Two heralds dance as they gleam
Lighting a path to the Self
As a daemon blinking in the night
Algol opposes itself, united as one
As a watcher in the night
Coruscating daemon-light
Know the stars to know thyself
Eclipsing mysteries show thyself
A bridge traversing Self and cosmos
Angular transgression
The herald of the barrier
A messenger forming the formless

Slumber, watcher, till the spheres
Six and twenty thousand years
Have revolv’d, and I return
To the spot where now I burn
beneath the shadow of Sothis
rising waters conceal
that which is unseen
must flow into the light
when the dark withers by
cycles emerge anew
the end of eternity and
the beginning of infinity
the first stars gather
unhurried
the light of beginning fades
farther then forgotten
Slumber, watcher, till the spheres
Six and twenty thousand years
Have revolv’d, and I return
To the spot where now I burn

The Sidereal Messenger

A message from the stars .... many-angled
Reveal much that's hidden ... bound in darkness
Navigating northward ... hight Polaris
Unfold endless cycles ... bound by angles

Prelude to the five angles of the night
Let loose the sparks that breathe life
Visions cast into the night
Drawn from the stillness of the six
The hounds are loosed
Who see you in the darkness
Only he who knows the Angles
Would lurk beneath the threshold

Do not call up that which you
cannot put downe... a result
Apart from those outside
A cold wind springs to life... a horror
Y'ai 'ny'ngoh / yog-sothoth
H'ee-l'geb / f'ai throdog / Uaaah
Ogthred ai'f / Geb'l-ee'h
'Ngah'ng ai'n / Zhro
Bring forth self from its essential
saltes... a madness
Call forth self that cannot
be put downe.. a cataclysm

L'espace est suffisamment grand pour toujours explorer de nouveaux endroits : cette philosophie s'applique à Okta Khora et même à la discographie de Monolithe en général. Un concept album avec une histoire plus tangible — une lutte contre une race alien qui tente de ramener l'univers au Chaos primordial — qui repose sur une architecture géométrique ; une brillante symphonie (les deux "Ignite The Heavens") qui danse harmonieusement avec un funeral doom exceptionnel ("Dissonant Occurrence") !

Nebula Septem ou l'obsession pour le chiffre sept (encore plus que Blut Aus Nord et sa trilogie 777) : nombre, durée et nom des pistes, line-up, tonalité choisie... Une recherche de la forme parfaite qui me rappelle un peu le Cybion de Kalisia. Mais chez Monolithe, la forme ne fait pas tout : le doom metal du groupe ne se place pas dans le camp du plastique superficiel. Les sept mouvements sont savamment orchestrés avec des sons progressifs et originaux ! Monolithe, un OuLiPo du doom metal ?

The aptly named Gloomseeker turn in a powerhouse new LP, full of bleak, haunting songs, echo-drenched vocals, and shadowy atmospheres.
