Monovoth are a solo project from Argentina that plays a mixture of post black, doom, death metal, crust, drone and dark ambient elements and this is a review of his self released 2025 album "To Live In The Breath Of Worship" which will be released in February.
Clean playing starts off the album while the synths also being in elements of dark ambient Before going into a heavier direction. The slower sections of the recording are also very heavily rooted in funeral doom metal while all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them and the solos and leads are done in more of a post metal style.
Melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing while drones are also added into certain sections of the album. A great portion of the tracks are also very long and epic in length along with the music also capturing the brutality of death metal at times. Touches of crust are also added into the mid tempo sections of the recording as well as the vocals being done in more of a black metal style when they are introduced, acoustic guitars can also be heard briefly and the closing song also adds in some fast riffing and blast beats..
Monovoth plays a musical style that takes post black, funeral doom, death metal, crust, drone and dark ambient and mixes them together to create a sound of his own as well as sticking to mostly an instrumental direction. The production sounds very dark and heavy while the song themes cover lonely gods in a faithless world.
In my opinion Monovoth is a very great sounding mixture of post black, funeral doom, death metal, crust, drone and dark ambient and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this solo project. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "From A Dying Star" and "To Drown In The Tears Of God". 8 out of 10.
