Lost Inside – Cold Days is a journey through bleakness, written for no one, and meant to be experienced in total isolation. Hailing from the depressive black metal underground, this one-man project leans fully into the genre’s most emotionally barren tendencies — icy melodies, ghostlike vocals, and an atmosphere that just refuses to lift.

Released in 2010 through Solitude And Despair Music (South Korea), Cold Days feels like the product of a winter spent alone, buried in grief and distortion. The guitars are repetitive, cold, and distant — not hypnotic in a pretty way, but droning like wind through dead trees. The vocals are buried screams and tormented howls, as if someone was yelling from a nearby frozen forest but never made it out.

There are no blastbeats, no tech riffs, no theatrics — just slow-to-mid paced rhythms, raw production, and emotionally numb repetition. But if you know depressive black metal, you know that’s the point. It’s not supposed to be fun. It’s meant to drag you into a hole and make you sit there for a while.

Whether you’re deep into DSBM or just discovering the genre’s more emotionally stripped-down edge, Lost Inside belongs on the shelf with Austere, Nyktalgia, Silencer, and the rest of the miserable elite.
