Hailing out of Perth, The Effigy seamlessly weaves elements of gothic rock, symphonic metal, and cinematic storytelling, making music that defies traditional genre boundaries. Led by Effy Gold, this dynamic solo project has been making waves with a series of haunting and emotionally charged singles. Drawing influences from the likes of Garbage, Evanescence, and Keane, The Effigy's music is a mesmerizing blend of dark, gothic themes, and eclectic styles. Metal Planet Music: "Proving that Scandinavia and America don’t have the monopoly on glacial Gothic rock, Perth resident The Effigy shows that whilst Australia might be the land of sunshine, there’s a darkness that dwells at the deepest part of their soul. [...] The Effigy have captured lightning in a bottle, their gloriously dark adventures a thing of breathless beauty that makes it impossible to resist." Metal Hammer: "Falling somewhere between the gothic metal of Paradise Lost or Evanescence and the symphonic grandeur of Nightwish or Delain, The Effigy’s second single Cindersun doesn’t fall neatly into any one camp, preferring to flit between styles. An epic and beautiful track from a fascinating new artist." Femmetal Magazine: "The Effigy released one single after another which left me amazed. If you love Gothic or Symphonic Metal, you will surely love The Effigy. With her talent and incredible voice, I believe she will be one of the big names in the Gothic Metal scene in the coming years."
