Thank you everyone for tuning in! Apparently the chat is closed (first time we're doing this, really...), but we're happy to answer questions here in the comments!
First premiere for me as well, and was an amazing start! Solid candidate for AOTY already, love the central doomy part with the flute solo, and the restart gives you so much energy! Wanted to know if you'll play songs both from "The Spell" as well as from "This Is The Sound" in the upcoming tour, and if you plan to share the stage with other musicians or to rely to pre-recorded sounds for parts the 3 of you can't play at the same time. See you in Rome!!
@@marcodambrosio4711 Hi Marco! Yes, we will definitely play material from both albums. We try to invite guests whenever possible, although it can be difficult -- guess we'll just have to learn some more instruments... We try to avoid pre-recorded sounds as much as possible. And we cannot wait for Rome!
5:45- onwards brings tears to my eyes. It’s been a few years since I’ve heard that much emotion in a vocal performance in any metal album. Stunningly beautiful.
This is fuxking fascinating. Entrancing. It feels older than it is, in a good way. As a long time metal fan, I appreciate still being genuinely surprised by a fresh sound, so thanks for that
Definitely. I like avalanche and acoustic death , redemption, , under the oak tree and love pt.2. You can really hear her ranges in her voice.Shes so talented and has such a beautiful voice
The way this is sung, makes it feel so sad but also solemn, when we finally meet death. Leaving loved ones but also suffering and pain behind, the mood of this song catches the theme perfectly. All in all a beautiful song
Honestly, this is amazing, even more knowing that the public was the one to vote and choose this song to be the next released. And what a great surprise, one hell of a song, catchy chorus, beautiful lyrics, astonishing instrumentals. Kudos to you all!!
Everything about this song is incredible! And 5:00 on to the end - some of the best, powerful and emotional music I've heard. Anna's voice is so good here! Especially the 5:15 to 6:00 mark!
This gives me ‘the Gathering with Anneke van Giersbergen’ vibes sooooo much!! Wow!!! Anna’s voice sounds so much like Anneke in this song and a part of the album. She is a great singer! She got even better in Cellar Darling. and I love the vibes of the songs in this album ❤️
This has a very, very The Gathering-like feeling to it. Someone might have commented the same, but I don't really care, writing down the overwhelming feeling that came to me after the listen.
i've just discovered this band and i'm in love ! It reminds me a bit of Opeth and Katatonia but the vocals are just so beautiful ! I like the art too, i'm really looking forward to your next songs !
I love this band so much. What a beautiful project between these friends. A difficult situation was made into a very positive one when this band was founded!
I couldnt believe when I read in the comments that this was Anna from Eluveitie. Her voice has matured beautifully, I have a feeling this will become one of my favorite band in very little time... As is The Gathering. LOVE THIS!!!!
i am becoming a fan very quickly. and the artist from the carach angren videos makes everything so stylish and emphatic. you also have a nice tendency to make the songs feel all emotional at the end and thats so nice, thank you Cellar Darling
Oh hell yeah! Will be buying a vinyl copy for sure. This is exactly the type of music that screams to be listened to on vinyl. Very analog. Loved it and look forward to hearing more!
I love the mood of this song, the sombre proggy feel. The three tracks so far show even further musical progression and ambition. Each song is so different yet so Cellar Darling!
I like how they let the music breathe a little, it gives it a nice open feel. It's not constant singing. Like Frank Zappa said, "Shut up and play yer guitar!"
There aren't a lot of heavier bands that I can get my wife into, but when it comes to proggy folk metal/rock, Cellar Darling is certainly one of the best. We are both hooked.
Honestly I love that you guys pulled this off so well. The mixing, the instrumentals, and god Anna’s voice is breathtaking. I hope to hear so much more with this band in the future! Much love from Texas.
Sounds a lot like Nighttime Birds-era The Gathering, though with a bit of Progressive Rock tossed in the middle. Quite a neat combo, I'm really considering purchasing the album. And many thanks to Nuclear Blast, it seems you guys got a lot of talented artists releasing great stuff this year - already got Beast in Black's From Hell with Love and Avantasia' Moonglow, and now I have Cellar Darling's The Spell on my radar. Keep 'em coming. :D
I fucking love this dark and deep sound that the band is cultivating, away of the initial sound that was too much like Eluveitie, not bad at all but this new Cellar Darling sounds like Cellar Darling and noone else
I think this sounds a bit like mid-to-late 1990s The Gathering, especially the vocal harmonies. But the instrumental section (especially the flute solo) sounds closer to a classic progressive rock like King Crimson. So yeah, a rather unique mix.
Favorite female vocalist of all time! and especially after hearing about Anna's condition and kept fighting through it never gave up pushed through it #legend #beautifulvoice #musichealer #inspirational #exeluveitie keep up the good work love the content and can't wait to buy the next cd and shirt greetings from Ohio :)
I will never forget meeting you guys at RockHarz after catching one of Merlin's drumsticks :D that was just awesome. If the rest of the Songs from this Album have the same Quality this might become my favourite Album of the last 10 Years. It's just impressive how many different Genres and stylistic methods are used. And every song seems unique, no repetition everything just so well thought through. As a Musician i can just give you all my respect for so much quality in every song so far :)
It was stunning to watch. The artstyle is beautiful and the music is exactly my taste. I liked that you put more "deepness" into your songs and that this album got a progressive touch. Maybe someday I will be finally able to see you on a concert :)
I didn't listen to their first album a whole lot, don't know why, but damn though, this song, and the whole album, is amazing! I have to go back now to see what I missed from their first release. I love this song in particular from the new album, super great melodies, lyrics, aesthetics, everything. Always liked Anna's voice and she shines here for sure. Captivating song.
Wow! I love it so much! Can’t wait to hear the whole album :) I really appreciate the fact that all songs are bit different, but also share the same vibe (and the main story of course). Cheers from Moscow ;)
Idonno how healthy to listen to songs like this when im constantly having an existential crisis, but i just love it way too much to stop listening to it
This sounds incredible. I saw them in Philly last night and they played this live. The flute backed by the heavy guitar and drums was perfect. My only disappointment was the set was just 30 min. I want to see them headline so badly
Okay wow the new album is absolutely addictive, I can only describe your sound as eargasm and I mean seriously, the melody, the bass, the vocals and the animation of videos are captivating. Love Eluveitie and love the fact that Cellar Darling are taking their own path. P.S. I adore this so much guys please come to Greece again unfortunately I've learnt about your concert last year a few days later :( P.S.2 Hello to all JoJo fans out there 😉
@@CellarDarling so happy to hear that, I'll remain a devoted fan no matter, you are more than just promising and thank you for replying and listening your fans ♥
@@christinan.1596 Oh, I'm saying that both of these labels put out amazing music. Nuclear Blast and Season of Mist are both really good record companies.
Daniel Gone Guitar Man, you nailed it, I was trying to put my finger on the familiarities of the song, and that’s totally it. It’s also probably why I like it so much!
Saw you guys playing with Katatonia and knew I recognised the voice. Loved your show and it was definitely a surprise as we had no clue. Kudos to the band for stealing a bit of thunder from the might of Katatonia in that show !!!
Anna ever since I first heard her and saw her in eluveitie call of the mountains I've had the biggest crush on her. And she just happens to play my favorite instrument in history of the world. She has the voice of a goddess and the face to match. She's definitely one of the most talented women there is. It's a shame that the modern pop music is what's more common and well-known than stuff like this. I will always say that the women of metal have the absolute best voices in music. Absolutely unmatchable. And Anna Murphy is a perfect example of it
This is by far some of the most beautiful, melodic, doomy, trance like greatness of metal that i have seriously ever heard, im an instant addict now!!! thank you guys keep it up, love from the mountains in P.A.
Absolutely fantastic song. Anna's vocals really shine here, so warm and powerful. I get reminded a lot of Madder Mortem, from the complexity and dynamic of the song, and Anna's lows does sound remind slightly of Agnete (when she's not in her "mad witch" mode, haha!). Stoked for the new album!

