Monkey3 to Release The 5th Sun this Fall

Posted in Whathaveyou on August 12th, 2013 by JJ Koczan

With more than a decade’s tenure, Swiss heavy psych instrumentalists Monkey3 will return this fall with their new album, The 5th Sun, which — contrary to what the title might lead you to believe — is actually their fourth full-length. Maybe they’re counting the covers EP? Anyway, it’ll also be their first for Spinning Goblin Productions/Napalm Records, and the Lausanne outfit will support it with a couple live dates beforehand, including a slot at the recently announced Up in Smoke festival, where they’ll join Radio Moscow, Colour Haze, Pentagram and a slew of others on Oct. 5 in Pratteln.

Sound of Liberation had this announcement with the album art:

MONKEY 3 – NEW ALBUM “THE 5TH SUN”

MONKEY 3 along with label mates MY SLEEPING KARMA are undoubtedly the most celebrated Psychedelic/Atmospheric Stoner Rock Band on the planet.

The 2011 output “Beyond the Black Sky” was a fantastic release but wait until you hear “The 5th Sun”! With their fourth album, the Swiss band MONKEY 3 presents the definition of psychedelic Stoner Rock, by combining Stoner Rock vibe and riffs with trippy Psychedelic influences and turning these styles into a perfect sound, which will welcome new and old listeners alike!

The sonic world of MONKEY 3 is nothing less than breathtaking, and the new album will bring the band its well deceived recognition!

This album will be available via Napalm/Spinning Goblin Records as LTD First Edition Digipack & Bonus Track + DLP Gatefold Edition with an alternative album cover! Check out the CD cover by John Howard!
