SUPREME AVANT-GARDE DEATH METAL, THE MONOLITH DEATHCULT SET TO RELEASE AWESOME NEW EP “BLOODKVLTS” ON 3/23 FROM SEASON OF MIST!!
オランダの最高にアヴァンギャルドなデスメタルバンドが帰ってきます！！THE MONOLITH DEATHCULT。このバンド完全にイカレています。アー写でバットやらチャカやら構えて殺しにきている時点で完全にイカレている訳ですが音楽も完全にイカレています。基本は NILE のような中東、エジプトのオリエンタルな要素を取り入れたブルータルなデスメタル。ただシンフォニックだったりエレクトロニカの要素をなぜかふんだんに取り入れ訳の分からない前衛的なものを作り出しています。訳の分からない前衛的なものですがフックが多くて聴きやすい、リピートしたくなるという所がニクイですね。前作 “TETRAGRAMMATION” は変態音楽史上に残る傑作なのでぜひ聴いて頂きたいところ。そんな彼らですが3/23に新EPをリリースします。タイトルは “BLOODKVLTS”。今回はそこから新曲 “REIGN OF HELL” を世界初公開！！彼らのトレードマークである訳の分からないナレーションから荘厳に、シンフォニックに、そして凶悪凶暴に展開する秀曲です。
THE MONOLITH DEATHCULT strike again! Their new EP ‘Bloodkvlts’ is a brutal demonstration of extreme technical prowess, crushing songwriting, and a sublime dose of the Dutchmen’s reckless humour. The band remains true to their close embrace of deadly 90’s influences with hints of CANNIBAL CORPSE, DEATH, NILE, NAPALM DEATH, ASPHYX, and BEHEMOTH shining through these meat-grinding songs.This album convinced critics and fans alike by delivering destruction with punishing riffs, vicious drum slaughter, and ridiculously brutal vocals. Following up on this success and helping to shorten the waiting time until their highly anticipated next full-length, the band now release ‘Bloodkvlts’. Put on your steel helmet and prepare for an ultra-heavy barrage…
THE MONOLITH DEATHCULT が戻ってきたぜ！次のフルアルバムが待ちきれない欲しがりなクソ豚野郎共にこいつをくれてやる！！”BLOODKVLTS” だ。鋼鉄のヘルメットを被ってウルトラヘヴィーな弾幕に備えろよ！！

MARUNOUCHI MUZIK MAGAZINE PRESENTS JAPANESE PREMIERE OF SCHIZOID LLOYD
11/4にBLOOD MUSICからデビューアルバム”The Last Note in God’s Magnum Opus”を発売するオランダの新鋭PROG-METALバンド、SCHIZOID LLOYD。アルバムからのファーストカット、SUICIDE PENGUINを彼らの曲解説、メッセージ付で日本独占公開です！！
【ABOUT SUICIDE PENGUIN】
MESSAGE FROM SCHIZOID LLOYD
“Hello entire Japanese population! Or some nutcase metalheads in it. We are Schizoid Lloyd, six lads from The Netherlands, we make progressive experimental avant-garde rock/metal and we have a crazy new song for you called “Suicide Penguin”, which is the first track of our upcoming debut album “The Last Note In God’s Magnum Opus”, and you should most definitely give it a listen! You might end up with a song you like! Which is always a good thing. The song is not actually about a penguin with suicidal thoughts, or, maybe it is, but metaphorically speaking the suicide penguin symbolises a fatal urge or desire. You should youtube that penguin and you’ll know what I mean. Then there is this stuff going on with reincarnation, love, fear of abandonment, existential loneliness, getting tricked by the devil, gangnam style, and magic mountains, but I’m not going into that or I’ll maybe ruin all potential interpretations that differ from my own, which is already very abstract and vague. The best thing you should do is just listen to the music, enjoy it, or not, then listen to it again, and enjoy it some more, or not, repeat ad nauseum. Thanks a lot!”
“やあ、日本のみんな！メタルヘッズもいるだろうね。僕らはSCHIZOID LLOYD。オランダ出身、６人の若者だよ。PROGRESSIVE/EXPERIENTAL/AVANT-GARDEなロック/メタルをプレイしているんだ。今回君達に聴いてもらうクレイジーな新曲がこのSUICIDE PENGUINだよ。もうすぐ発売される僕らのデビューアルバム“THE LAST NOTE IN GOD’S MAGNUM OPUS”からのファーストカットだ。絶対一度は聴いた方が良いぜ！きっと気に入るはずだから！うん、そうなれば最高だね。
この曲は自殺志願のペンギンについて書いている訳じゃないんだ。自殺ペンギンとは死に対する衝動とか欲求のシンボルで隠喩なのさ。YOU TUBEでペンギンの動画を見ればどういう事か分かると思うよ。
このテーマは輪廻、愛、放棄される恐怖、精神的な喪失、悪魔に騙される、カンナムスタイル、魔法の山、そういったものに関連しているんだけど説明出来ないね。僕が既に持っている抽象的で漠然とした解釈とは異なる全ての潜在的な解釈を破滅させるかもしれないからね。とにかく音楽を聴いて楽しんで。ダメならもう一回聴いて。それでもダメなら嫌になるほど聴いて。ありがとう！
The freakish debut album by Schizoid Lloyd – a Dutch progressive metal unit whose incredible musical hodgepodge of interests shine through within moments of the 57-minute release – effortlessly hopping from Queen-fueled vocal harmonies to Mr. Bungle lounging to Leprous progression to short outbursts of lunar insanity and even a dash of singer-songwriter sensitivity and white boy rap (when required). Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart would be very, very proud.
Schizoid Lloyd’s “The Last Note in God’s Magnum Opus” goes for pre-order on September 17th through Blood Music, with a November 4th release date.
Will be made available on limited edition high-quality vinyl, CD, and digitally through iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, X-Box Music, Spotify, Bandcamp, and every other digital service imaginable.
