Dead Poet Society today releases their highly anticipated new album, Monarch , via Spinefarm Records . Along with the full album release, the Los Angeles band has revealed a new collection of visualizers to accompany each track that had not yet received an official music video.
Continuing the visual language surrounding Monarch and the previously released videos for "Cold," "Roach," and "Sinner Systems," the new visualizers further expand the album art and give each song its own visual identity.
Produced by Mutemath frontman Paul Meany ( Twenty One Pilots , Pierce The Veil ), Monarch has been widely acclaimed by the international press. Revolver magazine says the album is “tense and intricate with a danceable dread,” Kerrang! described the songs as “simmering” and called the work “extraordinary,” while Consequence hailed the tracks as a “glorious success.” The work also received strong praise from outlets such as Rock Sound (“shines and shakes with decadence and malice”), Vice (“totally contagious”), and Knotfest (“engaging”).
“We wanted to carve out our own piece of territory,” says vocalist and guitarist Jack Underkofler about the band’s approach to composing Monarch. “I just wanted to risk everything with this record. All the things that I felt shaped us, I wanted to see how deep I could go with them and try to extract the essence of the feeling that makes Dead Poet Society who we are.”
