"Now I travel upstream
Against the tide of entropy
I choose my destiny"

With this statement from the debut album The Dark Night of the Soul, multi-instrumentalist and founder Dacian the Wanderer screams out to the world from his restless inner world, channeling personal struggles and revelations into his music. The Dark Night of the Soul paints a desolate, solitary wintry world, where ancient fortresses stand as symbols of resilience, while crumbling ruins echo the death of past selves. Dacian takes you along on an introspective journey through this rugged landscape as he narrates his own personal battles, inviting listeners to confront their inner demons and emerge stronger on the other side.

Stylistically, Bleak Sanctuary defies categorization, dwelling in the realms of black metal, gothic metal, and melodic death metal, while forging an unconventional path with grooves and percussive rhythms that challenge genre norms. Amidst the sound of distorted guitars and drums, a mesmerizing esoteric ensemble of instruments introduces an otherworldly spell that paints a dark, mystical landscape. Dacian's visceral screams and guttural growls, steeped in raw emotion, become a conduit for pain, forging an ethereal connection that allows the listener to feel his struggle.

Born in Brazil, raised in the United States, and now finding creative refuge in Germany, Dacian’s music transcends continents. While conceived and partially produced in his hometown outside New York City, the completion of the album and the first live performances took place in southern Germany. As the album unfolds, a glimpse into Dacian's transformative journey becomes apparent - a journey from vulnerability to strength, from weakness to newfound resilience. The yearning for travel, for renewal, is palpable, echoing the transformative process of self-discovery in a distant land. The Dark Night of the Soul today stands as a testament to Dacian's adventurous spirit, a living auditory travel diary that encapsulates the essence of his profound wanderlust.

In 2022, within the picturesque city of Passau, Germany, Dacian's musical odyssey took an unexpected turn when he joined forces with Leo the Restless, Vigný the Protector and Velrin the Hermit. In the subsequent year, 2023, Dacian propelled the project forward with the release of two singles, marking the band’s live debut with concerts held in various cities across Bavaria and Upper Austria.
