Want of Sin
About
Want of Sin is a Milwaukee-based post-black metal outfit formed in 2019 by vocalist Bliss Rios (also known as Bliss Bathory) and guitarist Mark Curda. The band blends the harsh, mournful shrieks of black metal with melodic post-rock and shoegaze textures. After debuting with the EP 'Echoes of Resentment' in 2020, they refined their lineup and sound, evolving into a six-piece ensemble featuring dual guitars and keyboards. Their debut full-length album, 'Hydrophobic', was released in early 2025 to local critical acclaim, noted for its professional production and thematic focus on existential dread and the corruption of faith. The band is well-regarded in the Wisconsin underground scene for their intense, 'religious' live performances.
