Witch of the Vale are Erin and Ryan, an unsettling electronic duo from the serene shores of Loch Lomond and the remote Outer Hebridean Isles. In December 2020, Witch of the Vale released their debut album Commemorate with Cleopatra Records, available to stream and on CD and vinyl. They have also since been featured in the official movie soundtracks for Baphomet and Scavenger.
 
Erin and Ryan began creating music together after identifying a shared love of a particular style of dark, melodic music which they felt was missing from the current scene. Having taught themselves how to record, mix and engineer their own unique sound, the first song they wrote together Trust the Pain would go on to be ranked one of the top electronic tracks of 2019 by The Electricity Club and amodelofcontrol and remixed by Leæther Strip.
Their debut album released in December 2021 to critical acclaim, went on to reach number 1 both the gothic and the industrial music charts on BandCamp.
 
Witch of the Vale have become well established in the UK goth industrial scene and made their debut festival appearance in August 2019 at Infest UK receiving the response from the organisers - "Thank you for an absolutely stunning show at Infest - still a little overwhelmed by your performance - breathtaking." - Infest Mark
After a lull during lockdown, there are now more festivals on the horizon and a full UK tour spanning 10 dates with The Birthday Massacre in November.
 
Witch of the Vale are best identified by their haunting vocal style coupled with harmonic synths. These in turn are starkly contrasted by deep drones and abrasive drums. With Erin's sincere, melancholic lyrics, their sound is at once ethereal and devastating. Live, their performance has been described as compelling and tortured. Their sound easily compliments more energetic artists, providing a tempo break in line-ups to deliver an atmospheric and deeply emotional experience.
 
The duo made their first live appearance mid 2018 when invited by Flag Promotions to support darkwave legends Clan of Xymox on their one-off UK show in Glasgow. Since then, Witch of the Vale have played frequently in the UK scene and made several appearances in London's iconic venue Electrowerkz, supporting acts such as Assemblage 23, Solar Fake, Leaether Strip, Ash Code. Massive Ego, and Linea Aspera. After the critical acclaim of their first album Commemorate , Witch of the Vale have recently followed up with a new single, Love of a Father in advance of a second album, due towards the end of 2023.
