Monolithe deals with the origin of mankind and mystery. It´s an album number seven, performed by seven musicians and contains seven tracks. Each track longs exactly seven minutes.  Nebula Septem is the seventh full length album from the long running French funeral doom metal project Monolithe. The band covered the origins of mankind on their initial run of self-titled, Roman numeralized albums Monolithe I though Monolithe IV, all of which were comprised of single, fifty-minute plus tracks. Rumor had it that the band was going to call it quits after they unleashed number four, but they soldiered on, releasing two spacey chunks of heavy music in the form of Epsilon Aurigae and Zeta Reticuli, both of which saw the band’s fifty minute formula shortened to three fifteen minute tracks. Recommended for fans of Esoteric, Skepticism, Ahab, Luna, Mournful Congregation, Void Of Silence.
