Sadness - Circle of Veins

Sadness takes a unique approach to black metal by infusing it with an unexpected celestial brightness, a significant departure from the genre's typical associations with cold, grim, and savage atmospheres. As you point out, black metal traditionally explores the nuances of darkness, drawing from themes of night and frost, even when more melodic or atmospheric elements are present. Yet Sadness, with its ethereal keyboard-driven sound and layers of reverb, creates a heavenly, almost otherworldly version of black metal--an approach that feels audacious within such a grim genre.
