OUT NOW
WESTENRA's second studio album 'BURN ME ONCE' was officially released everywhere online on Bonfire Night - 5th November 2025.
You can also order the official CD and digital download now on Bandcamp.
BURN ME ONCE is full of stadium-sized goth anthems that address contemporary issues such as the perils of social media and dangers of artificial intelligence. As well as exploring the emotional rollercoaster of love, regret, grief and the burning of bridges.
Once again, WESTENRA rise like a phoenix from the ashes.
You may burn me once...you won't burn me...
ALBUM REVIEWS
"A meticulously crafted piece of dramatic art, where every emotion genuinely feels real, so each song has been lived and we are here to inhabit the space. It’s big and bold without melodrama, it’s gothic without being pretentious, and it’s pure rock without the cliches. You won’t annoy your neighbours with this one, they’ll be asking who it is…"
Stephen Kennedy, The Velvet Sheep, UK
"Westenra sure know how to slide between modes and moods: Burn Me Once is epic in every sense. It’s an album which radiates immense power, and there isn’t a weak track here...
And as much as they’re a goth band, Burn Me Once is an album that sees [Westenra] pushing out in all directions far beyond genre limitations. Ultimately, Burn Me Once is a high-energy rock album with dark undercurrents which course relentlessly, and the quality of the song writing is outstanding."
Christopher Nosnibor, Aural Aggravation, UK
