Welcome to the Official Alunah Website
|
West Midlands based Alunah are not part of any scene; instead they carve their own path merging elements of doom, psych and classic heavy rock with earthy hypnotic vocal melodies.
Their third album "Awakening The Forest" is out now on Napalm Records, and follows "Call of Avernus" (2010) and the critically acclaimed "White Hoarhound" (2012). 2015 will see "Call of Avernus" and "White Hoarhound" being re-released on CD via PRC Music, and "Call of Avernus" being given a vinyl release via HeviSike Records. Alunah consist of Soph Day (vocals and guitar), Dave Day (guitar), Dan Burchmore (bass), Jake Mason (drums), and have spent the last 8 years building up a reputation for being one of the most hardworking and consistent live bands. They have played European dates with international artists such as Saint Vitus, Trouble, Paradise Lost, High on Fire, Fu Manchu, The Sword; and prestigious festivals such as DesertFest (Germany and England), Heavy Days in Doom Town (Denmark), Up in Smoke (Switzerland) and Hard Rock Hell (Wales).

Midlands Rocks
There was a genuine moment of surprise for Alunah regulars when the band threw in an 80s cover from The Cure. ‘A Forest’ was always one of the goth legends’ finest tunes and it was certainly done justice by Alunah who put their own spin on it. Robert Smith would surely have approved! Read More >> Maximum Volume Reviews There is a real feeling, watching Alunah tonight, that the four piece know their time is now and they are going to do everything to make it happen. Read More >> La Grosse Radio Forty minutes are allocated to the group, and the least we can say is that it is hard to see them go! An intoxicating benefit, again soon. Read More >> The Sludgelord Their sound really is tailor made for our readership, and I can say with full confidence that their live sound and performance is just as stunning. Read More >> Midlands Rocks "The band hammered out their down-tuned melodic and dragging doom/psych/classic rock with all the fervour of a headliner at Bloodstock" Read More >> Gothestro Radio These guys will be playing 'White Hoarhound' to the arena crowds they deserve soon enough" Read More >> MetalMouth.Net "Playing through a mixture of old songs and new the band set free their riffs like some musical game of hot potato. Off they fly, it’s the vocals of Soph Day that make this band so exciting to me, whilst coming across as naturally classic they also have an air of freshness to them that many psych bands could do with taking note of" Read More >> Zero Tolerance Magazine "I'm immediately stopped in my tracks by the epic soulful sound of Alunah in full flight. The perfectly ponderous riffs roll out from the stage in waves while wonderful wailing leads circle overhead and hammering drum beats sit behind like portentous thunder clouds" Read more >> The Metal Observer, Canada "Now I’m no expert on female-fronted Metal bands, so I can’t say this decisively. But as of right now, I consider Soph Day to be the best female vocalist in Metal, and it will likely stay that way until I find someone better. I’m not holding my breath" Read more >> Metal Hammer, Germany "Straightforward Black Sabbath worship with equally straightforward songs and fine emotional moments, a timeless piece" Read more >> |
