Atmospheric Death Metal - Netherlands

Monolith Deathcult, The Band

THE MONOLITH DEATHCULT strike again! Their new EP ‘Bloodcvlts’ is a brutal demonstration of extreme technical prowess, crushing songwriting, and a sublime dose of the Dutchmen’s reckless humour. The band remains true to their close embrace of deadly 90’s influences with hints of CANNIBAL CORPSE, DEATH, NILE, NAPALM DEATH, ASPHYX, and BEHEMOTH shining through these meat-grinding songs. As usual THE MONOLITH DEATHCULT refuse to shy away from lyrical topics dealing with war, terrorism, historical events, and even the controversial issue of religion. No quarter can be expected, no mercy is given. The band was founded in Kampen, The Netherlands in 2002. Their debut album ‘The Apotheosis’ appeared a year later and immediately created a buzz. THE MONOLITH DEATHCULT followed up with the much applauded full-length ‘The White Crematorium’ (2005) and their acclaimed third effort ‘Triumvirate’ (2008) brought the final international breakthrough. The Dutch fuelled the rising interest by a reissue of ‘The White Crematorium 2.0’ in 2013. After joining forces with Season of Mist, THE MONOLITH DEATHCULT delivered the mighty assault of ‘TETRAGRAMMATON’ that same year. This album convinced critics and fans alike by delivering destruction with punishing riffs, vicious drum slaughter, and ridiculously brutal vocals. Following up on this success and helping to shorten the waiting time until their highly anticipated next full-length, the band now release ‘Bloodcvlts’. Put on your steel helmet and prepare for an ultra-heavy barrage…

Line-up:

  • Robin Kok : Bass & vox and howling insanity
  • Michiel Dekker : Guitars & vox and supreme inanity
  • Carsten Altena : Guitars & Stalin organ, mammoth orchestral stabs & fiddling vanity

This band is no longer active on Season of Mist.
