Kevin Brady swiftly replaced Matthew Whiting. A demo CD was recorded live called Endless, this was a somewhat primitive and flawed affair but was needed to further develop. Occasional shows were played and more line up changes ensued with Kristopher Clayton replacing Richard Farn.
At the beginning of 2005 CE Brady was considered unsuitable and was replaced by Stacey Booth. This line up remained solid and performed shows with such luminaries as Esoteric, Indesinence, Pantheist and Lazarus Blackstar and recorded the Monolithium demo - which was well received, three songs of extreme funeral/death doom were featured and it helped to secure an album deal with Weird Truth Productions in Japan of which is slated for release in early 2007 CE.
With great regret Kristopher Clayton announced his withdrawal from the project in September 2006 CE, he however is to appear on the album and will be a testament to his contribution. A split release is planned with French death/doom ensemble Ataraxie which shall be a tribute to the seminal band Bethlehem this is also planned ot be released by Weird Truth.
Imindain will continue to pursue musick that epitomises the grotesque spirit of human worthlessness.

Black Water
Imindain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of some form strange
Front or back
I cannot tell...
A hand is raised
As five candles
Of resplendent bluish flame
The bricks are black
And a heavy haze
The floor is full
With broken blood
And so many!
In Carbonised rigor!
Of Greyest ash!
A beautiful monument!
And so many!
In Carbonised rigor!
Of Greyest ash!
A beautiful monument!
The lyrics of Imindain's song "Black Water" are steeped in eerie imagery and an unsettling atmosphere. The opening lines describe a black figure of unknown origin, adding to the ominous tone. The singer's confusion creates a sense of disorientation in the listener, further accentuated by the line "front or back, I cannot tell." This leaves one questioning whether the figure is approaching or retreating, adding an extra layer of suspense.
The second verse introduces the image of a raised hand, accompanied by five candles with a bluish flame. However, instead of light, the scene is darkened by the presence of black water leaking from the candles. The combination of unusual elements that don't quite make sense adds up to create an unsettling aura. The final verse reinforces the eeriness, as the singer describes a room filled with bricks and heavy haze. The floor is strewn with broken blood, as countless bodies in a state of carbonised rigor and grey ash form a monument.
The song creates an unnerving soundscape and a sense of discomfort in the listener. The imagery is vivid but doesn't quite fit together in a logical way, further heightening the strangeness of the experience. The meaning behind the lyrics remains open to interpretation, but it's clear that Imindain sought to create a haunting atmosphere with this track.

It's not clear which direction the figure is facing
I cannot tell...
The artist is unsure about the details of the figure
A hand is raised
A hand is lifted up
As five candles
Five candles are lit
Of resplendent bluish flame
The candles emit a bright blue light
It leaks black water
An unknown substance is dripping from the candles
The bricks are black
The bricks are dark in color
And a heavy haze
A thick fog or mist is present
The floor is full
The ground is covered with
With broken blood
Blood appears to be spilled or splattered around
And so many!
There are numerous objects or things being observed
In Carbonised rigor!
These objects are charred or burned to a great degree
Of Greyest ash!
The objects have turned to ash
A beautiful monument!
Despite the destruction, the sight is still striking and impressive

It's been about 5 or 6 years since I listened to this masterpiece for the first time and I always end up coming back here. I've listened to the whole album and that's for sure the best of the genre - that is, if we can label Imindain with something. For me this is unique. Black Water in particular is extremely powerful and has such a heavy apocalyptic atmosphere that it makes me have kind a melancholy moment of death and destruction every time I listen to it.
Hails to Imindain from Brazil. Much respect!
@henriquefranca9145
This is the best fucking Death Doom Metal band i've ever known, for sure.
@towerofresonance4877
2006 was one of the absolute best years, hands down!
@ordogofficial
Cheers! So many years and still crushing material.
@Zaothus
I've heard the whole of the Monolithium demo, and I'll say only this: Imindain are the best thing to happen to the funeral doom scene in years.
@forbannet
Astonishing band. Been listening to this song for well over three years and It's better every time I listen. No words, this is fourth-dimensional shit! Hail from Brazil.
