Monolithe I (CD - Hammerheart Records edition - 2025)

DIGIPACK CD

Monolithe’s debut album “I” remastered re-issue! Ships early July 2025, on a limited edition (of 200 copies) on transparent red vinyl.

One epic track of uncompromising cosmic Doom Metal! First time on vinyl.
A towering monument to sorrow and grandeur,

Monolithe’s debut album “Monolithe I” remains one of the most devastating journeys through Cosmic Doom Metal ever recorded.

Bitter, soul-crushing, and heartbreakingly beautiful, the album traps the listener in a world of mournful splendor; where pain and awe walk hand-in-hand.

Each note bleeds with intent: from the colossal, multi-layered guitar work, three guitars forging an immense wall of despair, to the somber, atmospheric keys that deepen the abyss.

The programmed drums drive the massive compositions forward with a solemn, relentless pulse, while Richard Loudin (Despond) delivers a vocal performance that is nothing short of a funeral sermon... shifting between cavernous growls and sorrowful narration. “Monolithe I” isn’t just an album; it’s an immersive experience in monolithic, soul consuming doom.
