Bedrängnis (engl. Distress) is a swiss Misanthropic-Black Metal band which was founded in 2020 by “Aeshma”. Two years later the debut album “Die Bürde die wir tragen” was released and with “Fuath” as a permanent drummer the band’s line-up was completed.
On the foundation of somber texts over oppressing melodies the music reflects on the social interaction, that a lot of people’s behaviors is based on. The great dark side of ruthless society full of self-pity and bitterness, who digs it’s on grave over some irrelevant trivialities.
