Our Take
Our Take
Here we have MONASTERIUM's self-titled album, bringing us a blend of medieval chants and heavy metal riffs that will have you feeling like you're in a battle with King Arthur himself.
From the opening track, "Sacred Stones," you're immediately transported to a mystical world filled with monks, knights, and dragons. The haunting vocals combined with thunderous drums create a sense of urgency that will have you banging your head in no time.
Tracks like "Cathedral of Shadows" and "Inquisition" showcase MONASTERIUM's ability to seamlessly blend the old with the new, creating a sound that is both timeless and innovative.
But it's not all serious business with this album. The band's quirky sense of humour shines through on tracks like "Ale and Swords," where they sing about their love for a good pint and a sharp blade.
Overall, MONASTERIUM's debut album is a true gem in the world of metal music. Their unique blend of haunting melodies, thunderous riffs, and medieval imagery makes for a listening experience that is both entertaining and thought-provoking.
So grab your sword, pour yourself a pint, and get ready to rock out with MONASTERIUM. This is one album that is sure to leave a lasting impression.

About the artist
Monasterium
Born in the depths of a medieval castle in Poland, MONASTERIUM is a band that transports listeners back in time with their epic, doom-laden sound. With a name that conjures images of monks chanting in candlelit chambers, this four-piece outfit has been making waves in the metal scene since their inception in 2010. Led by the enigmatic figure known only as Lord Insecula, MONASTERIUM's music is a blend of traditional doom metal and epic heavy metal, with lyrics inspired by the dark corners of history and mythology. Their debut album, "First Prayer," released in 2013, garnered critical acclaim and solidified their reputation as a force to be reckoned with. What sets MONASTERIUM apart from their peers is their commitment to creating a fully immersive experience for their audience. From their elaborate stage costumes to their meticulously crafted album artwork, every aspect of their presentation is designed to transport fans to a world of ancient mysteries and forgotten legends. But don't let their medieval trappings fool you - MONASTERIUM's music is anything but dusty and outdated. With thunderous drums, searing guitar solos, and haunting vocals, their sound is as powerful and relevant as ever. Whether you're a seasoned metalhead or a newcomer to the genre, MONASTERIUM is a band that demands to be heard. So don your chainmail, light some candles, and prepare to be enveloped in the dark, brooding world of MONASTERIUM. You may never listen to music the same way again.
