REAPING

Reaping is a one-man black metal project created by New York City native Skaald (Rob Maldonado). Blending haunting ambient textures with unrelenting aggression, the project explores the intersection of atmospheric black metal and death metal, forging a sound that is both immersive and ferocious.

Rooted in the grit of the NYC metal underground and shaped by a deep appreciation for black metal and cinematic composition, Reaping channels a balance of darkness and melody where expansive soundscapes meet raw, driving force.

As an instrumental project, Reaping places a strong emphasis on expressive guitar work, allowing melody and intensity to speak without words. The result is a visceral and atmospheric experience designed to resonate with both longtime metal listeners and those drawn to its more evocative, melodic side.
