Monolith of Time is our first album, a very heavy record, ranging from slow and doomish parts to blastbeats, guitars like a jackhammer puncturing your brain, and gloomy background vocals. Drums and bass are very clear and independent, enhancing the heaviness even more. The music has a somber mood all along the album, a mood in the vein of Incantation, Dead Congregation, Krypts, by the other hand, it also features lots of odd time signatures and elaborated arrangements.
The lyrics speak about themes related to ancient civilisations, their culture and their wars.
------------
Monolith of Time é o nosso primeiro full album, um disco denso, instrumental na cara, vocais sombrios - quase soprados - nos moldes do Incantation, Krypts, Dead Congregation, etc. O som vai desde partes lentas e doentias até blastbeats, com guitarras nervosas como furadeiras elétricas no seu crânio, e sombrios vocais de fundo. Bateria e baixo elevando o nível do peso na medida. A música tem um humor sombrio ao longo de todo o álbum, um clima na veia old school. Por outro lado, o disco também também possui alguns compassos complexos e arranjos elaborados.
O som é acompanhado por temáticas em torno de civilizações antigas, seus costumes e suas guerras.

about
Baetylus (also Baetyl, Bethel, or Betyl, from Semitic bet el "house of god") is a word denoting sacred stones that were supposedly endowed with life.
According to ancient sources, these objects of worship were meteorites, which were dedicated to the gods or revered as symbols of the gods themselves.
In ancient Greek religion and mythology, the term was specially applied to the Omphalos, the stone supposed to have been swallowed by Cronus (who feared misfortune from his own children) in mistake for his infant son Zeus, for whom it had been substituted by Gaea. This stone was carefully preserved at Delphi, anointed with oil every day and on festive occasions covered with raw wool.
lyrics
A large flint
Coned shaped obelisk
Wears the wool
Garbed deity
Pour the oil
Make the pebble shine
Hefty boulder
Stone divine
The hollow life
The futile creed
The blank existence
The stupid belief
The hollow… life
The futile… creed
The blank… existence
The stupid… belief

Song and Lyrics by David Lago
These guys must have fun reading how people try to pigeonhole them into some genre. OK then: A bit of black, a bit of prog, a bit of - do I hear NWOTHM? over solid melodic death with haunted vocals. Excellent and the longer you play it the better it gets.
How come nobody mentioned the bass? YomaBarr
