ART GATES RECORDS
Death metal act Monastery comes back with a blistering new single, “Chase the Heretics”, a track that digs deep into the darkness of the human psyche, weaving together themes of mental confusion, fanaticism, and historical cruelty.
Inspired by one of the darkest chapters of human history, the Inquisition ,the song delivers a brutal commentary on the destructive power of religious extremism. With raw, unfiltered lyrics and crushing instrumentation, Monastery paints a harrowing picture of a time when questioning dogma meant facing death. The band doesn’t hold back, channeling righteous fury into every riff, scream, and beat. It’s not just a historical reference,it’s a warning.
The accompanying music video, crafted by Drain Hope, visually mirrors the song’s message, portraying the psychological toll of spiritual manipulation and collective madness. From red-hot irons to fabricated sins, the imagery is both symbolic and brutally literal.
Mixed and mastered by Christian Donaldson (Cryptopsy), “Chase the Heretics” carries the full sonic weight of Monastery’s signature sound: aggressive, relentless, and unafraid to shine a light on the ugliest truths of our past.
