EPSILON AURIGAE

by MONOLITHE

supported by

Jordan Vauvert Après la saga Monolithe en quatre chapitres, le groupe français fait naître Epsilon Aurigae et passe sur un format différent. Trois morceaux de funeral doom metal spatial avec un certain goût pour la symphonie — au synthé, certes, mais entre les chœurs sur "Synoecist" cuivres et les violons de "Everlasting Sentry"... La voix de Richard Loudin se fait plus incarnée. Une règle très stricte mise en place (chaque piste dure 15 minutes tout pile) qui amplifie la créativité du groupe. Grandiose ! Favorite track: Everlasting Sentry.

Poesy Rider Monolithe, c'est l'assurance d'avoir entre les oreilles un metal aussi lourd que cosmique. Depuis leurs débuts, le groupe n'a pas faibli et propose avec ce Epsilon aurigae l'une leurs pièces maîtresses. Un véritable trou noir dans la galaxie metal ! Favorite track: Everlasting Sentry.

    After an incredible and unique cycle of 4 outstanding albums that have deeply marked the history of Doom Metal, MONOLITHE open a fascinating new chapter in their story with a surprising and phenomenal new offering.

    Surprising, because the absolute singularity of MONOLITHE's artistic genius is celebrated this time through an amazing Progressive Dark Metal approach. This fantastic project is perpetually evolving, and they have demonstrated once again an insatiable need to discover new sonic horizons.

    And phenomenal, because with this new album the band follow in the mystical footsteps of the great musical explorers of the '70s, showing a fabulous and exciting sense of composition. Even if their specific touch is immediately recognizable, the three monumental pieces developed here are powerfully affecting and channel the purity of deep emotions at the heart of the sound.

Gather it all in my realm Existence belongs to me All matter under my wings Spirit contained in aegis Invisible, extensible Ruthless thirst for obedience Locked under my will I am what needs to be Assemble, organize Guardian of entropy Everything must be one again Fusion of all that is Capture of the slightest light Absorbing the depths Brutal compliance of substantiality Rallying cosmos behind my flag Congregate, assimilate Full convergence to a single point Seized in my cosmic collection Functional to accumulate Aggregate, associate Thick conglomerate of reality Abiding my routine to amass Unrelenting disposal of multiplicity

Signal from the binary system Eclipsing black rectangle Gigantic mass of dark matter An answer was provided No record of settled colonies So eager to find companionship Or in search of Prometheus Defying the bounds of space and time Anchored in faith and arrogance In such a distant place Sentinel on guard duty Only evidence Condemned to solitude No witness to tell where they are No traces but monoliths So eager to find companionship Or in search of Prometheus Defying the bounds of space and time Anchored in faith and arrogance In such a distant place Sentinel on guard duty Signal from the dual system Eclipsing dark rectangle Gigantic mass of black substance An answer at disposal Without traces, just monoliths
