Bulgarian Female Fronted, Extreme Metal Act GWENDYDD Premieres Music Video Of Brand New Album “Censored”!
Out Now On Drakkar Entertainment
On Tour With DARK TRANQUILLITY & ENSIFERIUM!
In support of their second studio album, Censored, Sofia-based female fronted, extreme metal force GWENDYDD has just premiered a new music video for the blistering track “Martyrdom”! Censoredis out today on Drakkar Entertainment and available at THIS LOCATION. Their new video clip is now streaming here:
GWENDYDD has developed from an unusual perspective when it comes to the metal scene, as it all started at prime-time TV talent show “The Voice Of Bulgaria”. Pop starlet after pop starlet are giving their best to lull the audience with their favourite tearjerker. And then there is this innocent girly voice, performing Taylor Swift’s “Look what you made me do”. Both audience and jury feel safe and sound. Until the song reaches the first chorus. What happened then, shocked and electrified the studio audience and a whole country in front of their TVs. With her brutal and angst-inducing death metal growls she seems to be ripping apart the original US pop star and spitting her left-overs all over the studio interior. Shock and joy, curiosity and fear melt into ecstatic cheering and a hurricane of applause.
That girl’s name is Victoria Stoichkova and her performance quickly reached more than five million views on You Tube with a bursting comment section full of enthusiasm and cheering. This was the starting point of a career for sure, and what soon should become a full band and Europe’s next up-and-coming, extreme metal hopes GWENDYDD!
Formed in 2018 in Sofia, Bulgaria, and driven by a modern production, complemented by the mastering fingerprint of Max Morton (Jinjer, Ignea,..), the band‘s vibrant blend of wrecking guitar riffs and adrenalizing drums builds up to an extreme-metal avalanche. The perfect carrier for that brute death metal voice, which cuts deep into the flesh of modern society – not only with words but with a message.
