Japanese instrumental rock four piece MONO will venture down to Australia for select shows across the country this December.

‘Transcendental’ out October 23 from Pelagic Records

Fans can pre-order the vinyl and CD editions of the split from Pelagic Records.

Lead guitarist, Takaakira ‘Taka’ Goto explains the theme behind the new track.

The theme of this track is life and death and regeneration. Even when our bodies decay and decompose, our souls will prevail unchanged. Our bodies will act as seeds for the next generation, while our souls will journey together into our new eternal life. This is the story we want to explore with our next album, a portrayal of our journey through life towards death; from living out our lives proud and high, to bodies immolating, infused with precious memories… and through the vast, noisy tunnel of space, we become pure souls – a single drop of water in the fountain of life.
