Monocyte is a concept album, a soundtrack to the comic book of the same name, published by IDW Publishing. The CD is raw, dark, and difficult, presenting a vision of the Monocyte brand that builds on the comic's energy. RIYL Portishead, DJ Shadow, and Massive Attack. More about Monocyte, the comic: "Two warring immortal races rule a scarred world where time has no meaning. Death (Azrael) sits impotent, quietly planning his restoration. He summons Monocyte, a forgotten necromancer who long ago chose sleep in his failed quest to die. With a fatal pact sealed, Monocyte strikes out as Azrael's vicious proxy."
