Eight songs, 58 minutes. Twilight is a metal supergroup of grimm proportions: N. Imperial (Krieg, N.I.L.) - Vocals, Blake Judd (Nachtmystium) - Lead & rhythm guitars, backing vocals, Wrest (Leviathan) - Drums, bass, lead & rhythm guitars Stavros Giannopolous (Atlas Moth) - Lead & rhythm guitars, Sanford Parker (Minsk, Buried At Sea) - Mini Moog, FX, Aaron Turner (Isis) - Guitars, Effects and Vocals. Robert Lowe (Lichens, Om) makes a guest appearance on 3 tracks. This is the band's second full-length recording and the follow up to 2005's self-titled debut. Monument To Time End was written collaboratively between all six members of the current line up.

Twilight was reformed by Blake Judd and Wrest in late January of 2009. Wrest was planning a one- month work trip to Chicago (Judd's home city). The two decided to take advantage of the opportunity to do some writing and recording. After more discussion, N. Imperial was contacted and the three agreed to again work under the Twilight banner. Judd had also recently started writing for a new project with Stavros Giannopolous (The Atlas Moth) and their one joint composition thus far was added to the mix. Stavros joined as a second guitarist and writer, as the other members felt he'd bring a new dynamic and help to further expand their sound.

Sanford Parker (Minsk, Buried At Sea) runs Volume Studios, which is conveniently located six blocks from Judd's home in Chicago (where Wrest and N. Imperial were staying during the recording). The band chose to record there with Sanford behind the controls (especially after the success Judd and Parker just had with Nachtmystium's "Assassins"). Twilight also invited Sanford to contribute to the record. He wound up performing all the synth, on top of engineering the entire album.

The biggest surprise was yet to come, as Judd also found Isis main-man Aaron Turner a welcome addition to this odd marriage of musicians, engineers and all-arou.......
