Finally After Dark

Ravenblack - the eagerly awaited 12th studio album by German dark rock band MONO INC. marks another milestone in the band's history. After its predecessor catapulted them to the top of the German charts for the first time in their career, for the upcoming album they found yet another gear. Ravenblack is quintessentially MONO INC., a driving album with a total of 11 titles, propelled forward by distinctive metal riffs, anthemic melodies, and deep lyrics in true MONO INC. fashion – as per the Raven Community’s demand, finally including two German titles once again.

After the last album was released 13 years ago, DARK PRINCESS manifested themselves back to life with a few singles piece by piece equal to a “Phoenix”, and now complete the rebirth in the form of the new album, which bears the name of the fire bird. The broad vocal repertoire of Olga Trifonova inspires without limits. With her strong character mezzo-soprano the Russian outshines many of the 0815-voices of Symphonic and Gothic Metal and stays in the memory with that certain extra. Great cinema. Or glamorous opera. With Metal. The title track is a perfect introduction to “Phoenix”. DARK PRINCESS remains lyrically true to the theme of firebird, freedom and not giving up, which finally culminates in a spiritual way in a self-confident rebirth.
