Mount Depression

**Mount Depression** is a long-running Brazilian black metal act that's been conjuring raw, atmospheric sounds since 1995. Founded by the enigmatic Count Nekrasov (vocals/guitars), the band has carved a niche in the underground with their lo-fi production, haunting melodies, and themes steeped in nihilism and existential despair. Known for their prolific output and unapologetically grim aesthetic, they’ve released a slew of albums, splits, and live recordings over the decades, including recent works like *A Liar’s Masterpiece* (2023) and *Delight of the Senses* (2022), which showcase their signature blend of abrasive riffs and melancholic atmosphere.

While maintaining a fiercely DIY ethos, Mount Depression has evolved subtly over the years, experimenting with ambient textures and spoken-word elements without losing their foundational rawness. Tracks like *Bloodstained* and *Fullmoon Killer* highlight their knack for balancing aggression with eerie, immersive storytelling. Their live performances, captured on releases like *Live and Beyond…* and *The Life and the Knife Option: Live in Hatefest III*, amplify their reputation as a cult favorite in the global black metal scene. For fans of unpolished, emotionally charged extreme music, Mount Depression remains a relentless force in the shadows.
