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! “

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

After their split with ELUVEITIE, Anna Murphy, Ivo Henzi and Merlin Sutter quickly realised their musical journey was far from over. What quickly developed was a unique and fresh combination of grand and heavy riffs, powerful drumming and a unique voice along with the signature folky, earthy tones of the hurdy gurdy. 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 released their first single, ‘Challenge’, and a bonus song called ‘Fire, Wind & Earth’ in September 2016.
