The Monolith Deathcult is a Dutch death and industrial metal band from Kampen , which was founded in 2002 under the name Monolith .

history

The band was founded in 2002 by guitarists Michiel Dekker and Martijn Moes, bassist and singer Robin Kok and drummer Sjoerd Visch under the name Monolith. Under this name, the band released their debut album The Apotheosis in 2003 , although the group was also known as The Monolith Deathcult. In 2005 the second album The White Crematorium followed, whereupon keyboardist Carsten Altena could be heard as a new member. After the album Trivmvirate was released in 2008 , the album The White Crematorium was released in 2010 as a new edition under the name The White Crematorium 2.0 via Twilight Vertrieb . Then guitarist Moes left the band and was replaced by Ivo Hilgenkamp in 2011, before the next album Tetragrammaton followed in mid-May 2013 .

style

The band played aggressive and technically demanding Death Metal on their debut album The Apotheosis , comparable to groups like Nile and Deicide . On the second album The White Crematorium , the band played in a comparable style, reminiscent of the old works of Paradise Lost , as well as Nile and Deicide again, whereby The Monolith Deathcult was less experimental. The most important innovation on the album was the use of a keyboard. On the third album Trivmvirate , the band changed their style and slowed down the speed of the songs, while the influences from industrial metal were processed more. Also on the album Tetragrammaton the band played technically demanding and aggressive death metal, comparable to the works of Nile and Cryptopsy , with strong industrial metal influences.
