Djunah

Djunah is the Chicago-based noise-rock project of singer-guitarist Donna Diane. Known for a massive, intense live sound, the project 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.

Her newest release, Giallo, is a noise-rock opera about complex trauma, inspired by Italian horror soundtracks. Djunah's second album, "Femina Furens," was named one of the best metal records of 2023 by Bandcamp Daily.
