Monachopsis release new animated lyric video for 'Letters From The Doomsday Vault'

The UK's melodic tech death maestros, Monachopsis, are just a week away from unleashing their latest EP, The Carcass Choir - an incredible outpouring of supremely accomplished death and dexterity. But before The Carcass Choir begin to sing their threnodies from rotted throats Monachopsis have unveiled a new animated lyric video for the EP's second track - 'Letters From The Doomsday Vault'. Monachopsis guitarist Richard Allsopp reveals the inspirations and ideas behind this atmospheric and enthralling track...

"There’s a massive facility on the remote island of Svalbard that preserves seeds from all around the world in gene banks to provide security for the world’s food supply in case of war, disease, natural disaster or apocalyptic hellfire, hence the nickname ‘The Doomsday Vault’.

I find the whole concept of being stashed away from the rest of humanity with the potential to outlive the apocalypse fascinating and eerie. One day the image of a security guard at the facility writing postcards home to his family popped into my head and the lyrics for this track are what came out of that particular venture."

Head to the Monachopsis YouTube channel now and step into the vast, haunted chambers of 'Letters From The Doomsday Vault'!
