1. For those that have never heard of you before, can you tell us a little bit about the solo project?
Kudex Thaldoma is a project I founded in 2022 in a city on the shores of the Caspian Sea. My music is dedicated to spreading the Will of the Dark Deities. Everyone is free to understand those words in their own way. I've never tried to make this project look like something it isn't. What matters to me is that this music is honest—it reflects my own perspective and my personal experience.
2. In March you released your first full-length. Can you tell us a little bit more about the musical style that you went for on the recording?
I don't think Kudex Thaldoma can be defined by a single genre. If you try to put it into one category, you lose part of what it really is. Everyone experiences this music differently. Musically, I would call it black metal because that's the only genre where the spiritual aspect comes first for me. But the project isn't limited to black metal alone. It grew from it, but became something more.
3. A lot of your lyrics cover Occult and Left-Hand Path themes. Can you tell us a little bit more about your interest in the Dark Arts?
Yes, my work is based on the Left-Hand Path. Like any practitioner, I have my own Gnosis and my own understanding of these things. But what unites us is the Will of the Dark Deities. Everyone gives it different names and explains it in different ways, but it can't truly be described. We can only approach it and understand a small part of it. My interest in the Dark Arts began in early childhood because they were genuinely practiced in my family.
4. I know that the band's name means "Dark Water" in Russian. How does this name fit in with the musical style that you play?
I won't go too deeply into terminology—those who understand will know what I mean. To me, the Dark Waters represent a connection to Chaos and its manifestation through my work. Darkness is Chaos, while Water is the element of our world—the substance from which all living things are made. Through knowledge, I wanted to show the connection between Chaos and our existence, as a way of returning to the roots.
5. Can you tell us a little bit more about the artwork that is presented on the new album cover?
This artwork was created through Gnosis and several months of dedicated work. It contains many hidden details and layers of meaning that reveal themselves over time. At the center is an Eye containing a Chaos Star. To me, it represents a gaze beyond the cosmos, Primordial Chaos, Darkness, and Awakened Consciousness. The Eye is placed within a Blade, symbolizing the aspects of Chaos that manifest in our reality. The rest is for people to discover on their own.
6. With this project you record everything by yourself. Are you open to working with other musicians, or do you prefer to work solo?
Yes, I'm open to working with other musicians. However, Kudex Thaldoma is primarily built around my personal Gnosis. I also have another black metal project called Aathiel, which I founded together with another member. It will begin its activity in the near future.
7. Currently you are unsigned. Are you looking for a label, or have you received any interest?
I've received offers before, but none of them felt like the right fit. Working with a label would help bring both my music and its ideas to more people. Since the ideological side of this project is my main priority, I'm always open to new proposals. At the moment, a release of Krhhe El Var Satan is planned through a Russian black metal label. But in the end, that's simply one more way Darkness spreads.
8. On a worldwide level, how has the reaction been to your music by fans of black metal?
I believe most people understood the message I wanted to convey.
9. Do you have any experience playing in other bands or musical projects?
Yes. As I mentioned before, I'm also a member of Aathiel.
10. Where do you see yourself heading as a musician in the future?
Simply put—continued growth and spreading the message.
11. What are some of the bands or musical styles that have had an influence on your music, and what are you listening to nowadays?
Pseudogod has been a major influence on me, along with the bands released through Norma Evangelium Diaboli.
12. Before we wrap up this interview, do you have any final words or thoughts?
Look deeper, and don't take the words only at face value. Kudex Thaldoma isn't meant to appear grim or provoke pointless controversy. The purpose and the message are something entirely different.
