NEWS: Monachopsis like to write a letter or two?

Ever wondered what the first song your favorite band ever played together was? Leicester Technical Melodic Death Metal act Monachopsis have answered that question with a cover of “Love as a Weapon” by Darkest Hour which features on their upcoming EP “The Carcass Choir“, a record which finds them celebrating a decade together. Mixed and mastered by Nik Palivos at Haunting Studios (Elysian, Rohan, Eonian) and adorned by artwork from Mohammed Hoirul (Flesh Remains) that will see the cold light of date on 21st November with “Letters From The Doomsday Vault” now released as the second single. Pre-orders are available over at bandcamp

Guitarist Richard Allsopp comments: “There’s a massive facility on the remote island of Svalbard that preserves seeds from all around the world in gene banks to provide security for the world’s food supply in case of war, disease, natural disaster or apocalyptic hellfire, hence the nickname ‘The Doomsday Vault’. I find the whole concept of being stashed away from the rest of humanity with the potential to outlive the apocalypse fascinating and eerie. One day the image of a security guard at the facility writing postcards home to his family popped into my head and the lyrics for this track are what came out of that particular venture.”
