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.

This Empty Flesh
Imindain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And wth sunken pits for eyes...
And souls washed away
To reveal the grey
Ashen hues for all the days...
Each alone in crowded rooms
Ashen cries in plastic tombs
Each of us to face our end
Theres no love
No selfless need
Yet here were are to each we bleed
We are but driftwood
Upon oceans...
Emotion is illusion
To quiet the soul
Emotion is illusion
To quiet the soul!
We fool ourselves with the lies
Empty platitudes and fallacy
Each alone - disconnected
We lay in pastures and fields
Of loneliness and silent tears
Theres no love
No selfless need
Yet here were are to each we bleed
Theres no love
No selfless need
Yet here were are to each we bleed
Theres no love
No selfless need
Yet here were are to each we bleed
Theres no love
No selfless need
Yet here were are to each we bleed
You are all lost
A fallacy of intent
No selfless quality
Deceive yourselves no longer!
Deceive yourselves no longer!
Deceive yourselves no longer!
You are stark in my eyes!
In my eyes!
In my eyes!
