YomaBarr Perfect for the evening but check out for monsters under your bed later...

If Below the Sun (just because), Eirđ (because of the world murdering female vocals), Ikarie (because of the atmosphere) and Katharos XIII (because of chamber strings and stuff) had an unruly, unholy orgy, the offspring could be something like this.

inhumanabomination Incredible concept album. Very powerful and serene at the same time. Breeding the shadows have a unique sound. The whole album flows like a single song, with it's steady build-ups, its tension outbreaks and its unwinding relaxations. The instrumentation is meticulous and the production is crystal. An overall very strong and mature debut album. Love it! Favorite track: Killing the Beloved.

Seizure 07:11
Where are you dear Are you lost alone When the sun shed a ray, I would follow home I will find you again I shall find you again Μy Shadow calls Searching the dark Her eyes void cold Μy Shadow calls Somebody took her from me And my dreams go wild Everything I see in my sleep Comes to life The horrors Calling me Barriers Breaking to set them free Terrified Of sleeping again I keep myself awake To avoid The horrible Stories that my brain Wants to tell Crushing reality She kept me From hell Subsiding my demons Turning wishes to dreams And anguish To nightmares I now feel My angst Prevailing my mind Hope lurking beneath Hiding Inside my head There is No escape From your own brain When all that’s dark It grows in your heart When all that’s dark It grows on your heart

The Hunt 03:39
Madness comes to you As the clock strikes three Explosions fill the sky Spatters of red Coloring the dust The hunting grounds For the weak to die Something calling my name Hunts me down in the crimson rain I rush down the stairs The creature follows A path that never ends The labyrinth of lines Expanding Splitting Branching Its walls Closing Crushing Anything That winds up Inside As the walls suffocate me I find myself outside In a moonless field The creature follows I reach a building dark The labyrinth of time Appearing Moving Turning Its rooms Driving Mad Anyone That ends up Inside As madness reaches me I seek a place to hide My breath fogs the mirror And opens a portal to escape As I strive to create a door The creature sighs Will I die if I jump Will it tear me apart Growling Staring Grabbing my hand It claws I turn It smiles It has my face

As I lay down Μy thoughts prevail Without asking My Shadow Without asking My Shadow now gone They make of me their toy And call forth Silence The mistress of nightmares The one The one that keeps you from screaming When demons come When demons come They sleep on your chest Now it’s all real It’s all real I feel her next to me And shut my eyes To shove her away But she is still here And whispers: “Why are you so upset my child How can silence hurt you The demons are yours The demons are yours I tell you I am just here to make sure No-one hears your screams No-one wants to hear Your dreadful laments Tormenting the poor souls The ones that you killed In your nightmares The ones that you killed In your dreams ”Let me reach for the light” “I’m not keeping you away” “Let me grab my knife” “You are keeping yourself awake” “Stop tormenting me” “You are talking to yourself And it’s not a dream The lies you tell That no-one wants To hear Of the monster Under your bed Aspiring to make you One of them No one hears you scream Why are you so upset my child You know I could never hurt you You made the demons yourself Excuses to be the monster you want to be And dwell in silence In eternal silence“

How can this be Will it fill the void of this absence In my mind Ιf i kill you this night How can this be In nightmares I’m drowning As all burns Away As I, as I, as I roam and I roam and I roam Falling in a pit of despair When I, when I, when I wander and wander and wander And shed a tear But I‘ll kill you tonight While holding your hand I will kill you tonight With a shank through the heart But I killed you tonight While holding your heart I killed you tonight I killed you tonight I shed a tear Το lead me to you As to never forget What is fantasy or true This was the end The void of this absence persists In my mind Though I killed you tonight How can this be My horrors are howling As all burns As all burns away As I, as I, as I roam and I roam and I roam Falling in a pit of despair When I, when I, when I wander and wander and wander And shed a tear But I‘ll kill you tonight While holding your hand I will kill you tonight With a shank through the heart But I killed you tonight While holding your heart I killed you tonight I killed you tonight The serpent’s eyes The ritual knife A gloomy shrine Below purple Skies When I, as I, why I, who am I, what am I Doing this treacherous time As I, when I, what I, why am I When I, what I, why I, who am I Sacrificing to my sleepless nights

A sickly green Paints the sky As horrors invade our plane A sudden gust of wind The moonlight trembles As shadows flow Beneath a river of coal I follow I hear the creatures scream Their voice echoing in freezing pain driving me insane Multiplied and drained By the breeder of shadows “Nightmares have forlorn me For all these shadows take it all away I think no more I dread no more I succumb no more to my restless brain That feeds my foolish soul You don’t want to see What manifests If i stop breeding the shadows My own couldn’t bear it alone They keep The desires And all hope at bay Oh child you don’t wanna see when i stop breeding the shadows Kill me if you wish Now I feel no more pain”

about

Breeding the shadows LP narrates a story of lost sanity. The shadow as a metaphysical and
psychological concept can be regarded as the thing that connects the parts of the self, as it
safeguards the conscious from the secrets of the subconscious. The story follows the fiction of
losing one’s shadow and explores the ensuing psychological breakdown in five distinct
nightmares. The cover depicts the self’s balancing act between its noble logic and nefarious base
desires. We welcome you to dive in its dark waters and emerge cleansed.
