The irrepressible, prolific Damián Antón Ojeda joins up with new mysterious project Jymeria for a split of majestically mournful, emotively shimmering atmospheric post black metal. Two long-form tracks each, at 20 minutes a side make for an immersive listen that wastes no time reaching heady plateaus of swirling synths, stratospheric riffs and a sense of everlasting melancholic yearning. The two Sadness tracks do not disappoint at all, and will be familiar territory to existing fans, while the fully instrumental Jymeria side adds a little more tumultuous noise and churning hypnotics to the second half that are a satisfying, searingly earthy foil, with crackling distortion filling the vocal space, complementing Damian’s piercing shrieks of the first half. Pick it up for one US dollar from either Sadness or Jymieriah bandcamp pages: Band: Sadness / Jymeria Split:
