Solo artist EMBER BELLADONNA has unveiled another video, the title track from her critically acclaimed album The Grove.
The video is steeped in the fantasy themes that the flutist is known for and will heavily appeal to fans of films such as Lord of the Rings.
The artist comments “”The Grove”is an interlude, but the music is reflective of the magic that is held in this mystical place The Grove is a place where creatures pass through different realms, including the faeries who will lure travelers. A lot of folklore about faeries reminds us that they are tricksters at heart, and falling for their tricks or eating food they offer could have unintended consequences.”

About EMBER BELLADONNA:
Based out of Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, BELLADONNA began playing the flute at the age of 9 and not long 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. BELLADONNA’s musical inspiration comes from a wide array of epic film and video game scores, heavy metal music and other flutists. 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 features on ADON’s upcoming black metal album. The Grove follows BELLADONNA’s previous singles “The Water Spirits” (2020) and “Melda” (2021).
“My goal with my music and with this album” Explains BELLADONNA, “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.”
