Love! - At my door I am still me - Are you still you Go! - To find my own way Third millennium, we’re still divide Can’t we embrace joy of liferide? YOU are the light, not ignite Don’t ever give in to benight Once upon a time I & my band called Monolit (1988-1992) was destined for greatness. At just 17-18 years old we made music that at that time could easily compete with well-known bands. Born for this, and born to be good in this. Right before recording of debut album in 92 war in Yugoslavia came and ruined everything. Monolit too. I tried in 90ies to play in Norway with some known musicians but it didn’t click. Somehow, that music scene killed my lust to play anymore. 2006-2008 was try to make Monolit live again but it didn’t last. 3 different countrys around the globe, no chance for longivity. Although, we manage to record one fine album indeed. 2020 came and after all these years of yearning for music and playing, one day after listening to demos collected through years and thinking of how good these songs sound even today, I told myself: “If I don’t put this out now, I will die as a sad man. Man, do whatever it takes, just do it!“ And here, it is, at last! Full on album ready to be released soon! No matter what will happen with this, I can go to the other side happy when time comes. Enjoy. This one’s for you and for me. PG Maximus Metallus anno MMXXIII Social Media:
