Gudsforladt is an American black metal project led by DM, distinguished by its expansive blend of atmospheric black metal with elements of post‑hardcore and dark folk, delivering intensely emotional and adventurous compositions. Their most recent album, Friendship, Love and War, was released via Wolves of Hades, showcasing a dynamic mix of driving riffs, melodic interludes, and richly atmospheric storytelling. The release has been praised for breaking genre boundaries with “galloping riffs… not trying to be a regular black metal album” and offering a uniquely progressive listening experience.
