This time around, I'm reviewing a certain artist, rather than an album. The artist is Waste of Life, a DSBM (depressive/suicidal black metal) artist. Typically, people tend to think that this music is made for people who want to kill themselves. However, that is not the case. This type of music is actually quite calming, as indicated by Waste of Life's song "Exposing the Torment Within My Veins." Waste of Life is just one man, Darrick Hazelwood, a 22-year old man from Carpentersville, Illinois. He has a knack for making music, and he plays every instrument and does vocals for Waste of Life. My favorite track from this guy would have to be his instrumental "The Fluttering of Forever Closing Eyelids." It beautifully blends raw black metal sounds with a kind of soothing sound that you don't usually hear with black metal. "Exposing the Torment Within My Veins" would have to be my second, and "Waste of Life" my third. All in all, Waste of Life is a solid artist who is fairly underground. His track, "Tears Fill My Dying Eyes," starts off with what sounds like the scream of a person dying an agonizing death, an apt sound for the track's name. I urge anyone who is into DSBM to check this artist out. You will not be disappointed, unless you're looking for great sound quality, because it doesn't seem like his recording equipment is that great. But, all-in-all, I would give this artist a four-and-a-half out of five stars.
