Behold! the Monolith Announce From the Fathomess DeepOut July 15
Preorders up, song streaming, art and tracks and info revealed — looks like it’s an album release. Indeed, the exclamatory Los Angeles genresmashers Behold! the Monolith will issue their upcoming full-length, From the Fathomless Deep, on July 15 through Ripple Music. It’s the band’s first album since 2015’s Architects of the Void (review here), for which they toured Europe and played Roadburn and so on. The awaited offering is led into by the nine-minute opening track and first single “Crown/The Immeasurable Void” and I’m just willing to believe that said void is the same one they built on the last record. Certainly there are new horrors to unfold there as well.
I don’t know about you, but that monolith in the artwork looks an awful lot like an obelisk to me…
The PR wire has particulars for the album, and since that lumbering, rumbling, sinister groove on the single is hitting the spot right this second, I’m only looking forward to more.
Have at you:
Los Angeles blackened doom unit BEHOLD! THE MONOLITH to release new album ‘From The Fathomless Deep’ on Ripple Music; stream first track now!
Los Angeles blackened doom and sludge giants BEHOLD! THE MONOLITH sign to Ripple Music for the release of their fourth full-length ‘From The Fathomless Deep’ on July 15th. They unveil its stunning album art as well as a crushing first single entitled “Crown/The Immeasurable Void” right now.
Fresh off the recent endorsement of guitarist Matt Price on Orange Amps, the L.A. doom veterans return stronger and heavier than ever with their first new studio album in seven years. “From The Fathomless Deep” is BEHOLD! THE MONOLITH’s darkest and most menacing record yet, an album that stares fearlessly into the shadows. The fist-pumping bounce from Defender/Redeemist’s “We Are the Worm” is replaced with twisting and ghostly maneuvering on “Spirit Taker,” and Price’s solos clasp at heights unseen on “Psychlopean Dread” and the titanic typhoon that is “Stormbreaker Suite.”
Stream new single “Crown/The Immeasurable Void”
The BEHOLD! THE MONOLITH is not the same band we knew all those years ago: grizzlier, rougher-hewn and more technically visceral than they’ve ever been. A welcome reward for their decade-old following, and an ear-splitting surprise for those unbaptized.’From The Fathomless Deep’ will be released in various vinyl formats, CD and digital on July 15th, 2022 through Ripple Music. Its artwork was created by revered heavy metal and horror artist Dusty Peterson.
