your love

It’s haunting me, it’s turning me

Into a monster of insanity!"

The drums took over the music with Iris’ piano providing the melody’s undertone. Then to everyone’s shock, the usually silent Night opened his mouth and began rapping. The original Pandemonium fans almost had a collective heart attack. What the hell?!

"Listen to me!

I cannot breathe

Your love is suffocating me

It’s a poison that’s tainting me _{freeweɓnovel.cѳm}
