I'm having hard time throwing a tag on it. It has some vague industrial guitar work in the background and those machine drum beats which could be considered the main aspect of music. Drone? industrial? experimental?

Heh, if you read the review and then some comments you'll see some of us come up with the stupid (but at the same time also fitting) name of "frone" (as in funeral drone).

It's certainly not post-metal

I guess we can call ourselves "frone head" now since we like this type of music (like prog head or metal head). It has nice tune

My first Monolithe album and my lord, what a brillant record. A massive, galactic scale effort to pay homage to the twisted brillance of Mr. Kubrick and Mr. Clarke.

Unfortunately nothing else the band have done is anything like this. Just very competent (if a little boring these days) funeral doom. They really need to do something like this again.

I have yet to try out any of their other releases but it really is a shame if they've left this line of experimental/industrial doom! I even heard some progressive elements in track 2. Haven't come across many bands with that particular blend, if any, and the Space Odyssey theme is just the floating cherry on top of the floating cake in zero gravity, which honestly is reason enough to check out everything they've ever put out! :-P

This is the best album I've listened to this past month, it is insane.

Just, wow. Incredible visionary album.

Their best work up to this point in their career and I have a hard time thinking they will ever reach this level of brilliance. After a decade it still feels so alien, vast and unique. Incredible drum programming along with the unnerving guitar leads and solos here and there. Drone, industrial, doom... Still a hard work to label although that is the main beauty of it.
