Grey Daturahs/Monarch - Dawn of the Catalyst

Rapture

#154) Grey Daturahs/Monarch - Dawn of the Catalyst (2007)

 1. Grey Daturahs - Golden Tusk the Endearing
 2. Monarch - Rapture


i'd never heard Grey Daturahs before but i'm definitely gonna check out more of their stuff now. their track is instrumental and is some crushing, droning doom. very cool stuff.
i already covered a couple Monarch albums, which you can read about here. nothing's really changed. the track is heavy, slow and rad as hell. it sounds like there are some vocals or maybe it's just the singer making noises, not sure since there are no lyrics in the cd or anything. either way, it sounds awesome. i'm really loving these guys.

Monarch is from Bayonne, France and Dead Men Tell No Tales is a 2 disc reissue of their out of print 2nd and 3rd albums. they play some fucking crushing, glacial doom and have an awesome singer.

Speak of the Sea was originally limited to 666 copies. 

Die Tonight was also limited to 666 copies and continues in the blackened feedback/riff slab footsteps of the previous album. 

this shit is minimal, dark and slooooooow and it just jumped to the top of my favorite records list.
