Sadness
Damián Antón-Ojeda (born July 31, 1997) is a Mexican-American singer and multi-instrumentalist based in Baltimore, Maryland. He has performed under thirty seven projects, the most known being black metal-adjacent Sadness, Trhä, a mainly raw black metal project, and Life, which is described as a fusion of screamo, post hardcore and atmospheric black metal.
Ojeda often writes in his own conlangs, such as HaΩaj, Jeuth Ryãvûln, Kada£, Thëhht Dehël'hjän, and Luclürh which he describes as 'deeply rooted in his own person and emotions' and primarily uses for Trhä.
Ojeda began experimenting with music at the age of eleven, in 2008, which he recently released on a compilation album called "unused music" in 2022. By 2012 he had begun publishing his music under various YouTube channels associated with each corresponding project. Ojeda also briefly had a trance metal project called Alephace. While living in Oak Park, Illinois, Ojeda was also a member of bands Born an Abomination and Kaskaskia, both formed with Tony Hicks, the former lasting from 2012 to 2018, Damian's first prominent musical project or band, and the latter lasting from 2018 to 2024. The band's sound combined depressive black metal with melodic death metal and metalcore. He also briefly had a cybergrind project called Refisteuriv in 2012.
