Cairiss

About Cairiss

Cairiss is a female-fronted, five-piece atmospheric black metal band from Southampton, UK, formed in 2013. They are known for their unique sound that blends clean vocals and black-metal inspired harsh vocals with crushing guitars, powerful orchestral harmonies, and choral arrangements, creating music rich in beauty and depth. Their style, often described as blackgaze or post-metal, has been influenced by bands such as Opeth and Alcest, incorporating melodic yet sorrowful timbres reminiscent of the Cascadian atmospheric black metal scene, with elements of Gothic metal or doom. Their discography includes the demo track "Disgraced," released in February 2014, and their debut EP, "Fall," which consists of three tracks and was released in June 2016. While their official website indicates copyright protection extending to 2026, there is no recent news or public endeavors reported beyond their 2016 EP release.
