LORD DYING Enlists BEHOLD! THE MONOLITH Members


Entombed AD LORD DYING Enlists BEHOLD! THE MONOLITH Members for ENTOMBED A.D. / VOIVOD European Tour

BEHOLD! THE MONOLITH's Chase Manhattan and Matt Price will perform with LORD DYING on drums and bass, respectively, on the band's European tour with ENTOMBED A.D. and VOIVOD. The Dead Dawn European Tour begins on October 26 in Leipzig (Germany).

BEHOLD! THE MONOLITH released its third full-length album, Architects of the Void on September 30, 2016. Stream the album in its entirety here. Architects of the Void follows critically acclaimed 2012 release Defender, Redeemist and marks the debut of vocalist Jordan Nalley who took the reigns following the tragic 2013 death of Kevin McDade in a car accident. The album will also be the first for new bassist Jason "Cas" Casanova (SASQUATCH). The album artwork was created by Dusty Peterson (Bloodbath, Six Feet Under, Oceano).

Praise for Architects of the Void:

"Healthy doses of doomy riffage, pummeling heaviness, and expansive/exploratory parts that just might take you on a journey to another planet."
- MetalSucks

"With elements of all good things that are heavy, the new release by Behold! The Monolith is a musical battle hammer shattering the skulls of the weak and feeble. "
- The Ripple Effect

"The Monolith deals in stoner/sludge stuff somewhat akin to High on Fire and/or Lord Dying, with song titles and artwork that would give The Sword's J.D. Cronise a hard-on."
- Hellbound.ca

"A sprawling metal masterpiece marked by memorable riffs, scorching leads, and intricate song structures."
- Vertical Chamber Apparatus

"The band play Doom mixed with Sludge, producing an album that sits outside of the normal template for both sub-genres and is all the better for it."
- Wonderbox Metal

"Behold! The Monolith do not hesitate to blow listener's eardrums away with their new album...thunderous sounding riffs and crushing Sabbath like jams."
- Rock and Metal Temple

"An excellent album. The implementation of both stoner and doom elements is executed masterfully allowing both styles to shine on their own and to weave together." 5/5
- Metal Blast

"Billy Anderson returned to man the board... and he's somehow achieved one of his most cohesive productions yet."
- Invisible Oranges
