One of the most recognizable voices in all of folk metal, Swiss singer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Anna Murphy started her career at the tender age of 16, when she began providing hurdy-gurdy and clean vocals for folk metal luminaries Eluveitie. Though she was not the principal vocalist in the band that made her famous (they predominantly used the harsh vocals of bandleader Chriegel Glanzmann), her performances on their softer material made her something of a breakout star, and over her time in the band she featured vocally in a wide variety of guest appearances and side projects. After leaving during Eluveitie's 2016 lineup split, she formed the prog/folk metal trio Cellar Darling, which remains her current main focus.
Vocally, Anna falls comfortably in the mezzo-soprano area, with a centrally placed voice that is just as comfortable with lows as it is with highs. Her highs are a mixture of distinctively brassy-sounding belts and a soft "faux-soprano" head voice, and this, combined with her taste for unusual vocal melodies, has led to numerous comparisons to Anneke van Giersbergen's work with The Gathering. So far as lows go, she easily can carry a great deal of weight well into the third octave, only sounding strained around the D3 area. Still, on the whole, she tends to stick to her comfort zone, preferring to match the song to the performance rather than show off range-wise.
