"Dreams can encompass a variety of moods and therefore LAKE OF DREAMS an acoustic doom fantasy project captures those moods to bring you energy through music to flow through the realms of darkness, romance, healing and beauty".
A solo endeavor featuring her debut self-titled EP, Lake of Dreams was established by Karina Sher, also the singer of the band Mindlapse. She envisioned a project that would intertwine concept albums, literature, and film. Guided by her admiration for Tolkien, Karina aspired to craft a dark romantic fantasy experience.
Karina Sher's musical journey began in 1994 with the band Neutral Shade, followed by her tenure with Mindlapse in 1996, during which she secured a record deal with HTT Records which she later decided to release via Ragebreed. She took a decisive step towards Lake Of Dreams, a personal project focused on acoustic compositions infused with gothic, doom, dark folk, and progressive elements. Her influences range from bands like The Gathering, Southern Isolation, Trees Of Eternity, Lacuna Coil, Opeth (especially the Damnation album), My Dying Bride, Faun, Dead Can Dance, The Moon & The Nightspirit, Hammock, Anathema, and Antimatter, alongside a myriad of film soundtracks and literary inspirations that shaped her musical narratives.
The theme revolves around an ancient druid witch who employs her magic to heal a high-ranking soldier of war, whose duty is to eliminate witches and druids. Their love is a forbidden one, filled with tension, as they are forced to repeatedly part ways, knowing that discovery of their relationship would lead to their execution—druids despised the authorities, while the authorities loathed witches and druids, often resorting to drowning them. Despite the imminent dangers, they were willing to risk everything to be together; in each other’s company, they found joy, but when separated, they spiraled into despair. The soldier grappled with the threat to his life, just as she did, leading to moments of doubt about their love, especially when he attempted to leave her. Nevertheless, their bond proved too powerful to sever. Ultimately, they faced a monumental decision. The first EP captures the initial chapter of this gripping tale. Will they overcome the challenges and stay together?"
