Cestra bravely faces the darkness. Cestra’s daring new record, Portal, is a collision of dissonant industrial sounds and epic choral-orchestral settings that provide a platform for her exceptional vocal prowess. Cestra (Kat Marsh) also discusses how arranging and directing a choir for a special concert with Bring Me the Horizon at Royal Albert Hall not only developed her songwriting and sound, but gave rise to her ensemble, Choir Noir, which has earned a loyal following on YouTube. During the episode, we hear three tracks from Portal including “Monument,” “Twin Heart Beat,” and “Aeon.” Follow Cestra @cestratheportal Presented in partnership with Music Connection www.musicconnection.com
