New BGD Collection Coming Soon!

 

(Self Portrait)

 For those who have written asking...

Yes, I have closed my online store for the moment. I am currently busy putting the finishing touches on my new Blasphemous Girl Designs collection which I will be debuting very soon, so stay tuned for the big re-launch because you do not want to miss this one!

 

I have spent the past 2 months quietly creating the last of my dark magic for the year in the form of custom sacred adornments for your fingers, neck and soul along with 4 new and invoking signature oil & solid perfume limited edition sets with scents inspired by songs on our new album  'Heretic Dreams', 'Moriendo Renascor', 'Hour Of The Wolf' & 'Insomniac Moon'. I have also brought back to life a blood red personal favorite scent of mine 'Sacred Mood' which has been requested by many who missed out on it last time.

NOTE: Many of my custom pieces and perfumes sell out very fast and sometimes within hours of my launch. If you would like to be a part of the inner circle, which means 1 hour advance notice via Facebook and/or email of my collection live, prior to it going public, please drop me a personal message with your name, email and page link to blasfemadora@yahoo.com and you will be notified.

Thank you again to all of you who have continued to support and inspire me creatively from the music ofMy Ruin to the art of BGD.

Love, Mrs M

Mick Murphy with Chevy Metal - On The Road Video!

Also, learn about the rad new project Mick has recently recorded with Taylor Hawkins of Foo Fighters called Birds of Satan coming soon!

Rolling Stone Magazine


When Dave Grohl started playing with Queens of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins needed a way to keep busy, so he teamed up with longtime friends Wiley Hodgden and Mick Murphy for the cover band Chevy Metal. Started, in Hawkins' words, "as a goof," Chevy Metal has evolved to become first a regular live act, and now, Hawkins and his Chevy Metal mates have written and recorded new material as the Birds of Satan, a new project that features a nine and a half-minute title track co-written with Grohl and Murphy.

Tairrie B #4 Female Metal Singers!

Look who just got named #4 in the list of Top 10 Female Metal Singers in OC Weekly today just under Dinah Cancer of 45 Grave(#3), Doro Pesch of Doro & Warlock (#2) and the infamous Wendy O Williams of The Plasmatics (#1).

In great company!

"Unlike punk rock, for some reason the world of heavy metal has not always been the most accepting of women, unless they are scantily clad or topless dancing in the background. However, this post aims to prove to all of the closed minded chauvinists that women can rock just as hard as men, if not harder. The rise of women among metal and hard rock music continues on to our delight, despite the fact that many females still face an uphill battle in a mostly male dominated genre. But, that didn't stop some of the front women listed below from become pioneering figures in deathrock, power metal, metalcore,and even death metal. We now present our list of the Top 10 Female Metal Singers." - Alex Distefano

4. Tairrie B. (My Ruin) Before she was the front woman for Southern-tinged LA-based rockers My Ruin, Tairrie B.'s career can be traced back to 1990, when she recorded a rap album for Eazy-E, entitled The Power of a Woman. Shortly after this album, she decided to pursue a different sound, and formed the alternative metal band Manhole, which later morphed into the darker Tura Satana, and eventually My Ruin, in 1999. Today, My Ruin's music is a head banger friendly blend Black Sabbath, Motorhead, Type O Negative and Corrosion of Conformity with whiskey, weed, aggression and religious themes and imagery. The band also features Tairrie's husband and musical partner, guitar virtuoso Mick Murphy. Tairrie has always had an intense voice, which just screamed for metal, reminiscent of a female Phil Anselmo mixed with Bon Scott. Tairrie's confrontational lyrics often attack hypocrisy, sexism and misogyny, while remaining personal, and sometimes religious in nature.

Chevy Metal in Chile!

3. Mick Murphy - My Ruin, Chevy Metal
This talented, multi instrumentalist and songwriter, for the LA based rock/metal band My Ruin (featuring Murphy's wife of a decade, Tairrie B) is a guitar virtuoso that is one of LA's best-kept secrets in terms of shredders. He is not afraid about being in a now guitar centric rock band, with fuzzy distorted rhythms and riffs as thick as his sideburns. Murphy's talent with a guitar is evident once you seem him live, in often-cathartic performances. His influences are worn on his sleeve and often shirt, and consist of everything from punk, classic rock, hard rock and stoner metal. Murphy's true talent can be heard and seen in My Ruin, where his approach has added more of a old school rock based, doomy, classic metal sound to Mrs. Murphy's lyrics. In a 2009 article, Guitar Player Magazine wrote that Murphy is "One of the most ferocious and creative hard rock guitarists you'll ever hear underground, above ground or bouncing off satellites." Aside from being a song writer and the guitarist of My Ruin, Murphy also lends his guitar playing abilities to the 70s hard rock/metal cover band, Chevy Metal, featuring Taylor Hawkins of the Foo Fighters.
