Recently announced was the July 26th Japanese release of the group's new album, Monotheist, through JVC. The Japanese version contains the bonus track “Incantation Against You, Frosts first pure acapella recording (available as a vinyl-only bonus track for the rest of the world). The bands longtime female studio vocalist Simone Vollenweider backed only by a male choir recorded Incantation Against You. Inspired by Mesopotamian ritual writings of banishment and the Maklu text in the Necronomicon, the song was written by Martin Eric Ain and Simone Vollenweider.
Do to demand Monotheist will be repressed on vinyl. The first version, pressed on black wax, sold-out immediately and the second pressing, on transparent/clear vinyl, again limited to 1000 copies worldwide, promises to sell out quickly!
