Cellar Darling Posts New Music Video Online
On March 22nd, Switzerland's Cellar Darling will release their new concept masterpiece "The Spell," which tells the story of a girl who falls in love with death and to get their loyal fans involved, the band had decided to let their online followers cast votes on which song from the tracklist they would like to see released as next single. The winner was the 7-minute long "Drown" and today, you'll get to see the hauntingly beautiful music video that was once again animated by Costin Chioreanu.
"For this single, we wanted to do something different", the band states. "And we felt that our striking one-word tracklist is perfect for a fan vote. To let people decide which song they want to hear next based on only the title and length of the song, and to take us out of the decision process for once. To our surprise -- and joy -- the song that is probably the least "commercial" of all of them was chosen and we think that is kind of cool… we are proud of every chapter of this concept album, so let's go ahead and release a non-single single, for once. We hope you enjoy it!" More...

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!"

2. Black Moon (see video clip here)
3. Challenge
4. Hullaballoo

Cellar Darling Posts "Black Moon" Video
Cellar Darling, the new band formed by ex-Eluveitie members Anna Murphy, Merlin Sutter and Ivo Henzi, today releases a brand new single entitled "Black Moon" along with an accompanying music video.
The single promotes debut album "This Is The Sound," due to be released on June 30th,2017. "Black Moon" leads Cell 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 in the beautiful Tenerife. The band comments:
"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. More...
Cellar Darling Announces New Album Title
Cellar Darling, the new band formed by ex-Eluveitie members Anna Murphy, Merlin Sutter and Ivo Henzi, will release a first studio album on June 30th. The album will feature 14 brand new tracks and is entitled "This Is The Sound."
Anna Murphy comments: “In less than a year we’ve formed a new band, written an album and come up with what we believe is our sound. This is who we are and we’re looking forward to what happens with it!”
Merlin Sutter adds: "This is it: this is the result of nearly one year of incredibly intense creativity, of ups and downs, of loss and gain. This is the most personal work of our lives. This Is The Sound.”
The band also showcased some of these songs two weeks ago for the very first time. Cellar Darling had this to say about the experience: "We’ve had the best time at our show in Lucerne earlier this month! For the first time, we got to play our brand new and freshly recorded songs live for you. We only wish that all of you who couldn’t make it, but who showed us such amazing support in the last year, could have been there with us. It was a magical and unique experience and we can’t wait for more." More...