@@marcodambrosio4711 ...we hope that's a good sign then ;)
@@CellarDarling it definitely is! :)
Amazing how that flute solo actually makes this song more metal!!! The way this song transitions from each stanza is incredible.
First listen: Okay, this is pretty good
Second listen: Holy shit, this is good
Third listen: Repeats forever
me since the first listening : Repeats forever.
true point i listen first time not too bad second listen good job
Its just perfect how the visual art matches the sound
I'm digging the dark melancholic feel of the song. Also love that you guys bring a bit more complexity and progressive elements into this album!
Starting from 5:05 and leading forward, Anna's vocals give me chills every damn time. Such power and versatility in her voice.
I can hear Anna's vocals have evolved. She has more confidence in her voice.
5:45- onwards brings tears to my eyes. It’s been a few years since I’ve heard that much emotion in a vocal performance in any metal album. Stunningly beautiful.
This is fuxking fascinating. Entrancing. It feels older than it is, in a good way. As a long time metal fan, I appreciate still being genuinely surprised by a fresh sound, so thanks for that
Her vocals were good with Eluveitie but with Cellar Darling it is great. She hits these high notes very similar to Anneke Van Giersbergen.
I feel the same...
A nice coincidence. Love the Gathering feeling of the songs. Still they have their own sound.
Oh yeah! I hear vuur in this song
Your right about that. She's amazing. She's my Favorite female vocalist. Then Aurora and Alina Lesnic
Definitely. I like avalanche and acoustic death , redemption, , under the oak tree and love pt.2. You can really hear her ranges in her voice.Shes so talented and has such a beautiful voice
I have never heard of Costin Chioreanu, but the videos he made for Insomnia, the Spell, and now Death are spectacular!
You must check out the previous album, iirc he also did the one for Six Days, one of my favourite songs all time!
And now Dignity by Opeth
The way this is sung, makes it feel so sad but also solemn, when we finally meet death. Leaving loved ones but also suffering and pain behind, the mood of this song catches the theme perfectly. All in all a beautiful song
Anna is so nice. I met her with Eluveitie in Salt Lake City. Amazing vocalist and performer and such a sweetheart.
This song seriously sounds as if it had escaped from a 90's album. This is of course a major compliment.
Honestly, this is amazing, even more knowing that the public was the one to vote and choose this song to be the next released. And what a great surprise, one hell of a song, catchy chorus, beautiful lyrics, astonishing instrumentals. Kudos to you all!!

