The Monarch has unveiled "Dark Heart Phenomena" as the lead single from their upcoming album, "A Moment To Lose Your Breath." The band, led by drummer Dave Kinkade (formerly of Soulfly and Borknagar), also includes the vocal talents of Chris Clancy (Mutiny Within), along with guitarists Marco Martell (formerly of Malevolent Creation) and Marc Rizzo (Ill Niño, formerly of Soulfly), and bassist Tony Campos (Static-X and Fear Factory). Watch the video here.
The band's forthcoming album is scheduled for release on November 17th via Art Is War Records. The album was recorded by producer Vincent Ippolito (guitarist-Glacier) at Swift Road Studios in Arlington Heights Illinois and mixed & mastered by producer Chris Collier (Koßn/Whitesnake/Prong) at CMC21 Productions in Las Vegas Nevada.
Kinkade shared his thoughts on the new release: “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.”
