Spell of Enchantress is a traditional Blackened Gothic Doom metal band formed in 2021.

Dear fans and press, please bear with me, as this is not an easy message to write. A month ago, my bandmate let me know he could no longer continue Spell of Enchantress as it is.  Composing for this band became too demanding, with very little payoff, and he chooses to tour with another project. This was not my decision, and it was a surprise as I had recorded the second single for the second album and was working on recording our third single. But I understand his decision and have to admit that for years I have felt frustrated that my health issues have prevented me from giving everything I wanted into this project.  I want to underline that this is an amicable decision, there is no one to blame. Sometimes, life simply gets in the way. Now, we agreed we still want to collaborate on covers, as we had started a few already. Spell of Enchantress being his project to begin with, he may re-record some of the songs as his solo versions as he sees fit but I will no longer be involved in original materials with this project for the foreseeable future.  I still have a few CDs of our first album available, you can order from the website here https://www.spellofenchantress.com/shop . We will not be re-issuing this album. As the manager of the band, I learnt so much over the years. The music industry is very demanding and we are both happy with what we have achieved with Spell of Enchantress.  We did this music because we love it and missed it dearly.  We knew it was bold to release 8 minutes gothic doom metal tracks, singing in 2 languages, about despair and inner torture. We never cared about the trends. I am so deeply proud I did what I wanted, vocally, visually, lyrically.Since I was 16yo improvising operatic harmonies on black metal, it always was my dream to actually do just that in a band. Very few people know that we pulled all of this off without ever meeting, with a grand budget of about 300€  for our first CD, and had to build our fan base and media coverage from the ground up.    I am deeply grateful for the support of all of our fans, of all the medias who supported us, of all the bands and festivals who offered us a chance to perform. I am sorry we never brought this project to the stage.  Now, about what’s next for me: You can follow my follow solo music project In Spite of Thunder. I have quite a lot of my own new material waiting to be released, but as a transition, I am currently re-working that second single to make it fit In Spite of Thunder sound.Give me the time to find the right live musicians and I will be happy to do more In Spite of Thunder live shows. One live video is public on my Youtube channel, the first show is available in full on the fanclub.  I will be happy to collaborate with new projects, so hit me up if you’d be interested.  Thank you for all your incredible kindness since I joined Spell of Enchantress, your words mean so much more than you could ever imagine.  See you soon with In Spite of Thunder Take care Cathy Listen to my original music on streaming platforms : Bandcamp : https://inspiteofthunder.bandcamp.com/follow_me Amazon : https://www.amazon.com/s?k=In+Spite+of+Thunder&i=digital-music&ref=dm_aw_ps_adp Amazon Music : https://music.amazon.fr/artists/B07ZBNTLX5/in-spite-of-thunder Apple Music :https://music.apple.com/us/artist/in-spite-of-thunder/1484075031 iTunes : https://music.apple.com/us/artist/in-spite-of-thunder/1484075031 Youtube : https://youtube.com/@Inspiteofthunder Spotify : https://open.spotify.com/artist/5A1D56onHDSxaCc7kqHWHn Deezer : https://www.deezer.com/en/artist/76618842 Follow me on social medias : Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/InSpiteofThunder Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/InSpiteofThunder Website : http://inspiteofthunder.com Twitch : https://www.twitch.tv/inspiteofthunder Metal Archives : https://www.metal-archives.com/artists/In_Spite_of_Thunder/959199

Heavily inspired by the first Tristania albums, Theatre of Tragedy, Draconian and Cradle of Filth, the band uses melodic guitars and brutal riffs.
They combine harsh death metal male vocals and ethereal female operatic vocals, with poetic lyrics in English and French.
After releasing 3 singles on all streaming platforms, Spell of Enchantress released its first album on December 1st of 2023.
The new single from the second album will be released on January 31st 2025, pre-order it now!

Bandcamp Fan comment:
Funeral Fog DRENCHED in beauty!!! Massive gothic doom, gorgeous vocals, pianos, and magnificent guitars/drums. I had quite high hopes for the album and I didn’t realize how far it would exceed my expectations. This album is full of wintry cold atmosphere, you feel like you’re in a theater for the anguished dead. Favorite track: Regrets.

Reviews

Dark and beautiful gothic doom! A must buy! Looking forward to a full album.
(Bandcamp Fan)

It sounds excellent. It’s multidimensional in that it’s operatic, atmospheric in partis and the death metal vocals too. It actually reminds me of the Katatonia -Dance in December Souls album. It gives off quite the gothic vibe.
(Instagram Fan)

There is the ethereal beginning similar to latter day Kind Diamond, then it kicks into heavier transition accompanying the clean vocals. There’s even a hint of ‘Blood Incantation’. (Instagram fan)

Band Members

Cathy: Operatic Soprano.

Cathy is a French goth and a classically trained singer.
As a child I was always singing. I was lucky to enter public music school in Paris at 4 years old.
I studied jazz transverse flute, music theory and classical singing as choir member and lead soprano.
I left music school at 16. Around that time, I discovered gothic music with The Cure, Theatre of Tragedy and Tapping the Vein.
I also fell in love with black metal listening to Hyposcrisy, Cradle of Filth and Dimmu Borgir.

I love literature and poetry in English and French, and all things DIY.
I am also a professional hair and make-up artist.

Sermilion: Metal songwriter and extreme vocalist.

I always liked music but never imagined writing music myself.
It seems like a superpower that only chosen people possess.
Hence, I never even tried to make my own music till I was 19, but due to lack of time and financial resources I did not succeeded.
In 2020 I decided to give up on music altogether as over the years I did not get good at even playing guitar.
I decided to sell my guitar and focus on other things.
But next morning something changed in me and I went all in. I found a sound engineering school, hider an extreme vocals teacher and started making music almost everyday, like there is no tomorrow.
Since then, almost two years later I have wrote over 100 songs of various genres of Metal music and released 7 albums to major music streaming services.
My primary music style is Melodic Death Metal, but I also have Gothic, Metalcore and Nu Metal albums among other genres.
I love music of all genres and you will never catch me ashamed of listening to a certain artist that is not “Metal enough” or whatever else is uncool. Good music is good music regardless of genre.
