Cellar Darling This is the sound

2017, Cellar Darling was formed by Anna Murphy (vocals, hurdy-gurdy), Merlin Sutter (drums) and Ivo Henzi (guitars and bass) in the summer of 2016. The trio has previously been part of the core of Switzerland's most successful metal band to date, Eluveitie, touring the world in 45+ countries on six continents for over a decade, and forming a bond that could overcome any adversity. Anna, Ivo And Merlin have turned the departure from their old band into a new beginning, and have moved on to create their own distinct sound, while continuing the spirit of musical innovation they have become known for. Cellar Darling's music is an epic, theatric combination of grand, heavy riffs, powerful drumming, and a unique, both powerful and fragile voice - combined with influences ranging from folk to classical music. Multi-instrumentalist Anna Murphy further colours the band's sound with her hurdy gurdy and its signature folky, earthy tones, and with the classical flute.
