The Monolith Deathcult/the White Crematorium/Twilight-Vertrieb Records/2010 CD Review


The  Monolith  Deathcult  are  a  band  from  the  Netherlands  that  plays  a  very  brutal form  of  death/doom  metal  with  atmospheric  and  symphonic  elements  and  this  is  a  review  of  their  2010  album "the  White  Crematorium  2.0"  which  was  released  by  Twilight-Vertrieb  Records.

Drums  range from  slow, midpaced  to  fast  drumming  with  alot  of  brutal  blast  beats  mixed  in  with  some  synth  elements  that  bring  an  atmospheric/industrial  edge  to  the  music  mixed  in  with  alot  of  samples  while  the  bass  playing  sounds  very  very  powerful  and  heavy  with  riffs  that  range  from  slow  to  fast.

Rhythm  guitars  cover  alot  of  variety  in  the  brutal  death  metal  field  with  a  good  mixture  of  slow, midpaced  and  fast  riffing  that  contains  a  good  amount  of  melody  while  the  lead  guitars  are  atmospheric  and  melodic  sounding  death  metal  guitar  solos  with  a  great  ammount  of  brutality.

Vocals  are  mostly  deep  death  metal  growls  with  some  high  pitched  screams  that  have  a  slight  black  metal  edge  to  them,  while  the  lyrics cover  Nazi's, World  War  II,  Egyptian, Middle  Eastern  and  Summerian  Occultism  with  a  strong  hatred  for Catholism  and  Christianity,  as  for  the  production  it  sounds  very  professional  and  heavy  that  gives  all  of  the  musical  instruments  a  very  brutal  sound.

In  my  opinion  The  Monolith  Deathcult  are  a  very  original  sounding  brutal  death  metal  band  that  has  some very  good, heavy  and  powerful  songs  and  if  you  are  a  fan  of  this  genre  and  looking  for  something  original  you  should  check  out  this  band.  RECOMMENDED  TRACKS  INCLUDE  "Army  Of  The  Despised"  "Concrete  Sarcophagus"  "The Cruel  Hunters"  and  "The  White  Crematorium.  RECOMMENDED  BUY.
