Circle of Veins

Damián Antón Ojeda's highly prolific solo project masterfully balances the despair of depressive suicidal black metal with soaring, triumphant shoegaze melodies. The record relies on massive walls of distorted guitar and agonized vocal shrieks, periodically breaking into surprisingly serene ambient and electronic interludes. It is a profoundly emotional, cathartic release that garnered massive internet acclaim.
