About Me

Belle Gunness is an all-female midtempo-thrash metal band from the Netherlands. Belle Gunness is also the name of a female serial killer from Norway. She seduced men, slaughtered them and fed them to the pigs. So better not mess with Belle Gunness!

Belle Gunness consists of Anita (vocals, ex- Izegrim ), Petra (guitars, Soulreaver ), Martine (drums, Deleterious ) and Maaike (bass, Unbeliever). The band was founded in the end of 2004 by guitarists Petra and Marjolein. It took a long time to find the right drummer. After three girls who weren’t quite up to the job Martine decided to switch from playing bass to drums for this band in 2007 and Maaike was welcomed as the band’s new bassplayer. Guitarist and founding member Marjolein shortly thereafter decided to leave the band due to personal circumstances.

Belle Gunness quit December 2007. Maaike announced she was going to leave the band for personal reasons and the other members decided to call it quits alltogether. The concept of an all-female death metal band just doesn't seem realistic, judging all the line-up changes of this band. We'd like to thank you all for your support, stay fuckin' metal!
