Monolithic Architecture is a U.S band with the DNA of grindsters Hobostew and Reptilian Brain among others skulking in a completely opposite sphere of extreme metal. In Monolithic Architecture's realm, time has slowed to a standstill and with a riff pressure that will crush out of existence anyone willing to don earphones and listen for any length of time.
The album 'Our World Grows Worse' is a raw and devastating bombardment of drone infused doom. Starting and ending with blasts of flesh stripping feedback which also permeates throughout the album like razor wire in no man's land, 'Our World Grows Worse' is a Stone Golemesque trudge into negativity. Some chords wander into a hateful void while others slam into immobile granite walls.
I've often wondered how 2-piece bands manage to create such cacophonies of sound and Monolithic Architecture treads the same turbulent path.
