Westenra

Westenra are a Melodic Gothic Rock band from the UK who straddle the line of Goth, Alternative Rock & Metal. Luciferia (vocals), Karl (guitar) and Dominique (bass) create dark & emotional, yet uplifting & danceable songs. Since exploding onto the UK goth scene in 2019 ::WESTENRA:: have been building a reputation for captivating live performances of their stylish and atmospheric sound. Their debut album "First Light" was released in January 2021 to rave reviews, followed by a cover version of the Cliff Richard classic "Devil Woman" in March 2022 - a taster for the new, bigger sound featured on the four track EP "B R E A T H E" which was released in July 2022. Their version of Iron Maiden’s "Number of the Beast" - originally meant as an exclusive live performance to celebrate their headlining the Whitby Krampus Run Ball - was released in February 2023, with proceeds going to the Whitby Krampus Run chosen charities. 2023 was another exciting year for ::WESTENRA:: as they released the "Toxic Little Tales" EP ahead of playing the prestigious TOMORROW’S GHOSTS FESTIVAL in Whitby in October, with gothic rock superstars The Mission and post-punk legends Theatre Of Hate. In 2024, Westenra are currently working on their next studio Album. The band are looking to expand further around the UK as well as setting their sights to perform in Europe and beyond.
