I wrote a book of poetry. 🕊️ “With The Bella Vista, Emma Ruth Rundle turns to language as the best and perhaps only tool suitable to express, in her words, “the tenderness and brutality of romantic love.” Rundle tells, “Written on the road over the course of a year, ‘The Bella Vista’ is equal parts travel-log, love story and journal of dark existential reflection. It is what I have spent the last two years of my creative life working on and I am both relieved and excited to finally be sharing it.” The Bella Vista will be published by Unnamed Press and available at bookstores and online on February 11, 2025 - pre-order here. To coincide with the book, Rundle will release a limited edition audio album consisting of minimalistic, contemplative piano sketches alla Harold Budd of whom the book was named in honor of, and was highly influential to The Bella Vista. Copies will be limited to 300 and available in a signed first edition hardcover + exclusive vinyl bundle here. Rundle is on tour this Fall crossing both coasts and more.

Some Heavy Demos is up for Bandcamp Friday.
New album is coming in 2026. This is not the artwork, but some moments during writing, wheels that caught my eye and scenes from a winter garden.
Weeks later, we’re still a-googoo over the numinous performance of @emmaruthrundle which closed CTM 2026. Stripped-down to the bare essentials of guitar, voice and a short interlude of piano, she led us trustingly through a selection of unheard material from her forthcoming album peppered with older favorites (‘Darkhorse,’ oh 𝘺𝘦𝘴 please) and you better 𝘣𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘦 there wasn’t a dry eye amongst us. A perfectly mythic end to the festival, shoutout to the miniature Lake Cocytus everyone had to cross to get to @volksbuehne_berlin 💙❄️ Photos: @camille_blake
I am happy to announce that I will be playing @cascadianmidsummer this year 🌞
Draconian llega por primera vez a Argentina! La banda sueca de gothic/doom se estará presentando el domingo 17 de mayo en Teatro Flores (Avenida Rivadavia 7806, CABA), para interpretar todos sus clásicos y temas de su nuevo álbum, contarán como invitada especial nada menos que con Emma Ruth Rundle que desplegará todo su dark folk único y emotivo. La banda local invitada es Inazulina. Entradas por Sistema PassLine: https://www.passline.com/eventos/draconian-emma-ruth-rundle-17-de-mayo-2026 Draconian regresa a América Latina en 2026 con nueva formación, el regreso de la vocalista original Lisa Johansson y nuevo álbum. La formación actual de Draconian reúne a la vocalista original Lisa Johansson, quien regresó oficialmente al grupo en 2023, junto a Anders Jacobsson, Johan Ericson, Daniel Arvidsson, Niklas Nord y el nuevo baterista, Daniel Johansson. El regreso de Lisa marca una reconexión con la fase clásica de Draconian, algo que muchos fans esperaban y que impactará positivamente en la producción del nuevo álbum. Draconian es una de las bandas más activas e importantes del gothic/doom metal mundial. Su discografía destaca canciones con tempos lentos, climas densos y melancólicos, guitarras pesadas en capas y el uso de voces contrastantes (guturales masculinos junto a voz femenina limpia), además de temáticas centradas en pérdida, introspección, espiritualidad y existencia. La banda rara vez se apoya en virtuosismos o estructuras complejas. Su enfoque está en la construcción de atmósferas, presente desde el debut Arcane Rain Fell hasta trabajos más recientes como Under a Godless Veil (2020), Sovran (2015) y A Rose for the Apocalypse (2011). Under a Godless Veil (2020) es un álbum marcado por composiciones más atmosféricas e intimistas, con foco en melodías amplias y ambientaciones minimalistas. Sovran (2015), el primero con la exvocalista Heike Langhans, presenta una sonoridad más expansiva, manteniendo la estructura tradicional de dualidad vocal del grupo. A Rose for the Apocalypse (2011) sintetiza la fase clásica con Lisa Johansson, con énfasis en el contraste vocal y en la aproximación tradicional del doom/gothic metal de la banda
A restless spirit at the edges of doom-folk and ambient existentialism, @emmaruthrundle is ever drawn into shadow and myth. Since the stark emotional exposure of her album Engine of Hell, her work has moved even further inward, embracing restraint and negative space as active forces. Piano, guitar and voice are central tools, silence charged to carry as much weight as melody. Her music now unfolds as emotional architecture, slow-burn structures honed by the sharp winds of grief and memory. For CTM 2026, she’ll be presenting a brand new performance at @volksbuehne_berlin 👑 Video edit: @vojdvojd
Bandcamp Friday. A great day to support artists you like to listen to 💙🫶🏻
