The mysterious Swiss band DEATH. VOID. TERROR. (who are affiliated with the Helvetic Underground Committee) are following up their 2018 debut album with their own unique blend of chasmic black/doom metal. ‘To The Great Monolith II’ is a wholly immersive and utterly terrifying experience, one that drowns the senses in a dense and destructive portrayal of hellish tumult and torture and yet engulfs the listener in a sense of meditative ecstasy.
DVT state \"The purpose of DVT is to serve as vessels for the Great Monolith. However, we do not think that the Great Monolith's true essence can ever be fully grasped in its entirety. Thus, any representations of the Great Monolith by practitioners will never be absolutely pure, as they are necessarily indirect when channeled through practitioners. It is impossible to elaborate in concrete terms on what the Great Monolith is, yet through the audio and visual representations of DVT we are certain that the Great Monolith is. As such, \"To The Great Monolith II\" is the involved practitioners' second foray into approximating the Great Monolith through audio and visual representation and can be seen as an expansion upon \"To The Great Monolith I\". By listening to and experiencing the audio and visual images contained in \"To The Great Monolith II\", we believe that listeners can experience the Great Monolith for themselves, albeit without ever completely comprehending the Great Monolith's essence, resulting in a futile pursuit. Whether this pursuit is also fruitless depends on the listener.
