Mono Inc.

In the organizer's words:

After the two #1 albums "The Book Of Fire" and "Ravenblack", another completely sold-out symphonic tour and headlining slots at various festivals, the 13th studio album by Mono Inc. will finally be released on 15.08.2025. "Darkness" is a rousing ode to the power within each and every one of us.

The giants of dark rock - more profound than ever, more multi-layered than ever. With the songs on "Darkness", Mono Inc. prove that darkness does not mean the end. On the contrary: the lyrics and sound of the first single "In My Darkness" radiate from deep within. "Just as we can always shine for ourselves when the world around us is in chaos," says band leader Martin Engler.

Solidarity and tolerance, charity and self-love: "Darkness" is about everything that has carried the ever-growing Raven community through all the storms and valleys for years. "Darkness" is bursting with epochal power and at the same time creates intimate moments - to be experienced live on Mono Inc.'s biggest tour to date.

Soulbound are certainly not a band that would have made it into Dieter Bohlen's or Heidi Klum's call-up, instead they prefer to take matters into their own hands. Their first albums "Towards The Sun" (2012) and "Myllennium" (2016) were recorded independently and laid the foundation for their musical journey. The collaboration with Chris Harms of Lord Of The Lost was a turning point and led to the creation of their groundbreaking album "Addicted To Hell" in 2020. Their current album "obsYdian" (2024) reflects the musical and personal developments of the individual band members, reflecting dark moments while standing for solace and in clarity for their communal values of openness and respect. When trying to categorize Soulbound into a musical genre, they are often compared to genres such as gothic rock or industrial metal. However, if you ask the guys, they say: We make "wedontgiveafuckmetal", the main thing is that it bangs and is fun.
