Odradek Room is currently preparing for their performance at Doom Over Kiev on Sunday October 15, which will serve as their album release show at the monumental ten year anniversary of this great Doom Festival.
The "Man of Silt" album explores the nature of personality, and is based on approaches and conceptual understanding of buddhism, but utilizes a system of european symbolism This is a story about an abstract travel of a human from nothingness to nonexistence, during which he tries to see and understand himself. He sees his personality melting and rising, splitting and merging. He sees that his personality is nothing more than a combination of figures like on a chessboard in Herman Hesse's magic theatre. His personality is conditioned as everything else is in the world of forms. The human sinks in his own scaring, sick illusions and consciousness projections, and sees clear light and clear nature of reality. This story has neither a beginning nor an end, everyone who is born, who considers himself an individual, walks through this cycle...but in a new way each time. Everything is constantly changing...But in some way stays the same. Until one realizes this cycle.
The album should appeal to fans of doom metal in general, but also listeners of prog metal bands such as late- Katatonia, mid- Opeth, Ihsahn -Official-, and Devin Townsend
