A Final Yearning Breath
Listless
I walked with heavy footsteps Weighed down by a longing for more More than this distant dream, these tattered thoughts Lingered on a final, yearning breath

Listless is a solo Depressive Black Metal project from Victoria, BC, Canada. The project aims to capture an isolated sense of solitude through melancholic introspection. Emotionally resonant guitars, desperate howls, and sorrowful keys aim to hypnotize listeners into a dark, endless oblivion.

The project comes from the mind of Aidan Crossley, the guitarist and vocalist of Victoria-based Atmospheric Black Metal band: Liminal Shroud. Aidan's past musical work includes roles in projects such as Numenorean, Vaaltovashe, and others. This project channels the songwriting, intensity, and surging expansiveness of Liminal Shroud while focusing more on emotive aspects of musical expression.

Listless is inspired by genre-defining depressive acts such as Austere, Woods of Desolation, Coldworld, None, and Gris. The composition also implements depressive rock elements from bands like Lifelover and Psychonaut 4.
