The Mon is a solo side project composed by Urlo of the Italian Psychedelic Doom band Ufomammut. Not too dissimilar to his main band as the project does elicit a psychedelic doom sound but with a heavier emphasis on synth works and ambiance.

History

Details on The Mon first surfaced in May 2018 when the project was announced, revealing the first two songs in "Relics" and "Souloop". In THE MON‘s own words, the goal is “to reach the boundaries of a spiritual soundscape in which the music becomes purification and atonement, a way to bring out to the world inside my soul. The Mon for me is a journey through the mind, and one of personal discovery of the relation between evil and good – that starts from the name The Mon, like “Demon” but also like “the Monk” – to reach landscapes of sound that enable me, and potentially others to enter into the level of consciousness in a cathartic way.”

A video for the song "Her" would be unveiled in July as The Mon's debut album Doppelleben would be announced for a November release. The release date for Doppelleben would later be revealed to be 8 November 2018, with a full album stream available by 6 November.
