Das Leiden is a solo project formed in early 2019 by Dann Rossier with the need to express the beauty of sadness and melancholy through synthesizers and drum machines.

Influenced by genres such as Minimal Wave, Cold Wave, Synth Pop, Neue Deutsche Todeskunst, Das Lieden has created a particular sound which has been catalogued by many listeners as: dark, tragic, melancholy, danceable, vampiric, and nostalgic.

In 2020 the first EP was released, under the name "Wounds," which was characterised  by vintage sounds of the 80's and a certain cold minimalism in the synthesizers, creating a funeral like atmosphere. The album was lauded in Europe and the Americas.
