älyavaimet

Alyavaimet are an American rock band from New York City, formed in 2002. The band's members, Marilyn Manson and Tim Sköld, have also been involved in other musical projects, including Marilyn Manson and Shotgun Messiah.

Alyavaimet's music style combines elements of new wave, post-punk, and rock, with potential nods to From Russia with Love and Cruelty. Their debut album, Women and Shame, was released in 2007, but it went largely unnoticed by the general public. The band's members have cited influences as diverse as The Velvet Underground, Motörhead, and Adam and the Ants.

Alyavaimet has been characterized as a side project, with the band's members dedicating most of their time and energy to their other musical pursuits. Despite this, Alyavaimet has maintained a loyal following and has seen a modest level of success, particularly in the underground music scene. Some critics have described the band's music as a more experimental and daring take on the traditional rock sound.

Lyrically, Alyavaimet's songs often explore themes of love, relationships, and existential crisis, with a literary and poetic approach that has earned the band comparisons to The Velvet Underground and other art rock outfits. In contrast to Marilyn Manson's more commercial and showy aesthetic, Alyavaimet's style is characterized by a more stripped-down and introspective approach, with a focus on the emotional intensity and sonic experimentation of the music itself.
