Canadian solo artist Ember Belladonna has unveiled a new single, "Spirit Woman", featuring The Inferno Doll. The ethereal track sees magical flute melodies and serene vocal lines entwine with The Inferno Doll's fierce harsh vocals and heavily distorted rhythms. Landing ahead of Ember Belladonna's debut album, The Grove, set for release on 9 February, "Spirit Woman" offers a darkly tantalizing taste of the forthcoming full-length.
Ember Belladonna comments on "Spirit Woman": "We [Ember Belladonna and The Inferno Doll] wrote this song inspired by the Irish legend of the Dearg-Due. The tale tells the story of a woman who was wronged by men in life. After her death, she rises from the grave and hunts the people who wronged her and drains their blood. The legend goes that the young woman was married off by her father to an abusive man. Her father ignores her pleas to let her marry the man she loves. The woman dies shortly after. Her rage continues past the grave and she seeks vengeance on the people who wronged her. After taking her revenge on the men who wronged her, she lives on as a legend. A woman of terrible beauty who lures men in and drains their blood".
Ember Belladonna began playing the flute at the age of nine and soon after was introduced to the world of metal. Continuing with classical lessons into adulthood, Ember Belladonna sought to find a way to combine her classical instrument with her love of metal in a distinctive way. Her musical inspiration comes from a wide array of epic film and video game scores, heavy metal music and other flautists. Notable influences include the likes of The Lord Of The Rings, Baldur's Gate, and The Witcher, along with artists such as Myrkur, Heilung, Eluveitie, and Children Of Bodom. Ember Belladonna appears on The Inferno Doll's heavy single "Renfield" (2022) and on Adon's upcoming black metal album. The Grove follows her previous singles, "The Water Spirits" (2020) and "Melda" (2021).
Ember Belladonna states: "My goal with my music and with this album is to make the flute the lead within a genre it's not always heard in. To surprise people with the way this instrument can sound, and how it can fit into metal music in ways you don't expect. You will hear what sounds like more 'traditional' flute playing as well as a much edgier sound throughout the album In certain tracks I use a type of flute called the glissando flute paired with a guitar pedal to give it a completely new sound".
