These slower parts, however, reveal a dazzlingly beautiful maelstrom of aural excitement, showcasing that there is more to Sven Neawolf’s sound than the explosive bombast that first grabs your attention.

“Leid in DnB” maintains the signature Sven Neawolf elements, making each of his tracks both mind-bending and emotion inducing.
