Birth Of The Monolith are a band from Siberia, Russia that plays a mixture of post black and sludge metal and this is a review of their self released 2018 ep "Cult".
A very dark and heavy sound starts off the ep along with all of the musical instruments also having a very powerful sound to them. Vocals are mostly black emtal screams while the music is also very heavily rooted in post metal along with some touches of screamo also being utilized at times.
Elements of sludge and doom metal can also be heard in the slower sections of the songs while the riffs also add in a decent amount of melody. Clean playing can also be heard in certain sections of the recording along with the faster sections of the songs also adding in a small amount of blast beats and when guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style.
Birth Of The Monolith plays a musical style that takes post black and sludge metal and mixes them together to create a sound of their own. The production sounds very professional for being a self released recording while the lyrics cover Occultism, Rituals and Darkness themes.
In my opinion Birth Of The Monolith are a very great sounding mixture of post black and sludge metal and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Ritual". 8 out of 10.
