Źrenice is a new project formed by musicians from various backgrounds, debuting on the scene. Their music is a result of a multi-genre fusion: alt and post-rock, post-metal, black and sludge, as well as stoner and folk. The common denominator of their tracks is a fairytale atmosphere that also permeates the lyrics.

Źrenice (eng. eye pupils) – gateways between the inner and outer worlds through which light permeates. They watch over how much brightness and shadow is needed to maintain balance.

The album »Śnienie« marks the group’s debut. Its primary unifying motif is the symbolism of the forest, which remains prominent without imposing a rigid concept. The material is bookended by the tracks »Brama lasu…« and »…lasu skraj«, where the sound of footsteps is intended to lead the listener into a state of isolation from the outside world. This sonic journey offers the audience complete freedom to interpret their surroundings – the forest serves merely as a starting point for Śnienie, from which one must eventually awaken.

The lyrical layer of the album »Śnienie«, despite references to a fairy-tale aesthetic, focuses primarily on the human experience and interpersonal relationships.

The album was recorded at Studio Roslyn with engineer Krzysztof Godycki, while mixing and mastering were handled by Haldor Grunberg (Satanic Audio), known for his work with artists such as Behemoth, Dopelord, Me And That Man, Belzebong, Zamilska, and Azarath.
