Some news about “Monolithe III” (release date, teaser, …) to come soon…
Cool “Interlude Second” review & a debate about the genre the record does or doesn’t belong to. Fucking FRONE METAL??? Sounds good to me:)

MONOLITHE will start recording its new album “Monolithe III” on March 2012, 10th.
The first step is the recording of all guitars and bass.
A release date has not been scheduled yet for this new album but a late 2012/early 2013 release could be expected.

Now some disambiguation about “Interlude Second” & “Monolithe III”
Shortly after the release of “Interlude Premier EP” back in 2007, the band started to work on a new full-length album that was supposed to become “Monolithe III”. This album was also supposed to be released in 2008 via Appease Me…/Candlelight Records.
For many reasons (including problems unsolved with Candlelight, mixing troubles, …) the album did not got completed and released. The album had a cover artwork ready and exposed via Internet (which won’t be used).
In 2011, MONOLITHE decided to re-use & complete what has been recorded for the unfinished “Monolithe III’ album and release it as a new EP. That’s how it became 2012’s “Interlude Second”, consisting in the tracks “Harmony Of Null Matter” - Section 1 & 2.
These things said, it becomes obvious that next MONOLITHE album “Monolithe III” is a brand new composition and not what has been announced in 2008.
Whereas both EPs lean toward experimentation, M3 is a continuation of what has been done with the “Monolithe I” and “Monolithe II” albums.
