MONUMENT OF MISANTHROPY To Release New Album Aug 9 2024

Monument of Misanthropy are at it again, creating another serial killer-based album (this time it’s Ed Kemper) while streamlining their blend of brutal and technical death metal music.

Brutal death metal titans Monument of Misanthropy return once again with a sickening concept album based on a serial killer, and this time it revolves around Ed Kemper. The band delves into aspects of his life, using violent music to add meaning to it; their visceral and incisive music with highly expressive vocals perfectly capturing the terrifying aura around the figure. They are one of the few bands who have the chops to pull off music of this kind and don’t have to rely on the imagery or sound samples alone. But they haven’t left any stone unturned here to give a wholly scarring experience, from the repulsive and highly detailed album artwork to the shocking and explicit official video that’s been censored for reasons of sanity and normal functioning. Their standards were already high, but they’re raised the bar even higher on this one – the music comprising an expected barrage of blasts and frenetic riffage albeit punctuated for emphasis on groove and structuring, the vocals enunciated for a greater degree of vileness, and the songs coming together and making sense despite a pervading sense of degradation and wanton bloodshed. Fans of the band won’t be disappointed with this in the least, while giving others reasons to check out an accomplished slab of brutal/technical death metal and have a new sense of fear instilled in them.
