Sortsind

The Profile

Danish black metal band described as early pioneers of Depressive Black Metal (DSBM). Active for a short period and noted for the 1999 album Sår; bassist/keyboardist Smerte died by suicide in 1999 and More Days was released posthumously.

The DeBaser review praises Sortsind's uncompromising depressive black metal on Sår, noting its oppressive atmosphere, lo-fi intensity and alternation of violent outbursts with piano/ambient interludes. The band is described as a challenging, unsettling project and an early DSBM pioneer. The review references the band's breakup following the 1999 suicide of bassist/keyboardist Smerte and the posthumous release More Days.
