Knee Deep In Custard Radio Kapital

Я заходил чтобы уйти

ICEBERG

Всё стало другим

This song reflects the tough realities American youth have faced in recent years—grappling with anxiety and the weight of the world on their shoulders. But within that struggle, it captures a sense of euphoric detachment, as if everything fades away and there's nothing left but freedom.

Into the quiet

Nebular Ascendance

Ashes from the Hollow is a dark, atmospheric progressive metal piece that delves into themes of inner collapse, transformation, and the echoes of forgotten selves. Built on shifting dynamics and layered emotion, it blends haunting clean vocals with deep growls, acoustic passages with dissonant heaviness. This is not a song made for radio—there are no hooks, no polish, only raw expression shaped by shadow and silence. From fragile fingerpicking to crushing riff walls, each movement pulls the listener deeper into a fractured, cinematic descent.

Ashes from the Hollow

A Different World

The world has changed, I see it now,
No direction, lost somehow.
Battles heavy, scars remain,
Loss is carved into my name.

Something in me fell apart,
A broken soul, a shattered heart.
Half of me has died inside,
Purpose gone, nowhere to hide.

The sky is different,
The air is thin.
The essence fading,
It pulls me in.
I feel so broken,
I feel so weak,
Exhaustion drowning,
No strength to speak.

I feel sick, I feel lost,
I feel confused, I pay the cost.
I feel the end of suffering,
But the consequences never stop with him.

The sky is broken,
The air won’t heal.
The essence bleeding,
I can’t conceal.
I’m lost and broken,
Still searching through,
A shattered vision,
Of what is true.

I feel sick…
I feel sick…
I feel sick…

A Different World

Voices in the Static

Broken streets, neon fades,
Truth gets twisted, justice decays.
Screens ignite, they sell the lies,
We trade our souls for alibis.

Every breath feels counterfeit,
Every word’s a hypocrite.
We’re choking on the noise they make,
But silence is the choice we break.

And in the static I hear a call,
A fragile voice beneath it all.

We’re drowning in a world insane,
Carved in chaos, built on pain.
But still we rise, against the tide,
The truth survives when hope’s alive.

Iron fists in velvet hands,
Programmed minds obey commands.
Fear’s the currency they trade,
Another war, another grave.

We break the chains they fabricate,
We elevate, we detonate.
The system burns, but we remain,
Unbroken voices in the rain.

And in the static I hear a call,
A fragile voice beneath it all.

We’re drowning in a world insane,
Carved in chaos, built on pain.
But still we rise, against the tide,
The truth survives when hope’s alive.

Echoes collide,
Darkness divides.
Still I remain,
Still I arise.

We’re drowning in a world insane,
Carved in chaos, built on pain.
But still we rise, against the tide,
The truth survives when hope’s alive.

Voices in the Static

The Fallen Angel

Today I wake with no direction,
The streets beneath me fade away.
Years of love and true devotion
Vanished in a single day.

Don’t let the silence drag me down,
I’m breaking, falling to the ground.
A fire still burns beneath the pain,
The fallen angel speaks my name.

I crawl the road just like a shadow,
Every step returns the pain.
The mirrors crack but show my face,
A thousand scars I can’t erase.

Don’t let the silence drag me down,
I’m breaking, falling to the ground.
A fire still burns beneath the pain,
The fallen angel speaks my name.

Even in the crowd I stumble,
Hope is fragile, hope is thin.

Don’t let the silence drag me down,
I’ve carried this weight too long.
Through fire and storm I stand again,
The fallen angel won’t remain.

Through the storm, I still remain

The Fallen Angel

Verse 1
When I woke up in the morning light,
The sky was burning, golden bright.
I felt the silence, heard the sound,
But shadows started coming round.

Verse 2
I tried to hold the warmth inside,
But storms were moving, could not hide.
A hidden weight began to rise,
Dark clouds gathered in the skies.

Chorus 1
Dark clouds in the shining sky,
Questions with no reason why.
Even when the light is near,
Shadows whisper… I still hear.

Verse 3
I walked the streets, the air was cold,
A fragile heart, a story told.
I tried to laugh, I tried to sing,
But storms erased the joy I bring.

Bridge
You can’t erase the fire inside,
The storm won’t steal the breath I take.
Though heavy clouds may block the way,
The light will learn to stay.

Final Chorus / Climax
Dark clouds in the shining sky,
Hope and sorrow intertwined.
Even when the day is bright,
Shadows dance within the light.

Dark Clouds in the Shining Sky

Lyric

Verse 1
Four months gone, a void no time could heal,
Echoes in silence, your shadow I still feel.
My body bears the weight, each breath drifts away,
A memory unbroken, though night steals the day.

Verse 2
I search your face in the frame on the wall,
But only solitude answers my call.
Your perfume lingers on the empty bed,
Morning coffee tastes of the dead.

