Through the Poison of the Happiness by Path Sad is a haunting and introspective album that showcases the artist's unique blend of atmospheric black metal and post-rock. From the opening track, "The End of the World," the listener is transported to a world of melancholy and despair, where the only respite is found in the beauty of the music itself.
The album is a journey through the darkest corners of the human psyche, with tracks like "The Abyss" and "Into the Void" exploring themes of isolation and emptiness. Yet, amidst the bleakness, there are moments of hope and resilience, as heard in the soaring melodies of "A New Dawn" and the cathartic release of "The Last Breath."
Throughout the album, Path Sad's guitar work is particularly noteworthy, with intricate riffs and sweeping arpeggios that create a sense of grandeur and majesty. The vocals, too, are a standout feature, with a raw and emotive delivery that perfectly captures the intensity of the lyrics.
