Description
Continuing to carve their names into the vanguard of music, Sadness and Magogaio deliver a stunning release through Flowing Downward Records.
Magogaio, a project from the UK recognised for its unique approach to blackgaze, brings a distinctly unique atmosphere to the split. Their music refracts the rawness of black metal through a lens of urban melancholia, and effective use of electronic elements weaves a dreamlike quality into the fabric of their sound.
With nearly an hour of playtime, this split album is filled with moments long after the final notes fade. Magogaio’s sonic walls are rich and enveloping, while Sadness crafts vast, melancholic landscapes that feel intimate and boundless, embodying nostalgia and modernity.
This is exactly the kind of release one hopes to hear in 2025—alive, industrial, and reflective of the times. Witnessing how black metal has evolved and how artists who draw from its foundations can blend it effortlessly is inspiring. 6 PANEL DIGI
