Voskhod

from KOSMODROM by MONOLITHE

/
  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    KOSMODROM, MONOLITHE's 9th full-length album, tells the tale of intrepid pioneers, explorers, discoverers and the dangers and sacrifices inherent to their leap into the unknown, through the metaphor of real historical events related to the space conquest on the Soviet side.
    Some famous figures such as Vladimir Komarov, Alexei Leonov or the dog Laïka can be encountered at the turn of a song or a text line.

    KOSMODROM is musically a compendium of the know-how accumulated by the band over its more than two decades of existence, through a racy and futuristic Doom Metal, crossed with progressive touches and sprinkled with new influences.

lyrics

VOSKHOD

Dawn breaks
But it's still dark
Through the ship porthole
The stars are shining
And the blue sphere glows

The narrow cabin creaks
Screeching sounds from the dashboards
The radio crackles
The suit is ready

The air is clean here
Just like the silence
Right there outside
Biting cold and indifferent

The airlock opens slowly
One foot first, then the other

A thin metal partition
Splits the midst and the pit

Floating in nothingness
To become one with it

Tame the depths too
Like an adverse obstacle

Breathing sounds are very loud
Time doesn't really exist anymore

This darkness is so beautiful
Yet so unearthly terrifying

To be the initial front-runner
To dive into the unknown
To be the first pathfinder
To leap in Terra Incognita
