Monotheist is an American death metal band from Orlando, Florida. Former vocalist JJ Polachek is in the bands 7 Horns 7 Eyes and Ovid’s Withering, of which, 7H7E, ranked their album on No. 1 on Metalsucks.com by Vince Neilsteins’ Top 15 albums, and therefore stated that Monotheist is very similar to 7 Horns 7 Eyes.
