About


Take a look at the night sky! Its so starry, so ancient! It holds eternity! Every star has a story to tell! Once when I was a child I discovered the whole new world in there, the parallel one. And from that moment on, every night in my dreams my soul rushes there, it flies into the depth of inner reality: of fantasies, of people secrets, of their desires and feelings

Thats from where the song is born

Imagine, a mystical little girl, the heroine of thriller, who travels in the dreams of the other people while sleeping. This girl is - Me!

Vic Anselmo



Vic Anselmo is a Gothic/Alternative singer and songwriter. A great invention, stunning voice and wide musical horizon let her find her own special ways in creating music. Her songs sound like a soundtrack to dreams. They are very sensual and would amaze you with their dynamic contrasts and sound variety. All that comes together with an impressive onstage image.
Vic Anselmo is bound to be the first Latvian alternative lady to be known outside the Baltic States.

Her debut album "Trapped un a Dream" was out in Europe in October 2008 and got a great response from music media: Newcomer of The Month in Orkus 10.2008, 2nd place in Zillo's sound check, Legacy12/15, Rockoon 5/6, Sonic Seducer Sound check 7th place, Gothic 9.5/10, West Zeit 5/5 and more... Vic Anselmo also entered Latvian FHM magazine with photo session and interview.

Vic Anselmo supported an European tour of German electronic avantgarde duo Deine Lakaien. Vic Anselmo opened all 24 shows of Indicator tour and got a recognition and awesome response of big crowds in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Luxembourg. Except tour with Deine Lakaien she performed two European club tours with her band and big festivals like WGT 2009(D), Waregem Gothic Festival 2010(BE), Castle Party 2009(PL), Elf Fantasy Fair2010(NL), and Dark Mills 2010 in London. .

Some facts:
Vic Anselmo is Victoria’s stage name. Once her friends started to nickname her because of her addiction to Pantera (American metal band). Vic comes from Victoria; Anselmo is the surname of Pantera’s vocalist Phil Anselmo.

Among Vic Anselmo’s favourite acts the following should be mentioned: Pantera, Porcupine Tree, Devin Townsend, Lisa Gerrard, Tori Amos etc.

Vic Anselmo appeared in the new book of the British music journalist Mick Mercer. He has also reviewed her song “Before I Could Breathe” from the upcoming album:

“VIC ANSELMO do beautiful achey pop with ‘Before I Could Breathe’ and I trudged in a sullen fashion to my master copy to see if I’d included her in my new book, fearing the worse, but I had! (Damn, but I’m good!) It’s very commercial and conventional, and just sweeps you away, gloriously.”

Mick Mercer

Her debut album “Trapped in a Dream” has been produced by two members of the Latvian Progressive Death Metal band Neglected Fields, Herman Rigmant & George Kadolchik, and engineered by Gints Lundbergs, who is known as a producer for the Latvian folk metal band Skyforger.

    Dear Vic, I am so grateful that I finally had the chance to see you live (a big thank you to Deine Lakaien for choosing such an excellent opening act!) - there was only one thing I didn't like about your set: it was too short!
    Thank you, you're wonderful!! :-)
