THE MONOLITH DEATHCULT Working On New Material - Nov. 4, 2010





Guitarist/vocalist Michiel Dekker of Dutch extreme metallers THE MONOLITH DEATHCULT has issued the following update:



"At the moment we are working on new tracks for the upcoming album. The new stuff sounds very good (I can say that because I wrote it). It will be in the vein of [2008's] 'Trivmvirate'. That is not a surprise because that album hasn't an overall sound.



"We (I) wrote a track about the writings of Sayid Qubt and I am still doubting between two possible songtitles: 1. 'Aslimu!' 2. 'Those Who Have Brought Down Our Highly Respected Symbols To The Lower Status Of The Barren Earth'."



THE MONOLITH DEATHCULT's reworked version of the band's 2005 album "The White Crematorium", dubbed "The White Crematorium 2.0 - The Revenge of the Failed", was released in Europe on February 19, 2010 through Twilight-Vertrieb and in the United States shortly thereafter via Epitomite Productions.



"Master Of The Bryansk Forest", the latest video from THE MONOLITH DEATHCULT, can be viewed below. The performance footage for the clip was shot at the 2008 edition of the Chaulnes Metal Fest in France by Metaluna Productions.



"Master Of The Bryansk Forest" comes off THE MONOLITH DEATHCULT's previous album, "Triumvirate", which was released in February 2008 via Twilight-Vertrieb. The CD was recorded at Ground Zero studio with producer Pascal Altena. Mixing and mastering duties were handled by Guido Aalbers.

:::::: Just about to leave for MDC at the platform theater

these guys are pretty underrated in the dutch metal scene.

They are mostly seen as a clone of Nile.



I respect the fact that they write anti-Islamic songstexts instead about the traditional, but overly-known satanic/anti-christian topics.

I never understood this comparison.

When Michiel and Co. first started out they were heavyly influnced by them. Most notable on the demo. In fact they somehow got Karl from Nile to sign a written statement (without realizing it) saying they were the official Nile clone

The later material has more of its own identity. But live they still have similarities.



When they opened for Nile a while back in Den Hague they started with the outro of Black seeds of vengeance

Just to hammer the point home hehehe.

I got a shirt

Hehe funny and you're almost right: Karl DID know what he signed:

And this is the illustrious paper:

Michiel told me he did not really comprehend it initially. But whatever, it is still quite funny.

That is one awesome shirt Ninny!

How was the show?

Very small audience, best metal I´ve seen this year. Strange how they got the timing of the little samples just right

when bands use samples, they either give the drummer a click on his headphones, or their front of house mixer queues the samples.
