"In a day and age when even bands as abrasive and drug-imploded as ZOROASTER are inking relatively big record deals, it seems the time is right for West Coast golems BEHOLD! THE MONOLITH to shamble into view. Worshiping at the altar of the riff, possessed of an earth-rumbling tone, and crafting lengthy sludge epics worthy of their hessian ancestors, these guys are a worthy next step in the evolution of the heavy....If the doomed, creaking soul of proto-metal stoner riffs, agonal vocal scratchings, and the lurching throb of big, booming low end appeal to you — basically, if you like any of the above-mentioned bands — BEHOLD! THE MONOLITH are worth seeking out. Their earth-cracking crunge is the perfect soundtrack for these troubled times, bleary-eyed doom sludge as soundtrack to the end of the empire. Recommended."

"It may come as no surprise to discover that Behold! The Monolith are a Sleep-inspired stoner/doom band with a penchant for virile, manly pursuits such as mercilessly waging battle and gazing into Chthulu-esque abysses in search of tentacled, multi-dimensional demigods, but this California-based three-piece also have a sensitive side. Amongst the loping, dandruff-loosening grooves and burrowing, fuzzed-up leads there's a wistful airiness brewing that expands into the languid psyched-out space rock. Behold! The Monolith will have you seeing all kinds of stars."

"Ass-heavy like Mastodon or High On Fire, y'know, that sort of weightiness that you won't even headbang to because your neck feels too heavy, Behold! The Monolith promise great things on this three-track debut EP. Uglier and grittier than the aforementioned heavyweights, they can also rock out like the '70s were just yesterday. Bodes well, this does. 8/10"

"A friend turned me onto these guys by sending me a link to their myspace page. They are a three piece doom metal band out of the Los Angeles area and I really dig this album. One of the great things about working at and with indie record stores is the chance to find bands that aren't signed to a label or anything and get them some exposer. We worked out a direct deal with em to get their content on the digital site cause i feel they are just a good as any of the bigger "doom" bands out there. They have a little bit of a psych feel to them at parts so it's not all "slow and low" as you would think. Besides, you got to love an album with a song like "Battle For Balls Deep" on it. "
