MONASTERY UNLEASH "I WOKE DEAD" AHEAD OF "REVENGE IS MINE"

MONASTERY release their new single I Woke Dead today, celebrating the approaching arrival of Revenge Is Mine, due out on November 6th, 2026 via Art Gates Records. A nightmare awakens; revenge is next.

In I Woke Dead, the horror wears a familiar face: your own. A whispered invitation becomes possession, surrendering flesh and will to a murderous force. Awakening offers no salvation. The blood and bodies may have vanished, but the memories remain, leaving the narrator trapped between the nightmare and the evil within.

With music by Monastery and lyrics by Roland Kovács, the single opens a disturbing window into the forthcoming album. Its terror lies in that fractured moment between sleep and consciousness, when opening your eyes brings no certainty that the nightmare has ended.

Cryptopsy guitarist and producer Christian Donaldson handles mixing and mastering on both the single and Revenge Is Mine, bringing his experience in extreme metal to the eight-track release.

The album features music written by Krisztián Tóth and Róbert Kovács, with lyrics by Roland Kovács, except for Divine Damnation, penned by Krisztián Mórocz. A 2026 version of that song closes the record.