How is this not viral wtf it's so good
Yeah, really unique.
I love this band so much. What a beautiful project between these friends. A difficult situation was made into a very positive one when this band was founded!
I like the deep voice she has here...Didn't hear it when she was in Eluveitie. Very dark.
i dont think you know what a deep voice is
@@kahmul @Og Nargual Duh, obviously singers like Adele or Ville Valo has deeper voices. Anna's voice sounds lower and deeper here. Get the context.
From Brazil. Man, I really loved this song, beautiful clip, beautiful voice, it was all amazing!!
wtf is this atmosphere ? seems like the end is near!!! Good job guys this is what metal needs ! A big fan from brazil!
We're swiss. Our pride and pleasure are silent.
corona is in the atmosphere
An amazing song. Blown away by that flute solo 😮
I only discovered Cellar Darling about a month ago and I have to say that I’m absolutely captivated by this album - thank you for your amazing work!
Also, I absolutely love the break starting around 3:37, maybe my favorite part of all your songs
I couldnt believe when I read in the comments that this was Anna from Eluveitie. Her voice has matured beautifully, I have a feeling this will become one of my favorite band in very little time... As is The Gathering. LOVE THIS!!!!
Even after so many replays, 5:45 still keeps sending shivers down my spine
Nice flute solo !
This flute solo is madness ;)
Yeah that kind of took me by surprise lol
Heavy metal flute, hell yes!
I feel like if you've lost someone this video will hit home. I lost my father last year and related so much to the lyrics and video.
i am becoming a fan very quickly. and the artist from the carach angren videos makes everything so stylish and emphatic. you also have a nice tendency to make the songs feel all emotional at the end and thats so nice, thank you Cellar Darling
The flute is great,great,great!
Oh hell yeah! Will be buying a vinyl copy for sure. This is exactly the type of music that screams to be listened to on vinyl. Very analog. Loved it and look forward to hearing more!
I love the mood of this song, the sombre proggy feel. The three tracks so far show even further musical progression and ambition. Each song is so different yet so Cellar Darling!
This is a real Doom Folk Metal. What a perfect junction
Listen to Apocalypse Orchestra.
Progressive folk rock actually. Nothing abt this is doom
@@ashwilliams9670 as I said...progressive Folk Rock
@@ashwilliams9670 Of course it's metal, yes! And with much influence of Doom metal.
Its doom folk with some nu metal riffing.
The flute solo is brilliant.
This song just takes me on a journey every time I hear it. It's honestly one of the best things I've found this decade.
Bravo!
The flute part is a masterpiece.
I like how they let the music breathe a little, it gives it a nice open feel. It's not constant singing. Like Frank Zappa said, "Shut up and play yer guitar!"
There aren't a lot of heavier bands that I can get my wife into, but when it comes to proggy folk metal/rock, Cellar Darling is certainly one of the best. We are both hooked.
The chorus is really Katatonia-ish, really digging it!
thtree Feeling some Katatonia vibes for sure especially part that starts in the middle... very impressed!
That chorus! I will be repeating this all day. Very well done Anna and everyone!
I just love the video and the music? It's never disappointed. I love anna's voice and her hurdy gurdy
Takes u away.. what a sound.. what a voice!
Merci pour ce moment de grâce...Je n'ai rien entendu d'aussi jouissif depuis très longtemps...Longue vie à vous...
I'm blown away. This album is going to be fantastic.
Honestly I love that you guys pulled this off so well. The mixing, the instrumentals, and god Anna’s voice is breathtaking. I hope to hear so much more with this band in the future! Much love from Texas.
This is so unique, it is trully art, mixing different genres, haven't heard a band so good in a long time!
Sounds a lot like Nighttime Birds-era The Gathering, though with a bit of Progressive Rock tossed in the middle. Quite a neat combo, I'm really considering purchasing the album.

