Description
Monument Prázdnoty (Eng: Monument of Emptiness) is the debut album from Czech post, doom metal band Indrid Cold. The word emptiness means: “The field of boundless emptiness is what exists from the very beginning. You must purify, cure, grind down, or brush away all the tendencies you have fabricated into apparent habits. Then you can reside in a clear circle of brightness. Utter emptiness has no image. Upright independence does not rely on anything. Just expand and illuminate the original truth unconcerned by external conditions.
Accordingly, we are told to realize that not a single thing exists. In this field birth and death do not appear. The deep source, transparent down to the bottom, can radiantly shine and can respond unencumbered to each speck of dust [each object] without becoming its partner. The subtlety of seeing and hearing transcends mere colors and sounds. The whole affair functions without leaving traces and mirrors without obscurations.“
Monument Prázdnoty is a mix of heavy guitar riffs, blackened atmosphere, doomy melodies, darkness and melancholy.

Seven tracks of post-doom metal played with quite slow rhythms. While those ‘post’ elements reaching the whole album structure there are also some classic doom metal tunes made by guitars (I like those moments btw). The whole album is well built, with interesting guitar parts, measured drumming and rough vocals …read more

L’esperienza dei musicisti coinvolti (tre quarti degli Indrid Cold proviene dai Born Again, una death band attiva già agli albori del secolo) fa il resto, rendendo Monument Prázdnoty un’opera davvero godibile e pressoché priva di passaggi interlocutori grazie al perseguimento dell’idea di una forma canzone non così scontata in ambito post metal. Un bella scoperta per chi predilige questo genere …read more
