The genesis of September Mourning started in a dark New York basement, where a young girl discovered her father's old comic book collection and quickly became enraptured by the stories, especially the characters and arcs in the Batman series.  'Those resonated with me the most' says band leader and creative driving force Emily Lazar(AKA September). 'The Killing Joke' is still my favorite comic book'.   The stories and characters helped turn Lazar into a life-long artist across several mediums – including ballet, story-telling, visual art, and music.  She has combined those various talents into a living and breathing, graphic-novel-come-to-life with her band of Reapers in September Mourning.   With the release of their new single and video 'Unholy',  they continue to forge ahead with their aural and visual extravaganza.
