loud and ferocious noise streaming in my ears anckle deep in the dirt who feels like dancing with me? "the car we're driving got no suspension" i hope you're not afraid not afraid of abandoned roads the route we're taking is not on the map i hope you're not afraid of getting lost noone has ever got lost for no reason it's something i don't believe in it's all a part of the path we're going uphill we're walking on slippery stones i'm frozen to the bone it's all a part of the path i know uncertainty can be scary, still predetermination feels much worse for me don't want my trajectory to be easy to calculate even if the final is known don't want it to be obvious noone has ever got lost for no reason it's something i don't believe in it's all a part of the path we're going uphill we're walking on slippery stones i'm frozen to the bone it's all a part of the path we're going uphill walking on slippery stones we carry what's left of our freedom we carry what's left of ourselves

Awake 04:17
one night i got a nightmare and i never woke up i've had bad dreams before but that one won't stop it faded out but never dissapeared its shade's on every damn thing around me it left a mark an ugly mark on me it laid its shadow a shadow on my world i'm looking through the blurry lense i'm hearing through the concrete wall it's all endless wandering in the fog i want someone to guide me out into clarity i want someone to guide me out to remind me what it's like being awake i can't clean the ashes of nightmare from my eyes It's seeking into what appears like real life it's making everything so hollow and dull what was thrilling before doesn't cut it anymore it got me holding onto what was left of my weakening mind it got me wondering why i was still alive the body heals itself just a scar left to remind but deep inside there's a cut that won't stop bleeding

Dirty River 01:54
this place's so strange the who inhabit it the fishes living in viscid broth endless fatigue it's all slow motion blunted eyes blurry thoughts dirty is the river but you will swallow some water if you spend enough time swimming you become a part of what is inside the boiling pot if you spend enough time in it it gets in your lungs it seeps under your skin sometimes i see the ones who stand out clarity and sorrow in their eyes the slow defeat the stopping heartbeat watching their fire as it dies they are the sparks that never set afire the huge pile of wet rotten wood the pinch of spice that never makes a huge vat of savorless broth to taste any good no unable to help no will never belong no better not waste any time here - all it does is making you just as boring tired inert as the rest dirty is the river but you will swallow some water if you spend enough time swimming you become the part of what is inside the boiling pot if you spend enough time in it dirty is the river but you will swallow some water if you spend enough time swimming it seeps under your skin it gets in your lungs you become a part of it

To Evolve 08:16
another sunrise has come to give us a new place to go i can clearly see the horizont we're racing beyond the word we are bringing with ourselves i hope you hear we've come to tell the old fortress is falling it's time to get out the sound we are bringing with ourselves i hope you feel what it has to tell the mighty order of the old law is no longer around try to feel it inside hear it inside of you thunder and quake of the old world collapse even the stars collide even the oceans dry the most solid rock erodes into dust the world run by the few corrupted rotten and weak won't let the skyes remain blue won't let the fields remain green the world run by the few corrupted rotten and weak drowning in its own sewer how long you think it will last the old stronghold will fall it's gone by that night can you hear the dogs howl can you hear the priests cry the old king's very sick we better let him die can you hear the dogs howl can you hear the priests cry what stops flowing rots what stops moving dies without any blood the flesh starts to rot the most solid rock erodes into dust what did not evolve is no longer seen under the sun i can clearly see the horizont we're racing beyond the word we are bringing with ourselves i hope you hear we've come to tell the old king's very sick we better let him die let the old stronghold fall fall down in your soul let the fire mirror in your eyes the fire of burning ruins the ruins of past times old wintry world is gone by the end of that night can you hear the dogs howl can you hear the priests cry can you hear the old world's faithful priests cry

about

First demo, made in June-July 2015, when there was still no real lineup, no bandname and no real plans for the future of the project, only some riffs and song ideas. Huge thanks to: Slava for willing to spend a whole bunch of weekends jamming, helping me put the songs together, great playing, kindness and patience; Lars for his help with mixing, making it into a real band and friendship; Zhenya for the practice room and recording. - Sergey

about

Niedra Oslo, Norway

Niedra is a threepiece from Norway and Russia that makes music in a landscape where diy avantgarde meets heavy punk and surrealism shakes hands with dadaism. Loud in a way that speaks to the skeleton and heavy like the weight of time.
