Monument of Misanthropy is an internationally successful Austrian/English death metal band based in Vienna and London. The band has released two studio albums, an EP and a demo to date. The last album "Unterweger" was released in 2021 under the Transcending Obscurity Records label.
History
[edit]Monument of Misanthropy was originally founded as a solo project by singer Georg Wilfinger (ex-Miasma) in 2010.[1][2] In 2012, the project evolved into a studio band with drummer Romain Goulon (ex-Necrophagist) and guitarist Jean-Pierre Battesti, releasing the demo "Bandroom Misanthropy".[3]
The trio then decided to record their debut album "Anger Mismanagement", which was self-released. This happened after a successful crowdfunding campaign in 2014.[4] Due to the level of awareness of the founding members, especially Goluon (whose band Necrophagist was on a hiatus at the time and still is), the teasers for the album found their way into the scene media attention.[5]
fter the album's release, the band decided to create a live lineup. Tours with Suffocation, Vader, Immolation, Cattle Decapitation und Abiotic followed in 2016 and 2017. In 2017 the EP "Capital Punisher was released.
Another tour with Immolation and Full of Hell followed in 2018 and a performance at the music festival Brutal Assault, which is held annually in August in the Josefov Fortress in Jaroměř (Czech Republic) veranstaltet wird. It is considered one of the biggest extreme metal festivals in Europe.
Towards the end of 2019, after another tour with Immolation, a contract for two studio albums was signed with Transcending Obscurity Records, under whose name the current concept album "Unterweger" was released in 2021.[6]
The album, produced by Kristian Kohlmannslehner at his Kohlekeller studios, features guest vocals Sven de Caluwé (Aborted) and Julien Truchan (Benighted).The debut album "Anger Mismanagement" was re-released on January 23, 2022 by the Brutal Mind label.[7][8]
