Can somebody help me to understand 大厳? I'm not quite sure how we're getting "monolith". Err well, I think I know how we're getting it, but... it's not right. The character is 厳, not 巌. They look extremely similar, but 厳 is gen, and it means strict/stern. 巌 is gan, and it means rock. But track 16 doesn't use gan, it uses gen. If it were gan, we could say it's a "large rock" which, sure, a monolith is a large rock. But... the words aren't exactly interchangeable, are they?
Honestly, the compound 大厳 makes no sense to me. 焦土の大厳... "The scorched earth's big stern"...? I'd love somebody's wisdom right now!
