Closterkeller

Closterkeller is a legendary Polish gothic rock band that’s been crafting moody, atmospheric tunes since forming in Warsaw in the late 1980s. Fronted by the charismatic Anja Orthodox, whose haunting vocals and poetic lyrics define their sound, the group became a cornerstone of Poland’s alternative scene. Over the decades, they’ve blended darkwave, ethereal melodies, and introspective themes across albums like *Violet* and *Scarlet*, earning a cult following for their brooding yet melodic style.

Still active today, Closterkeller continues to evolve—recent releases like *Viridian* and *reScarlet* showcase their knack for reinvention, while 2024’s remastered English version of *Graphite* highlights their ambition to connect with international audiences. Known for dramatic live performances and a fiercely loyal fanbase, they remain one of Eastern Europe’s most enduring gothic acts, proving that melancholic music can still feel powerfully alive.
