Sun Of The Sleepless

Atmospheric Black Metal Project

Sun of the Sleepless is a black metal project created by German musician Ulf Theodor Schwadorf (real name Markus Stock), who is also known for his work with Empyrium and The Vision Bleak. The project blends atmospheric black metal with poetic lyrics and ambient influences, creating a unique soundscape that reflects the darker aspects of nature and human emotion. Sun of the Sleepless released its debut EP "Poems to the Wretches Hearts" in 1999, followed by a split album with Nachtmahr in 2004. After a long period of dormancy, the project re-emerged with the critically acclaimed full-length album "To the Elements" in 2017, which showcased a matured sound and was well-received within the black metal community for its atmospheric depth and lyrical intensity. Schwadorf's work under this moniker is noted for its introspective and often melancholic tone, setting it apart from his other musical endeavors.
