My steps to nowhere, I go to the void, There’s no way to nowhere, having tricked the fate. Life is just a track of vagabond souls, No place for them to rest in its jail. Kali Ma Kali Ma Aum Sri Paramaha Kali Ma Namah Jayam A blind man’s way directs to nowhere, To nowhere – with no beginning, without the end. Death is eternal, dream with an indestructible snare. The world’s buried with fallen leaves of flam. Kali Ma Kali Ma Aum Sri Paramaha Kali Ma Namah Jayam To nowhere all words, dreams to nowhere as well, Scattered to nowhere the ashes of love. Anger is buried, the fear passed away, The eyes’ narrow pupils see no more time.

The chamber is empty. It’s lonely, cold, damp. Chains are joined in fetters on hands. Eyes ‘re closed, eyelids ‘re poured by lead. I dream I’m inside – on the prison bed. His shackles became rusted on weak withered wrists. I feel my body’s heaviness – it squeezed all from within. He silently eats food, and, having curled up, silently sleeps. And only separation torments, pain pierces with arrows. Drowse in unconsciousness – I am imprisoned with him. He appears rarer in my mind. Increasingly, I’m alone. Daylight decreases in long nights of melancholy. Hours turned to days. Thoughts’ sorrow gnaws. Prisoners in this body, we are completely strange. I am stiff-limbed and mute, when he looks outside. Releasing me, my dream turns off my mind, Looking at the man behind the prison bars.

The stuck lifetime is the violet chasm, It helplessly attracts and whispers to the soul: "Wake up!" – As a poured echo – don’t follow this path. The Universe gist is the void – find yourself, drink an envenomed cup! Blood thickens there, becoming the river of mud, Pus gets into blood vessels through infected flows. Venomous oxygen tears the membrane layer apart. Behind the matter layer, the dark is generated by the void. The void is the bottom’s back, “Tomorrow” won’t be, “yesterday” doesn’t exist. There is nothing else, only a dream. Having found himself, a blind began to see, Having submerged in vortex depths. A sighted one is also the blind, Sinking like a stone – day in and day out.

about

NIDRA: To be on our way is the most important thing, we are in this state, and our next stop can appear in absolutely other range of perception, but we went deep into doom metal namely in this point.
Compositions of this release present our view of doom metal in its various forms, whether it is funeral, atmospheric or experimental doom.
We are also glad to present Katharos, our companion for the split, who covered BETHLEHEM, the dark metal fathers, together with us especially for this release.

K.M.: Beginning of K.M. project was initiated long before its vigorous activity. The first and main project of a musician under a pseudonym Katharos, a band called EMPTINESS SOUL, was formed in 2010. For 4 years of existence, the project realized 6 stylistically different full-length albums. This stylistic variety of albums is not due to ignorance of the certain way for development, but because of his desire to express a number of various emotions and feelings, and embody them in various forms. As the result, in 2014, it encouraged to finish EMPTINESS SOUL’s activity and create some projects with a deeper message: LAUXNOS, THE HAPPINESS CAGE, REINCARNATION and K.M.
K.M. became a worthy continuation of EMPTINESS SOUL. The project released EP "Five Days of a Lethargic Sleep" in September 2014. Dark metal/neoclassic became a stylistic basis of the project. The topics of lyrics are based on solitude philosophy, and deep comprehension of own essence. Stereotypes, emotions, frameworks of human consciousness, all of this, is a never-ending source for reflections, and the aim of the author is to find room for it both in lyrics, and in a musical component of the project.

We would like to express our gratitude to those who helped us to create this recording.

about

Nidra Russia

Organized in 2010 as a project consisting of two guys: Cold(Taurus) - music, Dozhd' - vocals, lyrics.
The name of the band means "sleep" from a Sanskrit. In their understanding it is equating with the existence of people in depressing conditions with all pessimism in this world, which is based on metaphysics and subjective perception of environment.
The project closed in 2022.
