Monumental Torment was established in November 2009 in the city of Tver, Russia by Artem Gultaev and Giovanni Komkov. They wanted to create extreme music in the style of technical death metal. In December, the guys found vocalist Lloyd Moore Jr., based in Phoenix, AZ, and went forward with the project. In February 2010 the band recorded the EP Oppression Submission, which has been exposed to a small audience. They immediately began forming ideas and writing music for a full-length album. On June 4, 2010, the group announced they had signed to SFC Records and in August 2010 they began recording the debut album, Element Of Chaos, and released it through SFC Records, in early 2011.
