Crushing, dark, epic. Architects of the Void is a vicious journey through the wastelands and the wilderness of a cursed and forgotten land. With elements of all good things that are heavy, the new release by Behold! The Monolith is a musical battle hammer shattering the skulls of the weak and feeble.
Continuing in true warrior
fashion, the LA based quartet were forced to regroup after the tragic death of
previous frontman Kevin Mcdade back in 2013. Joined by Jordan Nailey (Vocals)
and Jason (Cass) Casanova (Sasquatch) (Bass) Behold! The Monolith will be
dropping this 7 song album like a ton of bricks on your unsuspecting face
September 29th of 2015.
The album was produced by Billy
Anderson who has also produced such greats as High On Fire, The Melvins and
Neurosis. The artwork was done by Dusty Peterson (Bloodbath, Six Feet Under,
Oceano). The entire album has a great vibe. Very dark and ominous. The vocals
can go from a nice “angry growl” all the way to “blood thirsty Demon” like a
flip of the switch. Lots of interesting cords and compositions. At a few
different points during my listening experience, there were elements that were
reminiscent of some classic bands like Enslaved, High On Fire, Neurosis and
even a little pinch of Iron Maiden.
All together “Architects of the
void” signals the triumphant return of these Iron clad warriors. Pre-order your
