Austria’s MONUMENT OF MISANTHROPY are proud to release their new track, “The 1974 PNW Spree” featuring Gabe Mangold of Enterprise Earth, alongside an official lyric video. “The 1974 PNW Spree” marks the lead single from the band’s upcoming album, ‘Washington State Charm,’ set for release on June 26th via Listenable Records.
On the new single, the band comments:
“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.”
They continue, “It’s a high-octane ripper that perfectly mirrors the chaos and intensity of the Ted Bundy1974 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!”
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. Their previous full-length album, ‘Vile Postmortem Irrumatio‘ was released in August 2024 and drew roaring reviews worldwide.
These relentless purveyors of auditory violence and “Mindhunters” of brutal Death Metal, have crawled back out of the basement with a brand-new full-length slab of extremity entitled ‘Washington State Charm.’
The new opus is a wholesome little concept album chronicling the coming-of-age story of a serial killer: the awkward upbringing, the early extracurricular activities, and the grand finale on the electric chair of America’s probably most prolific serial killer, Ted Bundy.
Georg Wilfinger comments:
“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.
