Shadow Work by Obsidian One
Created by Serge Bourgouin in October 2024.
Created as part of my own shadow work, this debut EP merges the raw power of electro-industrial with the intensity of black and death metal, at times beginning in the shadowy depths of dark ambient before surging into heavier, more aggressive territory. It is dedicated to the adult survivor of childhood abuse, neglect, and trauma.
The cover artwork is The Fallen Angel by French painter Alexandre Cabanel.

Dark, intense, atmospheric electro-industrial music influenced by black/death metal, with noise, ambient, and synth.
Black Moon is the core of Obsidian One — a continuation of the black metal–inspired Dark Sun EP (rhythmic noise compilation of tracks from IV, VI, VII and VIII).
School of Earth and Avatar are lighter, more ambient and electronic.
Firestarter, my latest LP, is death synth.
