Der Ohlsen "This album is a mountain, but it’s conquerable without structuring your whole day around it. As mundane [...] as it may sound: I appreciate the consumer-friendly convenience. You don’t stumble upon a massive, gripping Funeral Doom masterpiece in this format - and not feeling too short - everyday."

Doom_and_Dead Monovoth continues to set the bar higher with every release. If you’re looking for a soundtrack to our collective plod toward nothingness, then this is it.
Clamor Resonat is particularly introspective, with a distant howl drawing ever nearer. This funerary slog has the slowest of builds, but manages to avoid predictability at every turn. When the next note finally drops it’s low and slow enough to satisfy the most discerning doomheads.

about

"An homage to death in all its solemnity. A guide, a beacon that illuminates the diverse stages of this inexorable path: the embrace, the close contemplation of its face, the sonic echo of its presence, the instrument of fate that summoned it, the emotions it arouses in its dark awakening, and, finally, the acceptance of the end itself.

This new opus reveals a melancholic and dark nature, a chorus of sighs that floats in an ethereal twilight. The previous dissonance that meandered fades away, giving way to astral landscapes saturated with sadness. The rough sounds are like cries in the night, and the anguish remains in a constant murmur. It's a journey that takes us from fear to mourning, and finally, to acceptance, as if death itself were an unwanted yet inevitable companion on this human pilgrimage.

The album's narrative reveals a similar restlessness to the Sartrean notion of individual responsibility and authenticity in facing death: Human beings are condemned to be free and therefore, they are guarantors of their choices in the face of the inevitable presence of the end. And just as Camus explored how individuals struggle to find meaning in an apparently absurd world, here too, there unfolds a search for understanding amidst the darkness.

In essence, “Pleroma Mortem Est” (Monovoth’s second dictum on Avant-Doom) is the soundtrack to the confrontation with finitude and the search for meaning in the face of darkness."
