MONUMENTUM (Ita) - "In Absentia Christi"



MONUMENTUM (Ita)
"In Absentia Christi"
DISPLEASED RECORDS
Release Date : 15/09/2009

It was a great step taken by DISPLEASED RECORDS to reissue this 1995 classic. The band has earlier signed with the cult label DEATHLIKE SILENCE PRODUCTION but the album never came thru. It was finally released under MISANTHROPY RECORDS later.

This is actually the third time "In Absentia Christi" has been released after the one under MISANTHROPY RECORDS (1995) and a limited self-released version (2007). While for Malaysian market, it was available under STRANGE CULTURE RECORDS (under licensed) back in 1998.

MONUMENTUM gives you dose of avant garde doom metal at its best - majestic, melodic and dark. The album set a high mark that no band has ever came close. So, should we say more ?

The one here came out with 10 tracks with one bonus.  Definitely a must have for those who appreciate original metal music. For those new listeners, its better late than never. We don't think that the album will see any more reissue.
