The Static Murmur
Their third album, The Static Murmur was released in November 2008. It was again favorably reviewed by Mick Mercer, who described it as “beautifully produced… more than enough variety and endless layers of lyrical idiosyncrasies to ponder upon.”

an accomplished music producer, video director, composer, lyricist, multi-faceted musician, and a truly exceptional vocalist.
Opera trained singer graduated with honors at Conservatory San Pietro a Majella of Naples, Stella captivates with her own particular take on the genre, leading the listener into a haunted realm where, with powerful and evocative deep lyrics, she lays bare her soul in a psycho-drama of tragedy and melancholic sensuality.
She sings powerfully, yet with a hint of vulnerability, like a beautiful damned siren calling us to join her in her dark universe.
She has recently supported Auger at the West Coast Gothic in Blackpool and is working on a new album that will be released the next year.
