MONOLITHE - Soyuz (single)

MONOLITHE Soyuz (10’00) Monolithe presents a new song: “Soyuz“. Lasting 10 minutes, “Soyuz“ is an excerpt from the band’s new album “Kosmodrom“ to be released in the fall of 2022. The song narrates the crash of the Soyuz-1 spaceshuttle in April 1967, killing its passenger, cosmonaut Vladimir Komarov. “Soyuz“ and the rest of the album tell the tale of intrepid pioneers, explorers, discoverers and the dangers and sacrifices inherent in their leap into the unknown, may it be voluntary or not, through the metaphor of real historical events related to the space conquest on the Soviet side. To avoid any potential ambiguity, Soyuz and the album this song is taken from have absolutely no relation to the current dramatic geopolitical situation, nor are they an ode to the Soviet era. The concept, music, lyrics and visuals were created between spring 2020 and the very beginning of 2022.
