Ontario, Canada-based gothic rock / symphonic metal musician Cecile Monique independently issued debut solo full-length studio album Genesis on November 2nd, 2018.
“This album is definitely the culmination of several years’ worth of writing and planning, and I’m so thrilled to finally realize my goal of releasing a full-length album of my own original material,” commented Cecile Monique. “While it was extremely humbling to reach so many new listeners with my Rammstein cover this year (‘Reise, Reise’), I still felt very strongly about ending the year with new, original music, and I really hope that Genesis will give listeners a feel for where I’m at stylistically and how my music has hopefully evolved over the years.”
Genesis, which was supported by the Region of Waterloo Arts Fund, was written, arranged and co-produced by Cecile Monique. The outing was tracked, mixed and co-produced by Kevin Dietz, meanwhile, who has worked with Cecile Monique on all of her previous releases to date. Lyrically speaking, Genesis examines themes of post-apocalyptic rebirth, loss, and survival.
“My hope is that this album will appeal equally to fans of rock, metal and classical music, and that the universality of the theme of the album will reach as many people as possible. This album is about new beginnings and inner strength, so I hope that it has a message that all listeners can relate to and resonate with.”
