The Monarch‘s “Dark Heart Phenomena” has been shared as the first single from the group’s forthcoming new album, “A Moment To Lose Your Breath“. Drummer Dave Kinkade (ex-Soulfly/Borknagar) spearheads that outfit, which features vocals from Chris Clancy (Mutiny Within), guitarists Marco Martell (ex-Malevolent Creation) & Marc Rizzo (Ill Niño, ex-Soulfly) and bassist Tony Campos (Static-X/Fear Factory).
Kinkade commented:
“Imagine the earth, the planet as a force, having a conscience. Mother nature in her own words. The other perspective is my own, speaking on behalf of mankind. We are a cancer to ourselves as we are constantly trying to kill each other off. The earth’s job is to sustain life and constantly shed itself from the bad in order to keep growing.
When the earth starts to die, it speeds up the rejuvenation process…to keep order. Imagine the earth being able to tell us exactly what was wrong with humanity and give us all the abilities to fix it, but instead we choose to over medicate ourselves with media. We blind ourselves to the real problems in the world and thus, end up living a pointless existence. Killing each other over possessions and ideologies as we are sick, and we can never escape ourselves.”
The group’s new album will be out on November 17th.
