KOSMODROM, MONOLITHE's 9th full-length album, tells the tale of intrepid pioneers, explorers, discoverers and the dangers and sacrifices inherent to their leap into the unknown, through the metaphor of real historical events related to the space conquest on the Soviet side.
Some famous figures such as Vladimir Komarov, Alexei Leonov or the dog Laïka can be encountered at the turn of a song or a text line.
KOSMODROM is musically a compendium of the know-how accumulated by the band over its more than two decades of existence, through a racy and futuristic Doom Metal, crossed with progressive touches and sprinkled with new influences.

Space race was one of the greatest achievements of the USSR. We still have monuments dedicated to the heroes of space race in many cities in Russia. Thank you for paying respect with this album.
