Millennium is the second studio album by death metal band Monstrosity, released in 1996 and produced by Scott Burns. Millenium is the band's final album to include George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher on lead vocals, as he went on to join fellow death metal band Cannibal Corpse.
The album was released on Conquest Music, Inc worldwide and licensed to Nuclear Blast for a European release. It was later licensed by Hammerheart Records (Netherlands) and re-released in the early 2000s for Europe.
On Millennium, Monstrosity showcases a more technical approach to death metal than on their previous release, Imperial Doom. The guitar work in particular is markedly more advanced than on their debut, utilizing jarring dynamic changes such as quick jumps from tremolo picking to rapid power chord changes. The album is considered by many to be a landmark in technical death metal.
