Sadness - I Want To Be There

Sadness's I Want to Be There establishes its own identity within the blackgaze genre, with a sound that veers away from raw black metal intensity, opting instead for expansive, dreamy atmospheres. Damian Anton Ojeda's signature approach tempers the harshness of black metal's usual bleakness with a delicate sense of beauty and melancholy. The album builds around shimmering guitars and lush soundscapes, creating a sense of longing rather than the frostbitten aggression typically associated with the genre.