Hook
On this darkened stage, my soul still cries for you,
A symphony of longing, a love that stays true.
Just a body that is gone, an end I can’t obey,
In every note that lingers, forever I will stay.

Bridge
I promised I’d be your harbor, your strength, your wall,
But how do vows survive when the altar lets you fall?
A fury burns within me, against the silent skies,
I scream your name into the wind, only echoes reply.

Final Hook
On this darkened stage, my soul still cries for you.
Forever I will stay, forever I will stay.

Outro
Echoes reply… echoes reply…

A Symphony Of Longing

Echoes of Light – “Afterlight”

[ Lyrics ]
Turning around… turning around…
The city fades - I feel the night begin.
Silence cuts through all the noise within.
The air is slow, the shadows crawl,
I find myself… escaping it all.

The world keeps shouting in my ears,
Every headline built on fear.
Truth is bent and sold again,
Power feeds on broken men.
I walk through streets that never sleep,
Screens reflecting eyes too weak.
No place left to hide my mind,
I’m burning from the noise inside.

They call it freedom,
But I can’t feel it here.
They call it order,
But all I sense is fear.

Because I can’t take it anymore,
My mind is tired, my spirit sore.
In the silence I am reborn,
This is where I’m safe once more.

The daylight burns, it never heals.
Faces blur in spinning wheels.
I see the world devour itself,
All the noise, all the rage, all the lies that I’ve felt.

Night comes… and I feel safe again.
The noise fades, the city sleeps.
I can breathe… I can finally breathe.
Here - in the dark - I exist.

Because I can’t take it anymore.
But I don’t need their world to endure.
In the silence I am reborn,
This is where I’m safe once more.

Silence… my shelter.
Silence… my cure.

[ About this track ]
“Afterlight” is a descent into stillness —  
a journey through the noise of modern existence toward the peace found in solitude.  
It reflects exhaustion, clarity, and the quiet rebellion of turning away from chaos  
to rediscover the self that survives beyond the static.  

Blending cinematic ambience, dark progressive tones, and emotional layering,  
the track captures that fragile moment between despair and serenity —  
where silence becomes both wound and remedy.

Afterlight

Embrace

The city sleeps in quiet air,
I breathe alone, but you’re not there.
Shadows move where voices fade,
And I remember every name.

I lost the faces that made me be,
Saw leaving those who could truly see.
Now I stand between walls that never hear,
And the world keeps turning, but not near.

I gave so much, forgot how to receive,
Grew colder, too tired to believe.
All that once was light turned into distance,
And my soul lost its childlike existence.

Maybe love was never gone,
Just waiting in the quiet dawn.
Maybe I forgot the sound
Of someone staying around.

I just wanted a hug
To remind me I’m alive.
I just wanted an eye
To see me, with no reason why.

I spoke to walls and empty sheets,
Screamed out truths no one would read.
And time kept stealing all I knew,
Even the little that was true.

I just wanted a hug
To remind me I’m alive.
I just wanted an eye
To see me, with no reason why.

And time keeps turning slow,
But I still feel the glow.
In silence, I remain 
Embrace my name.

Echoes of Light is an independent music producer who transforms emotion, memory, and real human experience into atmospheric, progressive and cinematic sound. The project was born during a period of deep personal loss, where music became a way to survive, to heal, and to give meaning to moments that words could no longer carry.

With roots in the classic hi-fi world of the 80s and 90s, and supported by formal training in sound engineering, Echoes of Light combines technical precision with emotional depth. Years of work in mixing through the Cambridge Music Technology program helped refine a unique approach to sound design — from controlling bleed in drum recordings to shaping immersive textures and expressive dynamics.

On the technical side, the project has been strongly informed by educators and engineers such as Dan Worrall and Mark Daniel Nelson, whose in-depth explanations of plugins, dynamics and mixing workflows helped shape a deeper understanding of modern audio. The creative inspiration itself, however, comes from within: from lived experience, personal dedication and a constant search for honest expression.

Musically, Echoes of Light blends progressive metal, atmospheric rock, and cinematic soundscapes, creating tracks that feel intimate, emotional, and expansive. Every composition carries a fragment of a story — a moment of truth captured in sound.

Echoes of Light exists where emotion, technique, and storytelling meet.
Here, every track means something.
Here, every sound has a past.
And every listen is a connection.

Knee Deep In Custard is a music and visual performance duo blending live vocals, piano, bass, and electronic compositions usually with projected visuals (this is dependent on the space). Their signature approach features projections on a thin screen in front of them, performing behind the screen where they are almost invisible.

They walk around with pebbles in their shoes and grins on their faces. Hmmm... let’s say we sound like the memories of our past, a funny walk or tears falling on the piano.
