PRE-ORDER LAUNCH: LISTLESS - selftitled
March 8, 2025We are launching pre-orders for the debut album from LISTLESS, a new depressive black metal from the haunted shores of the Canadian west coast.
The opening track from the album, entitled "Devoid" has also been premiered through No Clean Singing:

"“Devoid” is like a gradually expanding spell of sorrow, leading the listener deeper and deeper into its dark grasp until there’s no escaping the torment it has revealed. It’s a beautifully crafted and even elegant spell, whose varying and recurring melodies feed themselves like tendrils into a listener’s head and heart, but it also packs a viscerally head-moving punch before it’s done."
Listless aims to capture an isolated sense of solitude through melancholic introspection. Emotionally resonant guitars, desperate howls, and sorrowful keys aim to hypnotize listeners into a dark, endless oblivion.
The project comes from the mind of Aidan Crossley, the guitarist and vocalist of Victoria-based Atmospheric Black Metal band: Liminal Shroud. Aidan's past musical work includes roles in projects such as Numenorean, Vaaltovashe, and others. This project channels the songwriting, intensity, and surging expansiveness of Liminal Shroud while focusing more on emotive aspects of musical expression.
Listless is inspired by genre-defining depressive acts such as Austere, Woods of Desolation, Coldworld, None, and Gris. The composition also implements depressive rock elements from bands like Lifelover and Psychonaut 4.
CD's, Shirts, and a merch bundle are available to pre-order, as well as the digital album.
Album release is set for April 25, 2025
