MORK – Monolitt (CD) NEW ALBUM

Description

Set to release on June 19th, 2024, MORKs eight studio album «Monolitt» sees MORK taking the next decisive step in an ever-evolving journey through darkness and introspection. Expanding upon the band’s uncompromising vision, this album stands as both a continuation and a transformation within MORK’s discography.

Heavy. Ominous. Brutal. Epic. Atmospheric.

Each composition is meticulously forged, weaving together oppressive weight and haunting atmosphere into a singular, towering work. MONOLITT is not merely an album, it is an experience carved in stone, unyielding and monumental.

“A stark monument to the unrelenting brutality of reality, the monolith looms above us, immovable, indifferent, eternal. Its crushing presence bears down on the spirit, suffocating hope and testing the limits of endurance. It is an experience carved in stone, unyielding”. – Thomas Eriksen

Norwegian artist Kjell Åge Meland provides the haunting cover art, reprising his collaboration from the previous album «Syv».
