Being present on the music scene for 10 years now Mono Inc. return with their latest release - "Nimmermehr". The new album, created with the assistance of Joachim Witt, contains 12 unique tracks.

Courageous, poetic lyrics, that perfectly harmonize with the melodic layers are one of the album’s strengths. Musicians neatly combine both gothic influences so as guitars, as much as possible rock like, sometimes enriching this mixture with the symphonic elements. Record draws into by its specific catchiness, which also explains the concert phenomenon of the group. Artists serve the listeners already well known quality. Although many inspirations, they create interesting, own, recognizable sound, that thanks to the unabated energy, noticeable both in subsequent releases and during live performances of formation, still fascinates.
Individual sounds, included on the album are presented with disarming pugnacity. They provide a consistent linking and a follow up of motives known from previous releases, while presenting an interesting approach to the genre. Powerful sides of this album are definitely strong guitars interwoven with ethereal melodies of keyboards and pleasant vocals. Each of the tracks has its own, unique character, regardless whether it shows a more rock claw, or you have to deal with ear-catching ballad.
The whole of the record is a skilfully combination of issues related to pain, passage of time and unfulfilled love, passed by an intriguing poetry. There are plenty of sadness and romanticism, that are so characteristic to the band. Already known, single’s versions "My Deal With God" and "A Better Way To Die" in comparison with the rest of the material fall out consistently and they complete the whole. It is pop like, melodic, but at the right time you can feel the weight of the well set guitars.

Despite the fresh approach to the genre they play, Mono Inc. remain faithful to their yet developed sound. It is mature and sophisticated album. It is undeniable audible, that it was recorded for the love of music. Him’s catchiness, Rammstein’s nostalgia and musical atmosphere close to Tiamat’s "Judas Christ" period – what more could you want.
