Dessiderium

Dessiderium is a musical project primarily led by Alex Haddad, who has been involved in various other bands such as Arkaik and Nullingroots. Dessiderium began as a personal musical outlet for Haddad, allowing him to express himself freely without the constraints of a band format. The project has evolved over the years, showcasing a blend of blackened and progressive death metal, with notable releases like *Aria* and more recently, *Keys to the Palace*. Haddad's approach to Dessiderium is characterized by a childlike creativity and a lack of formal structure, often driven by spontaneous ideas that emerge during late-night writing sessions.

Dessiderium's music has garnered attention for its innovative and expansive compositions, reflecting Haddad's diverse influences and experiences. The project has transitioned from earlier, more straightforward metal sounds to a more orchestral and holistic approach, evident in recent releases. Despite being a solo endeavor, Dessiderium has occasionally featured additional musicians for live performances or specific recordings. The project remains a deeply personal and expressive outlet for Haddad, showcasing his growth as a musician and composer over the years.
