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.

Men Shall Be Vessels
Imindain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Scratching from beyond
Beyond the ancient gate...
From a time past
There are spheres...
Realms of black madness
Of howling and screams...
Amorphous eldritch forms
Hissing obsidian scales
Tenticular ancient thrashings
A maddening abode
There are fissures...
Cracks to the beyond
Keys and doors...
Portals and men
Unknown terrors...
Unimagined pleasures
Men shall be vessels
To carry the old ones
To walk among us
Like wolves among the flock...
The lyrics of Imindain's song "Men Shall Be Vessels" paint a vivid picture of unsuspecting humanity being preyed upon by malevolent entities from beyond the ancient gate. The scratching sounds that are heard indicate that these beings are trying to break through to our realm, and the lyrics describe their amorphous, eldritch forms, hissing obsidian scales, and tenticular thrashings. These entities exist in spheres or realms of black madness, where they feed on corporeality and create unknown terrors and unimagined pleasures.
The lyrics suggest that there are keys and doors, or portals, which allow these entities to cross over into our realm. Men, according to the lyrics, will be vessels for the old ones to cross over into our world, where they will walk among us like wolves among the flock. The lyrics imply that humanity is powerless against these entities, and that our bodies will be used as mere vessels for their wicked purposes.
Overall, the lyrics of "Men Shall Be Vessels" are a chilling depiction of humanity being at the mercy of malevolent beings from beyond our world. The lyrics suggest that these beings have unimaginable power over us, and that they will stop at nothing to gain entry into our world.
