Recorded and engineered by the legendary Billy Anderson (HIGH ON FIRE, SLEEP, NEUROSIS) at North Hollywood's Skull 7 Studios, the LP is set for a January 23rd, 2012 release.
"We definitely went in a "less stoner, more metal" direction on this record," said Behold! The Monolith guitarist Matt Price. "There's some faster stuff and some definite classic metal hat-tipping going on. It also has some of our most wretched sludgy / doom-y riffs yet. We know every band says this, but we feel it's a step up for us on every level...but our fans will have to be the ultimate judge of that."
