The latest triumphant single release by CELLAR DARLING, the hyped new band of ex-ELUVEITIE members Anna Murphy, Merlin Sutter and Ivo Henzi, confirms that CELLAR DARLING are a force to be reckoned with, and they are just getting started!

“’This Is The Sound’ is the kind of album you instantly fall in love with […] one of the finest and most beautiful albums that you would hear in 2017“ – 5/5, Heavymag, AUS

The latest single ‘Avalanche’ promotes their highly anticipated debut album “This Is The Sound”, due to be released on Nuclear Blast Records in just a couple of weeks, on June 30th 2017. ‘Avalanche’ tells yet another grim abstract story, painting a picture of the end of things. In band’s own words:

“We’d like to take you on another journey into a picturesque, abstract world. Listen to the summoners of the ‘Avalanche’. A story about a cult and a freezing end to an intimate deathwish. Shot in the heat of beautiful Tenerife, an intentionally contradictory setting, this video tells you our story with symbolism and movement, contrasts & metaphors. So sit back and let your imagination run wild, enjoy! “

Watch the amazing new clip ‘Avalanche’ here:

»This Is The Sound« is now available for pre-order and you can get their new album in the form of a CD or double vinyl. For a little extra, a limited digibook is also available. Get it here: http://nblast.de/CDThisIsTheSoundNB

ELUVEITIE: First Part Of Album Cover Revealed; First Single Announced

Eight years after melodic death/folk metal masters ELUVEITIE released their acoustic album “Evocation I”, the Swiss musicians have stored their electronic instruments away again in the rehearsal room. “Evocation II – Pantheon” will be released August 18th via Nuclear Blast Records.

Today, the band reveal the first part of the new cover artwork. The next parts will be released tomorrow and Thursday on the Facebook page of the band. The first single of the new album, ‘Epona’, will be released on Friday June 9th, together with the complete cover artwork.


“The time feels right to go on with »Evocation II«! It’s time for the album,” tells mastermind Chrigel, who revived the great concept after three successful albums in the usual ELUVEITIE style. “Evocation II” conjures another time travel to eras long gone. As the title already reveals, the concept of the first opus will continue and is entirely dedicated to the Celtic mythology. Even more, “Evocation II” takes you into the Gallic pantheon and bows down to the Celtic Gods after which the song titles are named. Anyone who will join ELUVEITIE on this journey will quickly notice that the character of each song is equal to the one of the God the song is about – and there is a lot more to discover!

Stay tuned!

CELLAR DARLING Unveil Music Video ‘Black Moon’

CELLAR DARLING, the much-hyped new band formed by ex-ELUVEITIE members Anna Murphy, Merlin Sutter and Ivo Henzi, released a brand new single entitled ‘Black Moon’ along with a new music video. The single promotes their debut album “This Is The Sound” due to be released on June 30th 2017, via Nuclear Blast. ‘Black Moon‘ leads CELLAR DARLING‘s fans through an abstract, apocalyptic vision of the end of the world as seen by different cultures and religions all engulfed in a lunar eclipse. The music video was shot on beautiful Tenerife in very intense sessions.

“We’re proud and happy to present to you the first single from our upcoming album »This Is The Sound«: ‘Black Moon’!

‘Black Moon’ is one of the first songs we wrote after our debut single last year, and probably the point where we definitely “found” our sound. Ivo randomly called his original demo ‘Moon’ and that triggered the idea of a story based on the fear of a black moon… So, as a lyrical theme, we ended up exploring mankind’s tendency to add an apocalyptic interpretation to the lunar eclipse.

We’d like to thank everyone involved for their hard work in the scorching hot ‘lunar landscape’ of Tenerife: the talented Fabienne Fellmann and her fellow actors as well as AVA Studios and their awesome team!
– Anna, Merlin & Ivo

Watch the music video here:

In addition, the band launches the pre-order for »This Is The Sound« and now you can get their new album in the form of a CD or double vinyl. For a little extra, a limited digibook is also available. It features 3 bonus tracks! Each band member chose a cover song to interpret in CELLAR DARLING’s own, unique style. Anna picked ‘The Cold Song’ from Henry Purcell’s “King Arthur” opera, Tears for Fears’ ‘Mad World’, was chosen by Ivo and to top it all off – the epic Queen classic ‘The Prophet’s Song’ – Merlin’s all time favourite. Also included in the digibook will be an alternative and limited cover artwork plus an extended 32-page booklet, filled with the band’s notes on the stories behind their songs. Get it here:

This, combined with classical elements as well as inherited folk influences, led to the creation of something entirely new, setting Cellar Darling on the path of musical innovation.

CELLAR DARLING are storytellers. They want to carry you away into their world of music, awaking the spirit of the stories our parents told us before going to sleep, the dramas of love, war and poverty in the hour-long acts of an opera – the adventures of the human spirit with all its mysteries and emotions.

After their split with ELUVEITIE, Anna Murphy, Ivo Henzi and Merlin Sutter reached out for new shores in 2016 and are now ready to let you see the world through their eyes with their unique and fresh sound, combining grand and heavy riffs, energetic drumming and a unique voice with the signature folky, earthy tones of the hurdy gurdy and classical elements – creating something entirely new, while continuing the spirit of musical innovation they have become known for.

So prepare for a journey into the mystical unknown, as CELLAR DARLING are happy to announce that they have signed with Nuclear Blast records. Anna, Ivo and Merlin comment:

“We are extremely happy to be ‘back home’ after so many years as part of the Nuclear Blast family. They have shown continuing faith in us through difficult times, and we knew they needed to be among the first to hear our new music – and as it should be, everything else quickly fell into place. We are proud and excited to have found partners who understand our music and share our vision; together, we’ll make this year our year!”

CELLAR DARLING are currently working on their debut album, to be released in 2017. They have released a first single, ‘Challenge’, and a second song called ‘Fire, Wind & Earth’ in September 2016. Watch the lyric videos here:
