Lovelorn Dolls
Lovelorn Dolls is a Belgian female-fronted gothic rock/metal band founded by guitarist Bernard Daubresse and singer Kristell Lowagie.

History Lovelorn Dolls consists of the duo Ladyhell ( Kristell Lowagie) (vocals, arrangements, words) and Corpus Christi (Bernard Daubresse) (music, programming, guitars, production). They mix alternative, electro and rock and are inspired by the visual styles of Tim Burton and Marilyn Manson and musically by Lacuna Coil, Evanescence, The Birthday Massacre and Garbage.
