| This account is not run by monster x, nor do they have any thing to do with this account. Monster X were a straight-edge hardcore band from Albany, New York in the mid-90s who eschewed the genre's typical moshcore sound in favor of harsh, guttural grindcore. They were also notable for their thoughtful lyrics, which tackled political and philosophical questions as well as the personal quest to live drug-free. In particular, their support for drug legalization and their firm anti-religious stance set them apart from the straight-edge mainstream. Their recorded output consisted primarily of compilation tracks and split 7" EPs with other bands, which have been collected on the CD "Indoctrination: Complete Discography". Former members of Monster X run the Gloom and Hater of God record labels and have played in notable hardcore bands including Devoid of Faith, Dropdead, Das Oath, and others. |

Straight edge has never been "the straight edge", it is not a goal to be attained, it is not an entity to be worshiped. It is personal, it is individualistic. It symbolizes all of our ability to look deep inside ourselves - beneath the fashion, beneath the music, beneath the social & cultural indoctrination and discover who we are, free from outside influence. Straight edge is not a source of empowerment in and of itself. It is only a starting point of understanding what oppresses our thoughts and our actions. It is the beginning of a self evaluation on ones own terms, that transcends the accepted standards of our material reality. Record Label: Hater of God Type of Label: Indie |
