A Quarterly Heavy Metal Burlesque Revue curated by Eden Erratica in partnership with BurLEX

The Velvet Guillotine is a decadent, high-impact burlesque revue where brutality meets beauty, leather meets lace, and glamour dies screaming. This is a space carved out for performers who live in the shadows—metal, goth, industrial, punk—artists whose work doesn’t fit into soft themes or retro nostalgia. Here, sensuality is loud, aggressive, feral, witchy, raw, and powerful.

🖤 WHY THE VELVET GUILLOTINE

The Velvet Guillotine exists because there is a deeply underserved pool of performers creating work to heavier music and darker aesthetics—acts that deserve a home where they don’t have to shrink or translate their vision.

This revue creates space for:

Diverse bodies

Non-traditional sensuality

Aggression, catharsis, and emotional extremes

Artists who want to go full throttle

🔪 A QUARTERLY DESCENT

The Velvet Guillotine is a quarterly series, each installment slightly themed while staying rooted in metal’s visceral energy and visual extremes. Expect rotating concepts, evolving aesthetics, and a consistently high-impact experience.

BurLEX fosters an inclusive space for all. Come as you are.
