Djunah

Djunah is the Chicago-based noise-rock band of singer-guitarist Donna Diane. Known for a massive, intense live sound, the project – now a one-woman band – is fueled as much by big emotions as it is by love of gear.

Diane, who has been featured on Premiere Guitar's Rig Rundown, is a self-described gearhead and multi-instrumentalist who blends guitar and analog synthesizers to create her unique sound.

Djunah’s second album, "Femina Furens," was named one of the best metal records of 2023 by Bandcamp Daily. The record fuses influences from formal poetry and heavy music to tell the story of diagnosis and continuing recovery from complex post-traumatic stress disorder, or C-PTSD.
