Spell of Enchantress aims to revive the 90’s Gothic Doom genre, with its own signature blend of harsh death metal male growls and angelic female operatic soprano vocals. With lyrics about loss, grief, and redemption, delivered in both English and French, they proudly draw inspiration from legendary bands such as Tristania, Theatre of Tragedy, Draconian, and Cradle of Filth.

“Beyond the Shadows” is a powerful and evocative journey through grief and despair, encapsulating the crushing feeling of desperate longing for salvation in a world that has already turned its back. The song’s lyrics depict a moment of ultimate vulnerability—an individual cries out, hoping someone can save them in their darkest hour, only to realize that it’s far too late.

Beyond The Shadows

Myrtle is the new solo project of French composer Cathy Isot, who has spent the last two decades mastering the art of electronic music production. Best known for her role as an operatic soprano in gothic metal bands In Spite of Thunder and Spell of Enchantress, and as the creator of haunting acoustic piano ballads, Cathy now explores the bold, uncharted territory of hardcore electronic music under the moniker of Myrtle.
With "Glitter Rain," Cathy breaks away from the classical and acoustic worlds she has long dominated, presenting a fierce, dark, and uncompromisingly energetic side of herself. The project embraces a high-octane blend of heavy bass lines, intense percussion, and synth-driven atmospheres that are at once chaotic and controlled—a nod to the darker side of EDM with a unique gothic twist.
About the Single: "Glitter Rain"
Glitter Rain is the debut single from Myrtle, a track that captures the essence of electronic music's power and intensity. The song combines the pounding rhythms and bass-heavy elements of hardcore EDM with a dark, atmospheric edge that reflects Cathy's gothic sensibilities.
The instrumental piece is a relentless journey through layers of distorted bass, sharp drum patterns, and synth melodies that seem to rain down like glitter—a beautiful but dangerous force. The track’s upbeat tempo and driving energy make it a perfect introduction to Myrtle’s sound, delivering a mix of raw intensity and melodic depth. It’s a track that doesn’t just fill the room, it takes over it, forcing listeners to move and feel.
The Sound:
Dark Bass & Heavy Drums: The foundation of Glitter Rain lies in its heavy, industrial bass lines and thunderous drumbeats, creating a sense of urgency and intensity throughout the track. These elements push the energy forward, propelling the listener into a state of constant motion.
Up-tempo Beat: With an energetic and fast-paced tempo, the track creates a sense of exhilaration, perfect for a high-energy, dance-floor experience.
Synths & Atmosphere: Synthesizers soar and cut through the mix, creating a dazzling contrast between the aggressive bass and the shimmering, almost ethereal melodies that add complexity to the track’s dark edge.
Gothic Influence: While firmly rooted in EDM, Glitter Rain retains Cathy’s signature gothic undertones, evidenced in the brooding atmosphere and dramatic shifts in mood. This unique blend of industrial power and gothic depth makes Myrtle stand out in the electronic music world.
