Get on it biznatch. I might have been wrong with the Godflesh analogy. It was on quite quiet so I couldn't hear it as well as I'd have liked but the drums and the repetitive, overlapping riffs bludgeoned like a Godflesh release to me.

Well, the overall discography seems intriguing to me. Glad that some nice guy put the entire debut on youtube. Gonnan check them out today. (and I'm serious serious.... not Troy-serious).
Also judging by the cover, bandname and overall theme of the lyrics of their releases... This guys must really love 2001  I like that.

Yep, the whole 2001 makes me like them before I've heard whatever release they have out. There should be more 2001 themed bands, as long as their music is as mysterious as the film of course.

No wonder I'm getting an industrial vibe from this, they use programmed drums.
The first great record of 2012.

Monolithe II was basically Funeral Doom, is this a total change of style ?

Yep. No funeral doom here in my opinion, not even sure I'd call it doom ;]

This is a devastating EP. Whoever it sounds like, it doesn't matter: it crushes souls. Very good.

Yeah, I can see some "Blut Aus Nord meets doom metal" vibe going on here.

I hear Ministry's Scare Crow just a little too much in the first 12 minutes or so of section 1.

Holy shit its SKOM!! Been a long time!!!
Dunno if I dig this yet. Needs a few more spins. They went Godflesh on drums; Machines. JK Broadrick made it work, not sure if the sound does here.

The sound of the drums is what trully defines this EP. Totally nailed the style to make this piece of album one great trancefest. A human drummer would just ruin this.

One of countless great albums I get familiar with thanks to Joe.
The first track which could be considered a long one finishes without boring me for a second. Despite the fact that it is pretty easy to go through and digestible, I'm having hard time throwing a tag on it. It has some vague industrial guitar work in the background and those machine drum beats which could be considered the main aspect of music. Drone? industrial? experimental?

Heh, if you read the review and then some comments you'll see some of us come up with the stupid (but at the same time also fitting) name of "frone" (as in funeral drone).

I guess we can call ourselves "frone head" now since we like this type of music (like prog head or metal head). It has nice tune

My first Monolithe album and my lord, what a brillant record. A massive, galactic scale effort to pay homage to the twisted brillance of Mr. Kubrick and Mr. Clarke.

Unfortunately nothing else the band have done is anything like this. Just very competent (if a little boring these days) funeral doom. They really need to do something like this again.

I have yet to try out any of their other releases but it really is a shame if they've left this line of experimental/industrial doom! I even heard some progressive elements in track 2. Haven't come across many bands with that particular blend, if any, and the Space Odyssey theme is just the floating cherry on top of the floating cake in zero gravity, which honestly is reason enough to check out everything they've ever put out! :-P
