“I Am Pain” – Monastery Dead Unleashes a Dark Vision
With their latest track “I Am Pain,” Russian death metal veterans Monastery Dead deliver a brutal glimpse into their new album Ego Sum Dolor, released March 31, 2024 via Satanath Records and Australis Records.
Forged over four years of relentless work, the album dives into a harrowing concept: that hell is not a distant place but our present existence. Humanity, born wounded, endlessly inflicts pain upon itself in a vicious cycle of torment and destruction.
Recorded at BuzzyLick Studio in Saint Petersburg and shaped by the skilled hands of Ivan Dmitriev and Dmitry Kim, the LP’s 13 interconnected tracks weave a linear, flash-forward narrative that begins with its own end. “I Am Pain” embodies this vision with devastating riffs, crushing rhythms, and haunting intensity.
For fans of both traditional and modern death metal, Monastery Dead’s “I Am Pain” is not just music—it’s a descent into darkness.
