Mono have made their new album Requiem For Hell available to stream exclusively in conjunction with the ArcTanGent festival and Prog.
The follow-up to 2014’s Rays Of Darkness is out on October 14 via Pelagic Records – but Prog readers can hear the album in full ahead of its official release.
Guitarist Takaakira ‘Taka’ Goto says: “This album is a series of songs from a flood of inspirations in 2015. After writing song after song and giving them titles, we stumbled upon Dante’s Divine Comedy and the story struck a chord with us.
“Divine Comedy’s story about travelling down to Hell, through to purgatory, then from Heaven to reality, turned out to be the same theme. This is when we decided to use Gustave Dore’s illustration from Divine Comedy’s last scene as the main cover.”
Mono will head out on the road across Europe later this month, with pg.lost, Sinistro and Syndrome joining them on select dates.
