Sunken is a Danish atmospheric black metal band known for evocative soundscapes that conjure images of nature and contemplation within the realms of extreme music. The band's inception dates back to the mid-2010s when they began to solidify their presence in the metal underground with a sound characterized by ambient elements, intense melodic structures, and lyrical themes focused on existential dread, melancholy, and the human condition.

Over the years, Sunken has established a consistent discography marked by the depth and maturity of their compositions. Their recent releases such as "Livslede" and "Ensomhed" showcase the band's fascination with life's weariness and solitude through haunting melodies and immersive atmospheres, cementing their position within the niche of atmospheric black metal. "Departure," which remains true to the band's core ethos, explores the thematic departure from various states of being, both physical and emotional. Meanwhile, "The Crackling of Embers" continues to expand their musical narrative, painting aural pictures of the ephemeral and the eternal, as delicate sonic textures meet the ferocity of black metal. With these compositions, Sunken invites listeners into a world of reflection, sorrow, and the beauty found within the darkness, securing their place as torchbearers in the evolution of the genre.
