Known for his unique fusion of death metal and orchestral elements, Daniel Bohn has carved a niche in the metal scene, drawing inspiration from iconic acts like Porcupine Tree, Opeth, and Persefone.

Bohn’s blend of melodic clean vocals and ferocious screams amplifies the emotional weight of the song, reflecting the pain and frustration of falling short of parental expectations.
As the song progresses, crunchy guitars and layered rhythms create an intense soundscape, leading to a climactic finale that’s both raw and cathartic. “Failure” not only highlights Daniel Bohn’s technical prowess but also his ability to craft a compelling narrative through his music. It’s a visceral, hard-hitting track that cements his place in the progressive metal scene. Listen to “Failure” below and experience the emotional depth of Bohn’s latest offering.
