Closterkeller

Formed in 1988, Warsaw-based Closterkeller is a key Polish gothic rock band. Led by charismatic vocalist and sole permanent member Anja Orthodox, the band has turned to the realms of cold wave, metal and pop rock over the course of more than three decades of activity; in the 1990s, they played at major Polish rock festivals like Jarocin and Odjazdy, as well as supported Cocteau Twins. Over that time they have released ten studio albums, named after increasingly esoteric colours – from their debut Purple (1990) to their latest Veridian (2017).
