DARKHER will be playing a full band performance at Daltons in Brighton, England. With Guest Support from Vvaif + Artemisia Nathair


Haunting Atmospheric-Doom woven with ethereal vocals and cinematic stillness. A
spellbinding sound born from storm and sorrow.


DARKHER is the haunting embodiment of composer, vocalist, and multi-instrumentalist
Jayn Maiven. Emerging from the brooding hills of West Yorkshire, her music is a chilling
fusion of ghostly folk, heavy, doom-laden soundscapes, and ethereal atmospheres.
Known for her spine-tingling voice, Maiven weaves eerie, cinematic worlds where sorrow
and shadow move together. Her songs shimmer with spectral beauty, swelling from
whispered laments to thunderous intensity that stir the soul , often described as both
devastating and transcendent.

Live, DARKHER conjures an otherworldly ritual: candlelit stages, immersive stillness,
and the unsettling power of something ancient stirring just beneath the surface. It is music
that leaves an echo - heavy, intimate, and unshakeably alive.

"The Buried Storm is a fitting album title with heavy poetic lyrics and instrumentation to
match... Maiven's voice is akin to a siren song; otherworldly and alluring while also conjuring
feelings of doom and anguish."
- Nine Circles

"There's a far more menacing and brooding vein that runs through the music. 'Darkly
cinematic”- Man of Much Metal

"Led by multi-instrumentalist Jayn Maiven, the album at times bears a resemblance to Neurosis
or Triptykon at their most quiet and reflective... it's soothing music for people who like it
dark." - Ghost Cult Magazine

“Its a spacious, gloomy, flickering doom album of mood and memory…a haunting and visionary
experience” - The Prog Mind

"The voice of despair gently wafts through the air. Delicate pain wrapped in radiant beauty
pierces the heart slowly yet without hesitation."
