If you’re looking for a different kind of heavy today, you’re in the right place. We’re streaming the new single “Mayhem” from The Mon – the solo project of Urlo, vocalist and bassist of Italian heavy-psychedelic trio Ufomammut, co-founder of the renowned poster art collective Malleus Rock Art Lab, and of the independent label Supernatural Cat. This one feels like a Monster Magnet cut and I’m here for it.
“‘Mayhem’ is a furious piece, voice and guitar joined together to scream what our world has become: a great chaos in which every day we sink deeper and deeper. The lyrics tell of what happens around us: the sky turning more and more into hell, those who should guide us blinded by power, holding the lightning bolts that will lead us to destruction, without realizing that it will also be their fate,” said Urlo.
“The chaos surrounding us is a light that explodes, a star shining in the hands of those who cannot see anything but the vortex of chaos itself. Today more than ever we cannot remain silent: we need to shout against the evil that devours us, against the indifference that is dragging us toward the abyss. Mayhem is not just a song, it is a necessary cry, rage turning into resistance, the voice that breaks the silence before it is too late.”
The Mon‘s new record Songs Of Abandon will be released digitally, on CD, and with both standard and limited LP pressings on November 7. Those who preorder the limited edition of Songs Of Abandon will have early access to an advance preorder of Songs Of Embrace, the second The Mon record coming at a later date. Find preorders at the Supernatural Cat webshop here and in the USA at A Thousand Arms here.
