No Direction 05:15
No Direction (Desperation) I’m looking for! I’m waiting for! I’m fighting! No more! What is right? What is life? What is mine? I’m blind! No direction! Where can I find it? No connection! The expectation is the root of all heartache! I’m screaming! I’m crying! I’m falling! Save me! No direction! Where can I find it? No connection! The expectation is the root of all heartache!

The King of Nothing Dreams are faded My feet sink into the mud In my mind the darkness Nothing else to say Where is the Northern Star? I lost my way There are only tears May this torment end! Rit.: A silent scream I am the King of Nothing My mind is bleeding I am the King of Nothing I can’t hide from myself I can’t escape Sadness embrace all To bring me into oblivion Every hope is lost And still I pray My soul is dried up Please take me away Rit.: A silent scream I am the King of Nothing My mind is bleeding I am the King of Nothing

Single Frame 04:42
Single Frame Holding a star In my hand I try to be ready For the end I feel like I’m walking on sand Where are you Hope, My friend? I need new blood in my veins! Rit.: I don’t know if I’ll be back Or if life Is a single frame Walking in the rain Dreaming of a dream That is always the same Let it wash away the pain I’m not ashamed Something I built I have atoned For my guilt I need new blood in my veins! Rit.: I don’t know if I’ll be back Or if life Is a single frame

Make Your Bed and Lie in It It’s useless to flee I’ll get you You cannot escape Your destiny You can’t hide I’ll find you There is no shadow In which I will not see you It’s late to repent Make Your Bed And lie in it You thought it was a nightmare Instead you are awake What is done is done You made a mistake It’s late to repent Make Your Bed And lie in it
5.
Into the Unknown I am awake I'm running free And finally I know my dream The journey begins Now it's too late To come back This is my fate Deep in the space... There is no return For the human race My fire burns I'm lost forever I'm like a flash Into the unknown This is my match I am awake I'm running free And finally I know my dream The journey begins Now it's too late To come back This is my fate Deep in the space There is no return For the human race My fire burns I'm lost forever I'm like a flash Into the unknown This is my match I'm lost forever I'm like a flash Into the unknown This is my end

A Light Breeze A light breath of wind Is what you are A light and gentle breeze That caresses my soul You appeared one evening A light breeze, a soft touch Without me realizing it I got lost in your exciting scent You whispered words to me That I had never heard You embraced my heart Like no one had never done Rit.: A light breath of wind Is what you are A light and gentle breeze That caresses my soul You took root in me I get lost in your delicious gaze I perceive your scent That slides into my soul You appeared one evening A light and gentle breeze That caressed my heart And you never left my soul again Rit.: A light breath of wind Is what you are A light and gentle breeze That caresses my soul A light breath of wind Is what you are Wrap me in the veil of dream again
7.
Sacred Freedom They want To stop me thinking They want my voice To be soundless With their lies They try to scare me It is a subtle deception To make me blind Rit.: My eyes see My voice is strong I will fight For sacred freedom My mind works My mind thinks I will fight For sacred freedom Always new deceptions But I will not bite I will resist Their subtle oppression Rit.: My eyes see My voice is strong I will fight For sacred freedom My mind works My mind thinks I will fight For sacred freedom
8.
The Sense of Existence During the night I watch you sleep Your breath wraps me In a quiet unknown to me You drive out the demons of time that passes Help me to understand Why does the darkness revolve Around the screaming faces That live in my mind In your sky a place for me You come from eternity You illuminate with your light My face obscured by sadness I go ahead and build my days Days spent fighting With screaming faces That bit my soul I look for you over time And I will live you forever Only sense of existence Sense of my existence
9.
Road To Paradise There is someone Who lives very well Spreading deception and selling himself! Child exploitation, Rape, homicide It's not the road to Paradise! If you kill You are ringing the bell It is the road straight to hell! Rit.: It's not the road, It' not the road to Paradise It's not the road, It' not the road to Paradise Bloodshed, war Ethnic cleansing Can you hear? The Devil is singing! Sometimes religions It is your disguise Your promises of a new life! Rit.: It's not the road, It' not the road to Paradise It's not the road, It' not the road to Paradise Road to Paradise Road to Paradise
10.
A Strange Light In Your Eyes Observing the world in these years From the pleasant cradle in which we live Many things I imagined But Fate is always ready to amaze me Suddenly we understand That nobody is really safe We too, beloved by chance, Are at the mercy of Mother Nature Rit.: A strange light in your eyes It’s the reflection of disbelief A new light in my eyes It’s a new reality In our privileged life we believed Ourselves safe from the consequences But Nature has shown us That there are no differences Nature knows no boundaries The earth is a single entity We cannot issue orders to it This is the only reality Rit.: A strange light in your eyes It’s the reflection of disbelief A new light in my eyes It’s a new reality

Stars 05:19
Stars I walk the path of life And I know My destination I will be a star That will light up The sky forever You walk the path of life And you know Your destination You will be a star That will light up The sky forever Rit.: Let's walk together I will call your name And you will call mine The road is the same The same destination You and I We will be dancing stars Together in the sky I will call your name You will call mine Rit.: Let's walk together I will call your name And you will call mine The road is the same

about

"KING OF NOTHING" ideally continues CROHM's previous works in content. In fact, it moves into the territories of the soul, touching its most hidden corners, sometimes with a very intimate story, other times with a more collective narrative of the human soul. A dark journey through man's 'evil of living' and society's contradictions, tempered by moments of perceived joy and the desire not to give up hope.
In terms of musical style, the album traverses many territories, from Heavy Metal to Thrash, touching on Progressive, sometimes winking at Hard Rock, thus triggering a reshuffling of the cards that makes CROHM's music peculiar, transversal to defined genres, emphasising each time the sense of the soul's tale with an appropriate atmosphere.
As with their previous work 'Failure in the System' from 2020, the recording and editing of 'King of Nothing' took place in an essentially 'live' mode in order to keep the overall sound real and warm, preferring it to perhaps more precise, but sometimes cold or artificial solutions.
