MONUMENT OF MISANTHROPY Release New Full-Length

"Washington State Charm" is the latest studio album from Austrian brutal death metal band MONUMENT OF MISANTHROPY, released today, June 26, 2026 via Listenable Records. The release is a concept album centered on the life of Ted Bundy, one of the United States’ most infamous serial killers, tracing his story from a troubled childhood and adolescence through his crimes, prison escape attempts, and eventual execution by electric chair.

Continuing the band’s established focus on serial killer-themed concept records — following albums such as "Unterweger" (about Jack Unterweger) and "Vile Postmortem Irrumatio" (about Ed Kemper) — "Washington State Charm" delves into Bundy’s psychology and actions in detail. The title is an ironic nod to Bundy’s perceived “charm,” referencing his use of appearance and charisma to manipulate victims, particularly in Washington State. Lyrically, the album covers his upbringing, early criminal activity, his killing spree across the Pacific Northwest (song: "The 1974 PNW Spree"), subsequent crimes in states including Colorado and Florida, and his final fate in prison ("Strapped To The Throne (Burn, Bundy, Burn)").

The album maintains a graphic, misanthropic tone typical of brutal death metal, but presents its subject matter through a structured narrative that functions as a disturbing “sonic biography.”

Several notable guest appearances further expand and diversify the record’s sonic palette: More...
