REVIEW

A split release featuring Sadness, the depressive black metal / blackgaze project led by US-based Damian Anton Ojeda, alongside Columbus, Ohio progressive black metal band Vulning.

While much of the material leans into Sadness’ signature style, the track “Cry Enough” stands out as an unexpected turn toward a distinctly American-style modern heavy shoegaze sound. Driven by Ojeda’s trademark anguished melodies and the sharp contrast between screamed and clean vocals, it emerges as one of the most emotionally devastating and tear-inducing tracks in the Sadness catalog. Let the tears flow, headbang with abandon, and fully immerse yourself in its overwhelming sorrow.
