Westenra
Burn Me Once
Self Released
Out Now!!!
Come feast on ‘Burn Me Once’ and fill your empty soul with melodic, atmospheric tunes which delight in chilling and thrilling impressionable little minds - and those that should know better too. This is Goth in its natural habitat. Rich and deep vocals giving the vibe of emerging from a chamber. Lush strings and keys (‘I Regret’). Dark disco (‘Sweet Poison Pill’). Rockier ‘Time’ and ‘Stuck In A Cage’ are temptations to throw down your best, most mournful moves. And ‘Burn Me Once’ gives a little something to think about too. Westenra lure you in by calling things out. Gloriously chaotic electro-led guitar-grinding ‘Ghosts In The Machine’ takes on that pesky AI. And there's social media equals shit show anthem ‘For All To See’. Singer Luciferia’s vox really locks in on ‘Hold Me Close’, soaring through her range in this Evanescence-esque track. ‘Burn Me Once’ is pure Goth unleashed, unhinged, and everything you want it to be. But it’s inspired in part, by some things that we all wish were more under control.
