Mono is a renowned artist known for their unique blend of post-rock and shoegaze music. With a career spanning over two decades, Mono has captivated audiences around the world with their emotive and atmospheric soundscapes. Their discography includes critically acclaimed albums such as "Hymn to the Immortal Wind" and "Requiem for Hell." Mono's music evokes powerful emotions, taking listeners on a journey through melancholic melodies and soaring crescendos. Their live performances are nothing short of awe-inspiring, leaving audiences in a state of transcendence. Mono continues to push boundaries and redefine the genre, solidifying their status as one of the most influential artists in contemporary music.

For two decades, MONO have defined and refined a kind of orchestral rock that is as emotional as it is experimental. Meanwhile, their live concerts are typically more subdued in instrumentation – and more supercharged in volume and voltage. Rarely is there the opportunity to combine those two experiences. In their 20-year history as a band, MONO have presented no more than a half-dozen live concerts featuring the support of an orchestra. Such events are not only unusual – they are also unforgettable. 

Beyond the Past • Live in London with the Platinum Anniversary Orchestra documents MONO’s extraordinary performance from the Beyond the Past event that celebrated the band’s 20th anniversary, which took place at the historic Barbican Centre in London, England on December 14, 2019. For that once-in-a-lifetime event, MONO selected a memorable lineup of old and new friends, including fellow Japanese underground icons, Boris and Envy, as well as French post-metal legends, Alcest, and UK collaborators A.A. Williams and Jo Quail. The event culminated with MONO performing with a full orchestra to a rapt, sold-out audience of 2,000.

Playing through a two-hour set that touches on the band’s entire history, the sheer euphoria and dynamic resonance that engulfed the massive crowd was captured in brilliant detail by MONO’s live sound engineer, Matt Cook. Meticulously mastered by Bob Weston and presented here in its entire two-hour glory, Beyond the Past is one of the most essential MONO recordings. With the LP versions packaged in a triple gatefold with accompanying 40-page photo book, this is the rare document of an event that is an event in and of itself.
