The band was formed in the spring of 2008. In that time it was called Odium and appeared to be a studio project, consisting of 2 members: Sigmund (vocals, guitars, bass) and Cosmic Drone (keyboards). They recorded demo "Decay”, that included 3 songs (released in summer 2010 by Siore Immelstorn Records). The demo has got lots of positive opinions. After that musicians were looked for, and after successful search results in autumn,2008, the band was given its
actual name . The band’s debute concert was given on December, 19, 2008, and not long before that, the first Inner Missing EP "All the lifeless” was recorded. Denis Devichenskiy (Black Studio) was in charge for recording and mixing and mastering was performed by Dmitri Artaulin (Sunrise studio). The EP was released by Russian independent lable Satanarsa Records in March, 2009. For the album’s approval several concert were given in Saint-Peterburg and Moscow, among them concerts with such bands as Ordog, Throes Of Dawn and Misanthrope Count Mercyful.

How would you describe your style? Which bands influenced your music?
We play atmospheric doom\death metal strongly influenced by such bands as My Dying Bride, Katatonia, Novembre, Forest Stream and others... We try to create dark, gloomy and sick music expressing our own vision...

Why should a metalhead buy your demos/albums?
We don't insist on buying our CD's, everyone may easily download them from the internet.

What have you released so far and how were your releases received by the public/media?
Up to the present moment we released one demo ("Decay", Siore Immelstorn Records, 2008), one EP ("All The Lifeless",  Satanarsa Records, 2009) and a full-length album The Age Of Silence ( Darknagar Records, 2010). Our releases usually got divided and different opinions from Magazines, Webzines and public
as well. We hope, it mean that our music is good enough not to make people indifferent.

Do you play live as well? How's your live activity so far?
Yes, as well we have played about 20 gigs in Russia and Belarus... Live shows are a very important part of our music life.

What sould labels/zines/promoters know about your band? Why should they be interested in it?
Labels should know, that now the band is creating a new album, which should be rather more various and rather more interesting than our previous works. And we are also looking for the shows in different countries!
