About the Albums

Sirene de ambulanță (2020) – The debut album, a sonic journal of urban anxiety and tension. Its existential themes unfold through a mix of punk and lucid melancholy, with choruses that don’t shy away from going deep.

MANTRE (2023) – A conceptual work, structured like a three-act tragedy. From summer ecstasy to suburban depression, MONOKROM weaves a cohesive, visceral, and mature musical universe.

About MONOKROM
