Paris, France based Doom Metal outfit Monolithe is back with their ninth full-length album, “Kosmodrom,” which was just released on November 25th, 2022 via Time Tombs Production. Stream the whole album through the band’s official YouTube channel below:
“Kosmodrom,” Monolithe‘s 9th full-length album, tells the tale of intrepid pioneers, explorers, discoverers and the dangers and sacrifices inherent to their leap into the unknown, through the metaphor of real historical events related to the space conquest on the Soviet side.
Some famous figures such as Vladimir Komarov, Alexei Leonov or the dog Laïka can be encountered at the turn of a song or a text line.
“KOSMODROM”Kosmodrom” is musically a compendium of the know-how accumulated by the band over its more than two decades of existence, through a racy and futuristic Doom Metal, crossed with progressive touches and sprinkled with new influences.
After more than twenty years of existence, eight studio albums, a live album, and two mini-albums, the longevity and now respectable discography of Monolithe are the first witnesses of the intense activity of this band that has become a veteran of the international underground Doom Metal scene.
