𝚡̲adaa Honestly, a stunning piece of work and the best EP of 2023. Favorite track: Hierophant.

Kris Faust Excellent dark trip-hop with metal/hardcore elements.Kariti's airy haunting vocals flow effortlessly over deliberately slow and brooding ghostly dirges that seamlessly morph into Rage-filled passages of screaming, distortion, and blastbeats. Then back into a meditative darkness. And always ethereal, always beautiful.
The music here sounds organic and human despite being predominantly electronic. Highly recommended ffo trip-hop, slow-paced electronica, as well as Non Serviam and related projects

augenlow Goosebumps from the first second, especially with Hierophant & Follower. Beautiful voice on heavy lyrics.

Be righteous, worthy, pure

Absolutely worth listening to! Favorite track: Hierophant.

bmurator I am not sure about the classification of this & it really does not matter. It is certainly post-metal of some sort & it is certainly anti-fascist (read those lyrics!) & this is all that is important! Plus that voice is heavenly & fits beautifully!

Нет, право, жить и грустно да и больно!.. Could not agree more!

Highly recommended!!!

your whole dreary life you longed for illusion to be contrived you changed your ways you morphed your shapes you altered your bite you abandonned your previous creeds renounced your permanent truths denied your conquers rejected your shores turned inside out so why the trembling hand why these hesitant eyes you’re finally getting what you came for but instead of just being yourself you chose to say the words that have already been said before open your drying mouth bare your rotting teeth emit the noise waste the air reveal what’s underneath don’t be so fucking afraid to show your truest face no one will cry no one cares, you have nothing to bequeath don’t be so fucking afraid to show your truest face no one’s surprised no one cares, you have nothing to bequeath

В наш странный век все грустью поражает Не мудрено: привыкли мы встречать Работой каждый день; все налагает Нам на душу особую печать. Мы жить спешим. Без цели, без значенья Жизнь тянется, проходит день за днем — Куда, к чему? не знаем мы о том. Вся наша жизнь есть смутный ряд сомненья Мы в тяжкий сон живем погружены. Как скучно все: младенческие грезы Какой-то тайной грустию полны, И шутка как-то сказана сквозь слезы! И лира наша вслед за жизнью веет Ужасной пустотою: тяжело! Усталый ум безвременно коснеет И чувство в нас молчит, усыплено. Что ж в жизни есть веселого? Невольно Немая скорбь на душу набежит И тень сомненья сердце омрачит... Нет, право, жить и грустно да и больно!..

you killed your children so that they never do become like you you killed your children so that they never have to live like you do you put them out of misery they yet to see to flounder through the cold embrace of death is sheerer than what you call real and true you killed your children like you kill all those you deem worth less than you like those you think exist to serve your needs to fight your wars defend your truth the silence of oblivion is sweeter than what proudly you call your way the viscous plastic snivel conceitedly you bath in every day you killed your children so that they never do become like you you killed your children so that they never have to live like you do

Hierophant 06:33
she deems what’s sacred what’s arcane, she shows you gates she takes your hand denies profane, impersonates she takes you places you could never go alone she tells you lies so sweet you feel like you belong be righteous, worthy, pure obey the cross and will salvation come the day of wrath but only you will stand there at the end with all the parts of you who can’t pretend with your two hands to open burning doors the rope around your neck is only yours

about

Néant is the brainchild of the French multi-instrumentalist, vocalist and composer Void (Non Serviam, Biollante, Hiverlucide) and the Russian-born musician and poet kariti, currently based in Italy. The idea came to life in 2022 when the two started talking about a collaboration, which resulted in a four song EP with musical influences ranging from Massive Attack, Portishead and Archive to Ulver, Godflesh and The Bug, and with lyrics drawing from Russian nihilism, and the absurdity and hypocrisy of human values.
