In January, I predicted The Monolith Deathcult’s Tetragrammaton as an album that would fuck faces in 2013, and now the time for facial fornication has arrived! Slightly less frenetic but significantly more cohesive than 2008’s Trivmvirate, Tetragrammaton is no less offensive in its heaviness. The album packs an industrial Deathcult punch frosted with a healthy (or at least palatable) dose of seven-string shred. The band is far from forgetting their tongue-in-cheek tendencies. Tetragrammaton incorporates subject matter from Transformers to terrorists and pairs these intellectualisms with samples from Caligula and MLK, Jr. alike (no, we’re not kidding). Featuring narrations again performed by Orion Pax.
