The Monolith Man - Beyond the Dead Bound

Since the mid-90s, Umut İçli has pursued his passion for metal music. With his Black Metal band Obscure, which he founded, he released the album Shedded Blood through a Turkish label in 2007 and played many concerts. Later, he formed the Melodic Death Metal band Act, releasing the album World's a Stage through an American label in 2012.

After life gave him a loving wife and a wonderful son, he rekindled his inner fire. In late 2024, he started a one-man auteur music project, an experience completely new to him.

Finished in the summer of 2026, the album Beyond the Dead Bound is the first piece of shit from The Monolith Man project, which Umut will continue for a lifetime. Bon appétit.
