Eight Bells is an American experimental metal band based in Portland, Oregon. It was formed by guitarist Melynda Jackson after SubArachnoid Space disbanded in 2011.[3][4] She was joined by bassist Haley Westeiner and SubArachnoid Space drummer Christopher Van Huffel. They describe their music as expressionistic experimental metal.[5] Their debut album, The Captain's Daughter, was released 19 February 2013 by Seventh Rule Recordings.[6][7][8] The band toured in April 2013 to promote the album.[9][10][11] Their follow-up, Landless, was released on February 12, 2016. They toured with Voivod and Vektor in the Northeastern United States in support of the album. In August, Jackson announced a new lineup with the additions of Dan Barone (bass) and Melynda Amann (vocals/synth), with the removal of Westeiner (former bassist/vocalist).[12]
