This, the ninth studio album from MONO INC. takes us on an intense journey of strange drama, haunting melodies, wild orchestrations and deeply moving lyrics, as we follow a brutal voyage across terrible oceans in this tragic search for freedom. The band, centred around singer Martin Engler and drummer Katha Mia, grabs the listener with the very first beat; you feel the moaning of the masts, the whipping of the storms and taste the bitter, salty spray. Unmoved by the chart success of their previous 3 top 10 albums, MONO INC. beguile once again, pulling us into another dimension - into THEIR WORLD. The 12 songs are a gripping roller-coaster of moods and emotions. They will bewitch your ears, speed your pulse, and settle like gold dust on your heart. 2 tracks on this album are particularly striking: The moving anthem ‘Children of the Dark’ is a regular all-star project featuring vocal support from Joachim Witt, Tilo Wolff (Lacrimosa) and Chris Harms (Lord of the Lost) and could be THE dancefloor filler of rock clubs for many years to come, while listening to ‘Boatman’ gave VNV NATION front man Ronan Harris such goose bumps that, for the first time in his great career, he spontaneously became available for a duet...
Released late January 2017 on No Cut.
