Oculi Melancholiarum

Oculi Melancholiarum is a one-person atmospheric, depressive, and post-black metal project formed in 2021 and based in Mexico. The music centers on themes of melancholy, nostalgia, and distress, delivering a blend of harsh and ambient black metal sounds underscored by dreamy, sometimes shoegaze-inspired textures. Recent releases such as *Euphorbia*, *Alud*, and *Three Crimson Tears* highlight the project’s prolific output, with each album available through digital platforms and select physical formats like cassettes.

While Oculi Melancholiarum is primarily the work of a single artist—referred to in some sources as "Nebeda," a female musician born in Mexico—the project occasionally features collaborators, especially for vocals. The music is distributed under the V.C.H. Music label, which grew out of a personal Bandcamp page dedicated to the artist’s own creative efforts and those of close associates. The project’s rapid release schedule and emotional depth make it a standout in the underground black metal and blackgaze scenes.
