Francoska doom metal zasedba Monolithe sporoča, da je klaviaturist Matthieu Marchand zapustil band. Monolithe so tako trenutno v iskanju zamenjave. Izjava banda ob razhodu s klaviaturistom:

Letošnji Cahn Fest, ki naj bi se odvijal 28. in 29. junija v Trbovljah, je žal odpovedan. Kot razlog so organizatorji navedli prenizko finančno podporo oz. premalo prodanih kart. Prihodnost tega domačega festivala žal ni znana.

»You want Metal? You've got Metal! "Cemetery Rats" is an anthem for all the metalheads and rockers, the kids that society deems the 'weirdos and freaks'! Fuck society! This is a song for everyone that likes to hang out in the graveyard, listening to metal and loving life as the underdog! This is doom, thrash and punk all rolled into one, like the mighty Black Sabbath colliding with classic era-Celtic Frost and Discharge! We are the heavy metal underground, we are the CEMETARY RATS!«
