NEWS: Monument of Misanthropy return to 1974!

How many guests do you want on an album? Monument of Misanthropy have managed to persuade no less than six individuals to join them over the thirteen tracks of “Washington State Charm“. If you haven’t already heard, the new opus is a wholesome concept album chronicling the coming-of-age story of a serial killer: the awkward upbringing, the early extracurricular activities, and the grand finale on the electric chair, American Ted Bundy. That is set to see the cold light of day in all its brutal Death Metal glory on 26th June via Listenable Records with “The 1974 PNW Spree” now screaming…

The band comment: “We rolled out “The 1974 PNW Spree” as the first single because it picks up right where the last record left off — just meaner, tighter, and way more dialed in. Julius brought this one in, and it’s the perfect showcase of how far we’ve pushed ourselves technically over the years. It’s a high-octane ripper that perfectly mirrors the chaos and intensity of that Ted Bundy 1974 killing spree — like a sonic gut punch that demands your attention, front and center. On top of that, Gabe Mangold from Enterprise Earth throws down an absolutely unhinged but insanely precise solo that takes it over the edge. Don’t sleep on this one!”

Georg Wilfinger comments: ” While we’ve stayed 100% true to ourselves musically which means constantly reinventing ourselves. We’re pretty damn sure you’re going to love this new album. We obsessed over every microscopic detail, whether it’s a hidden arpeggio, a lyrical pun, or just another described act of unspeakable horror and maybe some truths about Ted you might not even have known yet. This isn’t just another death metal record you half-listen to while bench-pressing. It’s an experience. A deep look into a very, very sick human being’s brain.”
