Siren Oath is a one‑man post‑black metal and shoegaze project from PoznaĹ„, shaped entirely by the vision of Bobek Bobkovski, whose work blends depressive themes, dreamlike textures, and emotionally raw songwriting. Emerging quietly but decisively in the early 2020s, Siren Oath has become part of the new Polish wave of introspective, genre‑fluid blackgaze—projects that merge black metal’s emotional intensity with shoegaze’s haze, post‑rock’s expansiveness, and the intimate vulnerability of bedroom recording.
Bobkovski’s approach is deeply personal: shimmering guitars drenched in reverb, soft‑crushed distortion, whispered or distant screams, and a sense of emotional fragility that permeates every track. His music revolves around depression, loss, longing, and the quiet ache of human connection—delivered with sincerity rather than theatrics. Siren Oath’s sound often feels like a blurred photograph: beautiful, wounded, and suspended between dream and collapse.
Sanguine Chants (Full‑length, 2023)
The debut album introduced Siren Oath’s core aesthetic: blackgaze drenched in melancholy, with soaring guitar layers and vocals that drift between vulnerability and catharsis. It established Bobkovski as a compelling new voice in Polish post‑black metal.
Morta (EP, 2024)
A darker, more introspective release. Morta leans into themes of death and emotional dissolution, with slower tempos and thicker atmospheric layering. It feels like a descent—quiet, suffocating, and beautifully bleak.
I Hear You Coming (Single, 2024)
A transitional piece that blends shoegaze warmth with post‑black intensity. The track hints at a more melodic, emotionally open direction while retaining the project’s depressive core.
Loveless (Full‑length, 2024)
Siren Oath’s most expansive and emotionally charged work to date. Loveless explores heartbreak, longing, and the collapse of intimacy through lush guitar textures, layered vocals, and a more refined sense of dynamics. It balances fragility and intensity, marking a significant artistic step forward.
Siren Oath stands out for its emotional honesty and its ability to merge genres without losing coherence. The project’s music is:
In a Polish scene increasingly rich with atmospheric and avant‑garde projects, Siren Oath occupies a quiet but powerful niche: music for the late hours, for grief, for memory, and for the fragile spaces where love and loss meet.
