'Lake of Dreams' Lake Of Dreams – A Vision Beyond Sound Created by Karina Sher | Released under Ragebreed Records Lake Of Dreams is more than a concept musical fantasy project—it’s a cinematic journey of emotion, soul, and inner transformation. Founded by Karina Sher, the renowned British-Indian artist behind Ragebreed Records and frontwoman of metal band Mindlapse, Lake Of Dreams is her deeply personal, acoustic-driven side project that transcends genres and mediums. With themes of healing, trauma, love, death, and rebirth, it taps into the vulnerable parts of the human experience—where pain meets purpose, and sound becomes story. The debut EP is available now via Ragebreed’s Big Cartel and digital platforms. New music is currently in development, with the release of single “Hold Me”, part of the upcoming full-length album set for 2025 released through Ragebreed Records and distributed by Earache Worldwide Digital Distribution. The Film Project: Currently in development, Lake Of Dreams is being adapted into a feature-length film, written by Karina Sher herself. This cinematic piece will weave music, spoken word, dreamlike visuals, and symbolic storytelling into a spiritual odyssey of self-discovery, mental health, survival, and resurrection. The script is currently being written. The fantasy project is about a druidess that falls in love with a soldier that is meant to kill her kind only they meet in a lake so they assume they both are safe until the truth is revealed. A forbidden romance, truth that challenges logic and heart, will love overcome? The druidess needs answers and seeks out a Sage to give her advice. There are three outcomes, she must choose. If they get together now, if they separate or if she learns to defend herself against evil. In the meantime the soldier faces temptation but will she choose his druidess who he loves or decide to cheat with the King's daughter and continue the life he had before? The people he trusts are they trustworthy? A film full of magic, love, danger, horror, chaos, temptation, loss, grief, war, passion, fantasy and healing.

The air in the studio Today carries a different kind of electricity. It’s not just the static of high-gain amplifiers or the hum of the transmitter cooling fans; it’s the lingering resonance of metal royalty. It is Wednesday on Doc Rock's Metal Shop 101 Radio , and Today, Doc Rock’s Metal Shop 101 serves as the throne room for a retrospective on a powerhouse who has redefined what it means to be a DIY titan in the heavy music world. 

The Reign of the Queen of Ragebreed. To call Karina Sher a vocalist is like calling a hurricane "windy." She is a multi-dimensional force of nature, standing at the intersection of brutal honesty and ethereal atmosphere. As the frontwoman for Mindlapse, she has pioneered a brand of melodic death metal that doesn't just assault the senses—it demands respect. Since 1996, Mindlapse has been the hammer, sharing stages with icons like Napalm Death and proving that longevity in this industry is built on grit and evolution.

But a queen must also have her shadows. Through Lake of Dreams, Karina explores "acoustic doom," a hauntingly beautiful departure that reveals the vulnerability beneath the armor. It is this duality—the roar of the warrior and the whisper of the poet—that makes her one of the most compelling figures in metal today.

She has also promoted Lake Of Dreams via her Coffee & Metal Brand.

"Please be informed that earlier this year, Richard Chappell was part of the band. Unfortunately, he is currently dealing with a hand condition that prevents him from performing on stage or in the studio with Lake Of Dreams. His health is our top priority. As a result, John Mitchell has stepped in to play the instruments and will be collaborating with me on the recording of the singles and album. We anticipate that the material will be fully film-ready for both Lake Of Dreams and Mindlapse's singles and albums by the end of the year. All upcoming releases will be distributed through Ragebreed Records and Earache Digital Distribution." - Karina Sher