So yeah, a rather unique mix.
Yet another outstanding piece of art made by Costin Chioreanu!
Album of the year potential.
Why?
Such a sublime way of singing about death. Can´t stop listening to the song
The drums mix in this really works for me.
Had the song stuck in my head after 1 listen. Phenomenal work
This is the most mind blowing and beautiful thing I've ever witnessed
Après le magnifique Insomnia, voici la nouvelle pépite du groupe.
Vivement le mois de mars pour avoir l'album entre les mains.
Her voice takes me somewhere else.
this is my new favorite song. can't wait to get home from the factory to hear it again!!!!
Favorite female vocalist of all time! and especially after hearing about Anna's condition and kept fighting through it never gave up pushed through it #legend #beautifulvoice #musichealer #inspirational #exeluveitie keep up the good work love the content and can't wait to buy the next cd and shirt greetings from Ohio :)
I clicked because "why not" and it's giving me the freaking chills. Awesome!

Maybe someday I will be finally able to see you on a concert :)
I’ve bought tickets to their show in London on my birthday this year. Never been to a gig/concert before so this should be fun :)
This song helped me grieve for my pet. Thank you for that.

That's my favourite from the new ones so far. The flute solo really elevates it.
I can't stop listening to this song. The new album is looking amazing. Can't wait to see you in Glasgow!
Can't wait to play Glasgow soon! Will we see you on 28 March then?
@@CellarDarling sure, I've got my ticket. It will be the 2nd time I see you there 😝
Great Song, Great Singer And Great Band.....
Wow! I love it so much! Can’t wait to hear the whole album :)
I really appreciate the fact that all songs are bit different, but also share the same vibe (and the main story of course).
Cheers from Moscow ;)
Absolutely a great track,nothing sounds like this
yes, absolutely agree and I wasn't a fan of them before.
The chorus is just so incredibly amazing, it was also amazing seething them live in Philly this past month
Idonno how healthy to listen to songs like this when im constantly having an existential crisis, but i just love it way too much to stop listening to it
I can't believe it is a year already... Anna, your voice is beautiful... :)
This sounds incredible. I saw them in Philly last night and they played this live. The flute backed by the heavy guitar and drums was perfect. My only disappointment was the set was just 30 min. I want to see them headline so badly
This is so perfect! I am addicted. I hear this song all the day.
Mind Blown 🤯🤯
Anna , Ivo and Merlin
All 3 of you have done such a great great job
#Masterpiece
The vocals and the music go together very well! Go Cellar Darling!
This gets better every time that I listen to it.
It's one of the best song I've ever listened to. Astonishing! I have to buy their records!

The gathering meets opeth. Awesome
the vocal melodies really do sound like something you'd hear from Anneke.
Exactly my thoughts! Amazing sound!
Daniel Gone Guitar Man, you nailed it, I was trying to put my finger on the familiarities of the song, and that’s totally it. It’s also probably why I like it so much!
It's very similar to The Gathering itself
I get your point!..
Been finding so much good music can't keep track of it all
This...is...awesome!!! You are great Anna!
Another awesome song. Really looking forward to seeing you all again in London in March.
I'm sooooooooooo glad that Cellar Darling is as different from Eluveitie as imaginable! Love this awesomeness as much as that 😍❤️
Saw you guys playing with Katatonia and knew I recognised the voice. Loved your show and it was definitely a surprise as we had no clue. Kudos to the band for stealing a bit of thunder from the might of Katatonia in that show !!!
5 seconds in and im already loving it!! You guys are flipping amazing!
Whole song's pretty sweet, but damn, that mid section is just literally ethereal.
Such an amazing song. I didn't know the band. I'm going to hear the album. This is great.

Beautiful music. Anna Murphy's voice provide a feeling peace.
This is by far some of the most beautiful, melodic, doomy, trance like greatness of metal that i have seriously ever heard, im an instant addict now!!! thank you guys keep it up, love from the mountains in P.A.
I tried singing along to this but ended up crying. Seems about right!
Absolutely fantastic song. Anna's vocals really shine here, so warm and powerful. I get reminded a lot of Madder Mortem, from the complexity and dynamic of the song, and Anna's lows does sound remind slightly of Agnete (when she's not in her "mad witch" mode, haha!). Stoked for the new album!
