Monument Of Misanthropy Premiere New Single & Lyric Video "The 1974 PNW Spree" - Gabe Mangold Of Enterprise Earth Guests

Originally founded as a solo project by singer Georg Wilfinger (ex-Miasma) in 2010 in Austria, MONUMENT OF MISANTHROPY has released three studio albums, an EP and a demo up to now. Previous full-length album "Vile Postmortem Irrumatio" was released in August 2024 and drew roaring reviews worldwide.

Today, those relentless purveyors of auditory violence and “Mindhunters” of brutal death metal have premiered their new single “The 1974 PNW Spree.” The track serves as the first preview of their upcoming full-length release, “Washington State Charm.” The track also features a guest solo from guitar virtuoso Gabe Mangold of Enterprise Earth.

The album is framed as a concept record, charting the coming-of-age story of a serial killer—from an uneasy upbringing and early warning signs to a grim conclusion in the electric chair—drawing inspiration from one of America’s most infamous figures, Ted Bundy.

The band comments on the album debut single ' The 1974 PNW Spree':

"We rolled out “The 1974 PNW Spree” as the first single because it picks up right where the last record left off — just meaner, tighter, and way more dialed in. Julius brought this one in, and it’s the perfect showcase of how far we’ve pushed ourselves technically over the years.
It’s a high-octane ripper that perfectly mirrors the chaos and intensity of that Ted Bundy 1974 killing spree — like a sonic gut punch that demands your attention, front and center.
On top of that, Gabe Mangold from Enterprise Earth throws down an absolutely unhinged but insanely precise solo that takes it over the edge.
Don’t sleep on this one!!!"

Adds frontman Georg Wilfinger:

" While we’ve stayed 100% true to ourselves musically which means constantly reinventing ourselves. We’re pretty damn sure you’re going to love this new album. We obsessed over every microscopic detail, whether it’s a hidden arpeggio, a lyrical pun, or just another described act of unspeakable horror and maybe some truths about Ted you might not even have known yet. This isn’t just another death metal record you half-listen to while bench-pressing.
It’s an experience. A deep look into a very, very sick human being’s brain."

Monument Of Misanthropy' s new guest-filled album 'Washington State Charm' is scheduled for a June 26, 2026 release date on Listenable records.
