Want of Sin Unleashes Post-Black Metal Masterpiece Hydrophobic

Rising from the frigid depths of Wisconsin and the industrial heart of Germany, post-black metal force Want of Sin unveiled their new release, Hydrophobic , on February 7, 2025 . Combining the bleak intensity of black metal with the ethereal elements of shoegaze, Want of Sin crafts an atmosphere both immersive and unrelenting.

Formed in 2019, the six-piece collective has drawn influence from the likes of Cradle of Filth, Ghost Bath, and Der Weg einer Freiheit , forging a sound that is as unholy as it is haunting. Hydrophobic delves into themes of existential dread, the corruption of faith, and the suffocating weight of water as a metaphor for inescapable sin.

With its intricate layers of melancholic tremolo riffs, visceral shrieks, and soaring, atmospheric compositions, Hydrophobic is a sermon for the damned—spreading Want of Sin ’s gospel to all future sinners.

Prepare to drown in the abyss.
