Cellar Darling is a three-piece heavy progressive rock band from Winterthur and Lucerne, Switzerland founded in 2016.[2] The group was formed by Anna Murphy (vocals, hurdy-gurdy, flute), Merlin Sutter (drums) and Ivo Henzi (guitars and bass). Cellar Darling incorporate rock, heavy metal, folk, classical, and progressive influences. Notably, the band uses a hurdy-gurdy, an old folk instrument (although custom built to incorporate electric pick ups and a modern design) and a traverse flute. The trio has previously been part of the core of the Swiss metal band Eluveitie.

History
On 6 June 2016, former Eluveitie band members Anna Murphy, Ivo Henzi and Merlin Sutter founded the band following their split from their previous band. On 23 September 2016 they launched a single called "Challenge" along with the b-side track "Fire, Wind & Earth".[3][4] The single was self released and the video was created and directed by the band themselves. Cellar Darling played their first ever shows soon after, in December 2016 supporting Amorphis in Zurich, Switzerland[5] and The Gentle Storm in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.[6]
In January 2017 the trio announced their signing to a German metal label Nuclear Blast Records, and that their first album would be released through the label in the summer.[1][7]
On May 4, it was announced that Cellar Darling's first album, entitled This Is the Sound, was to be released on June 30, 2017. They also posted the tracklist of the album.[8]
Cellar Darling released their second single called "Black Moon" on May 19, 2017, along with a music video.[9] This was followed on June 17, 2017 with a third single, "Avalanche".[10] Both videos were shot in Tenerife. [11]
The debut album entitled "This Is The Sound" was released on June 30, 2017 to widespread critical acclaim.[12][13][14]
The band is currently working on their second album to be released in 2019. On 2 November 2018 they released the first single from the upcoming album called "Insomnia"[15]
