The 10th album by the 4 musicians comes as a concept album with setting in the darkest time of the Middle Ages! On CD1 MONO INC., in their stylistically unique dark-gothic style, roll over everything in their way. Chiseled with the garments of medieval stylistics it'll send you to the times of the black death, you'll feel the despair, which nestled in the minds of the medieval people and still you will feast on the stories of the Songs and hit the replay-button again and again!
CD2 - meaningful named ‘Welcome to Heaven’ – charms the ear through a beautiful and surprisingly calm instrumen-tation. 10 of the album songs are reinterpreted in the style of a chamber orchestra and the combination of piano, strings and the unique voice of Martin Engler conveys a new, intense feeling for the songs. In contrast to the rock songs of the first CD, they here dive into the dreamy and musical poetry of the songs, which displays the beauty of sadness, but also the feeling of freedom in a way that one cannot imagine.
With this record MONO INC. make clear that they are not to be listed anywhere other than the top of the dark rock genre and that the successes of the previous albums most definitely weren't the last ones!
