“Hook-laden spiky guitar, soaring vocals, lashings of (melo)drama, and catchy choruses with insistent, insidious dancefloor rhythms… One To Watch on the UK goth scene… they should become a force to be reckoned with.” – DJ HGV, Carpe Noctum club, Leeds, UK

Melodic Gothic Rock from Whitby. Luciferia (vocals), Karl (guitar) and Dominique (bass) create dark & emotional, yet uplifting & danceable songs that will appeal to fans of Siouxsie & The Banshees, Fields of The Nephilim, Within Temptation and Evanescence.

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 “BREATHE” 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.

May 2022 saw Whitby Abbey invite the band to perform within its grounds as part of their celebrations for the 125th anniversary of the novel Dracula – this generated substantial national and international exposure for the band, with the area that they performed in front of now known as “The ::WESTENRA:: Arches”.
2023 will be another exciting year for ::WESTENRA:: as they will be releasing new material ahead of playing the prestigious tomorrow’s ghosts festival in Whitby in October, supporting gothic rock superstars THE MISSION.

Zeitgeist Zero are an independent gothic band.  Our sound is a combination of heavy guitars and industrial electronics combined with a Debbie Harry/Shirley Manson like vocal.  Our previous album, Ghosts of Victory, received huge critical acclaim and our music has received favourable press coverage, including BBC Radio 6, Sonic Seducer and Devolution.  We have played hundreds of shows throughout the UK and Europe allowing the band to build a loyal following.  The band has worked with top music producers Steve Whitfield (The Cure), John Fryer (NIN) and John Rivers (The Specials). Their three albums and EP have met with international critical acclaim. ‘Dead To The World’ and ‘The Blackout’ were voted “Album of the Month” by popular German music magazine Dark Spy. This has led to festival appearances at Wave Gotik Treffen, Infest and Whitby Goth Weekend.  Lead singer Teresa is also an award winning graduate filmmaker responsible for the band’s video content.
