Tells the band:

“Due to the extremely graphic and explicit content, noone literally “had the guts”, to upload it on YouTube. So we decided to put it on Vimeo. The money we receive from there, will be spent on another Kemper-themed music video for the new album. So it’s win for all sides…”

Fleshgod Apocalypse drummer Eugene Ryabchenko has been recruited by the band to track the drums for the opus. Video footage from the sessions, showcasing Ryabchenko recording another song from the record, named “How To Make A Killer”, has been recently shared on his YouTube channel and can be viewed as well below:

Asked about how the recording process went down Eugene commented:

“Monument Of Misanthropy’s new album was a very challenging and extreme record. Working on it and tracking the songs was pretty exhausting, but also lot’s of fun. The kinda struggle and challenge that makes you wanna put in the work and give your best to get to the next level at your craft. Thank you for the opportunity”

Recording sessions took place with sound engineer Marco Mastrobuono behind the boards, at the Bloom Recording Studio, Rome, Italy. The world renowned The Bloom was chosen by bands and artists like Fleshgod Apocalypse, Alan Parsons, Ennio Morricone and many more.

Tells frontman George Wilfinger:

“The whole band was literally “dying” the past months to finally unleash this new beast of an album and our new music video. We chose to work with only the best in this genre, and are also eternally grateful for Eugene recording the drums for this record. The mixing and mastering was handled by the young but extremely professional and gifted Jei Doublerice. Jei already did an amahzing job on 2 singles from the album before, which showed that he’s the perfect man for this record.”

Adds Wilfinger about the video:

“The new music video for “A Nice Beheading For MoM” was shot with the dream team Rodger Fischer and Zetel Skempris from Snuffmasks Production and Rat.SFX. They recently crafted the visuals for Kraanium’s “Massive Piles of Festering Remains.” The band performance footage for the clip was captured by the talented Radka Klein (Nachtfrost Visuals) in a cellar near Vienna. Rodger and Zetel filmed the visceral and intense scenes “historically correct” involving all the blood and guts this past February. We’re stoked to be working with this awesome team and can’t wait to see how our fans will receive this visual masterpiece.”

About the story behind the video the band’s frontman explains:

“‘A Nice Beheading For MoM’ circles around the probably most infamous killing of Ed Kemper III. It’s the “mercy killing” of his own mother, as Ed put it. For those not acquainted with story: Things took place on the night of April 20, 1973, when Kemper’s sleep was disrupted as his mother, Clarnell Strandberg, returned home drunk from a party. Finding herself in bed reading a book, she observed Kemper entering her room and asked him “I suppose you’re going to want to sit up all night and talk now.”

Kemper tersely replied, “No, good night.” When his mother has fallen asleep he later returned to her room again, where he attacked her with a claw hammer, followed by slashing her throat with a pocket knife. Kemper then beheaded her and, as detailed in a 1984 interview, subjected her corpse to ‘acts of humiliation’.

Kemper admitted to placing her head on a shelf and venting his anger for an hour, even resorting to throwing darts at it and eventually smashing her face. Additionally, he extracted her tongue and larynx, depositing them in the garbage disposal.

Kemper once remarked in an interview, “That seemed appropriate, as much as she’d bitched and screamed and yelled at me over so many years.”

Comments the band’s label Transcending Obscurity Records:

“Brutal death metal titans Monument of Misanthropy return once again with a sickening concept album based on a serial killer, and this time it revolves around Ed Kemper. The band delves into aspects of his life, using violent music to add meaning to it; their visceral and incisive music with highly expressive vocals perfectly capturing the terrifying aura around the figure. They are one of the few bands who have the chops to pull off music of this kind and don’t have to rely on the imagery or sound samples alone. But they haven’t left any stone unturned here to give a wholly scarring experience, from the repulsive and highly detailed album artwork to the shocking and explicit official video that’s been censored for reasons of sanity and normal functioning. Their standards were already high, but they’re raised the bar even higher on this one – the music comprising an expected barrage of blasts and frenetic riffage albeit punctuated for emphasis on groove and structuring, the vocals enunciated for a greater degree of vileness, and the songs coming together and making sense despite a pervading sense of degradation and wanton bloodshed. Fans of the band won’t be disappointed with this in the least, while giving others reasons to check out an accomplished slab of brutal/technical death metal and have a new sense of fear instilled in them.”

The album comes along with a large selection of merchandise and fan items that leaves nothing to be desired by the band’s fans:
