Monocube are a solo project from Ukraine that plays a very ritualistic form of dark ambient and this is a review of his 2019 album "Substratum" which was released as a joint effort by Cyclic Law and Malignant Records.
Atmospheric sounding drones start off the album along with the music also adding in a great amount of ambient style synths and soundscapes. At times the music also gets very ritualistic sounding while stringed instruments are also added into certain sections of the songs and all of the music is instrumental.
Most of the tracks are very long and epic in length while the music also gets very ritualistic sounding at times. As the album progresses a brief use of acoustic guitars can also be heard along with most of the tracks sounding very different from each other and the synths also bring in a variety of many different sounding keys and on song also brings noises onto the recording.
Monucube plays a style of dark ambient that is very ritualistic sounding using modular synths and stringed instruments to create a sound of his own as well as keeping all of the music instrumental and the production sounds very dark.
In my opinion Monocube are a very great sounding ritualistic dark ambient solo project and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Prima Materia" "The Opposite Of Nadir" and "Limen". 8 out of 10.
