"Earths Hum Vols. I – V are unfortunately not recordings of any mysterious phenomena, but they are manipulated, deconstructed, and destroyed field recordings of the areas around me, filtered through walls of distortion and modulation."

The incredible Altar of Waste Records has released Earths Hum Vol. II.
Label owner and all around incredible artist Cory Strand had this to say about it:
The second volume of an ongoing five-volume project dedicated to the HUM, Monuments Are No Good To The Dead's "Earth's Hum, Vol. II" is a devastating suite of mid-range static abuse and perfectly engineered walls of crunchy belligerence, staking claim in a space that I've heard few HNW acts work in before. The sounds here are jagged and knifelike, crumbling shards of mountain raining across a lightning-stained sky, falling into ravaged pockets of distressed and choking soil. The song of the earth is diseased and loping towards inconsequence, forgettability. Soon there will be naught but ash but before that great blank there shall be a reaping, a vision of scythes in the sky brought to life in full bloody and visceral exposition. Grind yourself into dust and ferment deep in the earth.
Based on a very real and haunting natural phenomena, MANGTTD's project gives voice to the death knells of a planet.
A more fitting and flattering description Monuments could not imagine. Along with giving meaning to the static with these words, he also helped expand the artwork into something truly befitting of the vision. Monuments can not thank him enough for his professionalism and generosity.
A copule of copies may be available here, but please support Altar of Wast by purchasing though him first here:
