Seraina Telli was the original vocalist of Burning Witches, and she is the current vocalist for Dead Venus, as well as a solo artist. The Swiss singer shocked the metal world when she exited Burning Witches in 2019 to pursue some personal goals. She talks a bit about leaving and the resulting solo music that has come to fruition.
This interview was conducted just before the release of a new single called “I’m Not Sorry”, and Seraina tells us about a few of the songs on the new solo record, Simple Talk. She also talks about her love of the Marvel universe, her artwork, and how she’s overcoming her fear of spiders!
Simple Talk comes out on October 21st on Metalville Records.

Hello everyone! My name is Scott Itter, but some know me as Dr. Music. I am a music journalist and photographer out of the Chicagoland area, and I have been in practice for over 20 years. I grew up in the 70’s with two big brothers that showed me all kinds of rock and roll. As I grew older I ventured out into different genres like jazz, funk, folk, and whatever else I could wrap my ears around. As I read every liner note and every Circus and Hit Parader like they were the Old and New Testament, I came to realize that I just love sound and appreciate all the people that create it.
I later became a stay-at-home dad and started honing my writing and photography skills to keep my mind from turning into mashed peas. My kids are now adults, my mind is only slightly mushy, and I am thrilled to have the honor of presenting my work to you!
