Monolithe’s debut album remastered re-issue! One epic track of uncompromising cosmic doom metal!

A towering monument to sorrow and grandeur, Monolithe’s debut album »Monolithe I« remains one of the most devastating journeys through Cosmic Doom Metal ever recorded. Bitter, soul-crushing, and heartbreakingly beautiful, the album traps the listener in a world of mournful splendor; where pain and awe walk hand-in-hand. Each note bleeds with intent: from the colossal, multi-layered guitar work, three guitars forging an immense wall of despair, to the somber, atmospheric keys that deepen the abyss. The programmed drums drive the massive compositions forward with a solemn, relentless pulse, while Richard Loudin (Despond) delivers a vocal performance that is nothing short of a funeral sermon… shifting between cavernous growls and sorrowful narration. »Monolithe I« isn’t just an album; it’s an immersive experience in monolithic, soul-consuming doom.
