MONOLITHIC RECORDS’ FIRST RELEASE: BRENT A PETRIE’S THE VOID
Hail, peons! Welcome, as promised, to the next phase of The Monolith.
You may recall last week, when we announced our plans for our own record label platform, Monolithic Records. We outlined the deal, and asked people to contact us if they were interested, so that they could add their music to our ever expanding roster of talented independent artists. We’ve had a number of response already, but in the spirit of timely progression, we’re excited to tell you that our very own web store and streaming platform will be launched next week, along with our first release: Brent A. Petrie’s The Void.
Today we are proud to present to you a teaser of his impending album. Remember that for subscribed Acolytes, The Void will be a pay what you want download – and all of our subsequent releases will be offered at a cheaper price to our faithful underlings. Check out the promo below and don’t forget to share and tell your friends. It’s a great album that we’ve been holding onto for a while and we’re ecstatic to finally be able to share it with you.
Brent A. Petrie is a musician from Mesa, AZ. The Void, the second release from his one man progressive metal project, is set to be released on Monolithic Records, the label’s first output. The Void combines elements of progressive metal, post-rock, and electronica, often in a single song. Primarily instrumental, the songs are held together by their emotive cohesion, as opposed to any adherence to genre standards. From the artist himself, “my goal with The Void was to reflect my individual tastes without worrying about whether anything ‘fit’. I just wanted to make something that was held together by how it feels, rather than by how it sounds.” The album’s title is a reference to the thematic nature of the album; a void in three distinct senses: sleep, death, and space. Replete with references to the sources that inspired him, The Void is an exploration of one man’s diverse musicality, and refusal to stay within the lines.

Teaser sounds sexy yo.
Thanks, man. That’s high praise coming from you. That really sexy part at 1:47? That’s your boy Sacha Laskow absolutely killing it. Probably the best 30 seconds on the record.
This is great news. i heard that the guy in this band could have played for the Phoenix Suns but they found weed in his airforce one’s!
Can’t wait to hear this shit!
This has been a long time coming, and I think it’s fair to say that it will have been worth the wait.
Other than stating the obvious ‘great work’ and ‘sounds awesome’, might I also express a heartfelt congratulations to both Brent and Monolithic Records. Cheers to new business models and to world domination!
I would like to second the congratulations! May this be the year of the Monolith!
Thank you all for the congrats. I’m looking forward to it. Very exciting times for both me and the whole Monolith crew!
Amazing teaser and amazing music! Props to Monolithic and Brent!
