Imperial Doom 1992 (Nuclear Blast/ Relapse) Millennium 1997 (Conquest Music Inc./ Nuclear Blast) In Dark Purity 1999 (Conquest Music Inc./ Olympic/Hammerheart/ Century Media) Enslaving The Masses 2001 (Conquest Music Inc./ Hammerheart) Rise To Power 2004 (Conquest Music Inc./ Metal Blade) Spiritual Apocalypse 2007 (Conquest Music Inc, Metal Blade)MONSTROSITY formed in August 1991 and came crushing on to the scene with their explosive demo "Horror Infinity". After sending the recording throughout the worldwide underground tape trading network the band soon found themselves recording their debut album "Imperial Doom" for the Nuclear Blast label. Their first European tour was the next undertaking bringing the band through many major European markets. A trip to Mexico was made followed by more spot shows in the US including Chicago Milwaukee and New York as well as many Florida shows including opening for bands such as PANTERA, DEICIDE, OBITUARY and many more.The second album "Millennium" (1996) was completed and more touring commmenced. This time the band completed a US tour bringing the band to the West Coast for the first time. A second trip to Mexico was taken as well as a trip to Lima, Peru. After another European jaunt and the band’s first trip to Bogota Colombia, MONSTROSITY could truly be defined as an international band.In 1999, the third album was recorded. The most mature MONSTROSITY up to that point "In Dark Purity" was a defining moment in death metal history. All the core elements of the MONSTROSITY sound were in place along with the razor sharp production that lacked on previous outings. A full US/ Canada tour with Black Metal heavyweights DIMMU BORGIR and SAMAEL was then executed bringing the band to a new level of popularity. More US touring followed with yet another trip to Europe to headline Germanys FTC Festival.2001 brought "Enslaving The Masses" a retrospective that highlights the bands early years including the infamous "Horror Infinity" demo in its entirety, lead heavy remixes of "Imperial Doom" tracks, as well as a blistering live set captured in all of its death metal glory. Relentless touring was on the agenda with two back to back US tours, a full Mexican tour (a rarity for any band much less an underground death metal band) and the band’s first stop in Brazil, which was documented on the official bootleg "Live Brazil 2002". More US touring and a full European tour were undertaken concluding with a 10 date festival tour of Poland proving to be one of the bands most successful tours yet.In 2004 the band headed back to the studio to record the monumental "Rise To Power" release. The band lived up to its international reputation again by playing live shows in Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Guatemala, and the band’s biggest show ever headlining the "Rock Al Parque" Festival in Bogota Colombia playing before 80,000 people.Now after last year’s monumental "Triumph In Black" tour (which featured the band in 33 shows in 33 days all across Europe), the band have entered Morrisound studios to create the masterpiece known as "Spiritual Apocalypse". With a revitalized line up the band has shown no sign of weakness on this exhilarating release. The tracking was engineered by Jim Morris and the mix was engineered by Tom Morris. The album was produced by Lee Harrison and MONSTROSITY. Beautiful artwork and a killer design make the album that much more worthy. More touring is scheduled in support of the new release. Another tour of Mexico was completed in February 2007 alongside MARDUK and others. More touring in the US, Europe and South America is expected after that including the band’s second visit to the FTC festival in Germany taking place in May 2007."Spiritual Apocalypse" rolls all the killer elements of MONSTROSITY into one superior package. Through trials and tribulations of label problems, member changes, and tides in shifting musical taste, MONSTROSITY still stand taller than ever, still delivering their brand of state of the art sonic devastation. The Apocalypse is NOW!!! |
