It comprises a listening journey of confusing, dark, beautiful, scary, comical, twisted, psychotic, and bizarre dreams. The album takes the listener on a dark and sometimes terrifying journey of strange voices, bizarre sounds, beautiful moments, maddening architecture, and intricate instrumentation. It is highly unique, making use of hypnotising drones, occult rituals, odd lyrics, and hidden meanings. Listeners will hear something new each time they play the album.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKathodos, the man behind the project, conceptualised the band in 2019 as an 'experiment in darkness'. Having previously performed as a rock musician, he sought to create something darker. The album's atmosphere was conjured from the best fragments of his dreams and the worst fragments of his nightmares. The entire album was composed in the spring of 2021 after lying dormant for nearly two years. Following another period of latency, most of the instrumentation and vocals were recorded in the spring of 2022. A difficult period in late 2022 delayed the project until 2023, when the rest of the album was finally recorded. Lavinia was recruited in late 2023 to provide soprano, spoken word vocals, and guitar on a few tracks. Kathodos also produced, mixed, and mastered the album in late 2023 and early 2024. After gaining a strong following from the few people who happened upon the initial release, Kathodos signed with Rune Serpent Europa in 2025 to reach a wider audience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKathodos is a studio-only project and does not perform live. A second album is currently in the works. The band has also appeared on two official compilations released by Rune Serpent Europa: Laibach Tribut - Schlecht Und Ironisch, for which Kathodos covered the Laibach song 'White Law' and Saturno Butto tribute 'The Five Senses', contributing the track 'Death \u0026amp; Rebirth'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor fans of Nurse With Wound\/Coil\/Current 93\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003ch2\u003eTrack Listing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cul\u003e        \u003cli\u003ePhantom of the Throne Room\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eA Memory Dwindles…\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003e …Window\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eThe Dark Priests\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003eHanging Tree\u003c\/li\u003e                  \u003cli\u003e Message Sent to Earth\u003c\/li\u003e          \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003ch2\u003eAdditional Details\u003c\/h2\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e The circle music\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ambient\/Experimental\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRun Time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 49:00 mins\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0       \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 03\/06\/26\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 617669421413\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"CIRCLEMUS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47201400029433,"sku":"RSE007","price":19.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0815\/4889\/files\/RSE007.jpg?v=1767982836","url":"https:\/\/mvdshop.com\/products\/kathodos-parasomnia-pavor-nocturnus-cd","provider":"MVD Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
