The Monolith Deathcult
Vanuit het Overijsselse Kampen komt het bericht dat de opnames gestart zijn voor het nieuwe album van The Monolith Deathcult. De band zal zich bezig houden met het vierde full-length album "Tetragrammaton", als opvolger van het goed ontvangen album "Trivmvirate". Inmiddels heeft de line-up enige wijzigingen ondergaan, maar de band laat weten dat synthmeister Carsten Altena weer fulltime tot de band is toegetreden. Het plan is om het nieuwe album de eerste helft van 2013 uit te brengen.
"Last month, The Monolith Deathcult have entered the studio to record their fourth full-length album "Tetragrammaton", the successor to the immensely popular "Trivmvirate". Since 2008 - when we redefined art, music and human civilisation - we've been milking "Trivmvirate" until it's cheese, so we decided to make a new album and see if we can milk that even further. Song titles set to appear on the new album include "Human Wave Attack", "Drugs, Thugs & Machetes", "Todesnacht von Stammheim", "Quasr Al-Nihaya" and "Aslimu!!! - All Slain Those Who Brought Down Our Highly Respected Symbols To The Lower Status Of The Barren Earth". The overall lyrical theme will be roughly the same as on “Trivmvirate” and “The White Crematorium” (2005); but then again, who cares about lyrical themes in Death Metal? Also, hailing back from an unsurprisingly failed attempt to make 'proper grown-up music', synthmeister Carsten Altena has sheepishly returned to the Deathcult flock as a full band member and will contribute much wailing and gnashing of teeth both on “Tetragrammaton” and live on-stage."
