In a world where everyone knows everything, Dragged Into Sunlight evoke intrigue and mystery.Since 2006, Dragged Into Sunlight have built a reputation for their dark, atmospheric, and often disturbing sound, combining heavy, pulverising riffs with raw, abrasive vocals and intricate arrangements. The collective explore themes of violence, despair, and the macabre, blending the extremity of black metal’s dissonance with the weighty,oppressive spirit of doom. Their compositions are best characterised by a relentless,chaotic atmosphere, often eschewing traditional death metal song structures in favour of long, immersive tracks that defy genre standards.Dragged Into Sunlight’s sonic warfare is accompanied by an equally obscure and mystifying live performance, delivering striking, minimalist visual aesthetics in the cover of darkness. The band’s enigmatic and ritualistic approach to their stage presence further enhances their dynamic sound.

Mizmor
Mizmor is a one-person heavy music project that started in 2012 as a way to express the mental and spiritual anguish of A.L.N., the project’s creator. The project is a fusion of black metal and doom metal that explores existential themes such as purpose, cause, self, and god. The content comes from a broken, confused, and embittered heart, and is a fight for survival when reason and foundation have crumbled. A.L.N. began writing Mizmor while losing his faith in Christianity, which had been a paradigm shift that left him feeling ruined. For example, the song “Inertia, an Ill Compeller” from 2016 was written during a time when A.L.N. felt ideologically ambiguous and was questioning whether being alive was enough.
