history
Stijn van Cauter initiated Inframonolithium in 2017 as a different solo project. The project is one of various side projects to van Cauter's main band Until Death Overtakes Me . The releases of the project, the demo demo I: Laments 2017 and the album Mysterium 2018, were initially released without a label. Van Cauter presented the music via Bandcamp and its homepage for free download . The album The Lightless , released in 2019, was released in cooperation with Endless Winter .
concept
In terms of content, according to the press releases from Endless Winter, van Cauter is following a philosophy-based concept with Inframonolithium, within the framework of a fantastic scenario. Critics criticized the fact that no classifying statements can be found in the lyrics or the album design.
style
Van Cauter describes the music of Inframonolithium as raw funeral death doom. In a description by the label Weird Truth , the music is described as a typical variant of the Funeral Doom played by van Cauter. It is "as always [...] extremely slow and majestic." The music is perceived as extremely slow and reduced, close to the original form of Funeral Doom. A “withdrawn, slow rhythm, equally slow and reduced deep guitar playing as well as space-filling repetitive synthesizer melodies made up of a few notes, constantly repeating notes.” The incomprehensible guttural growling is also in the background and is “so slow that six or seven lines for one ten-minute song suffice. "
