Monoliyth

Formed in 1998 in Melbourne Australia, Monoliyth was founded by guitarist Mick Barr. The intensity and passion for extreme music has remained consistent throughout their catalogue and aggressive live shows. Monoliyth has evolved from classic thrash, to a laser-focused old-school death metal ensemble, while incorporating tech and slam nuance's into the compositions, a trend that will continue to expand into the band’s future releases.

“He Who Kills”, set for release in 2025 through Wormhole Death Records, is based on the dark side of humanity. Looking through the eyes of serial killers, as a perspective and grim insight into the depraved.
​This glimpse into dystopia is played out over the pounding rhythms, a combination of menacing and intensely orchestrated instrumental passages coupled with unnerving tension and cathartic release, aggressive hooks and diminished based harmonies. Monoliyth is driven by the same thirst for hostility that powered the classic thrash bands like Kreator, Metallica, and Megadeth, fused with boundary-pushing death metal giants, like Morbid angel, Suffocation and Death.

These inspirations have been fed into the Monoliyth meat grinder, bursting forth a rancid gruel of odd-time signatured bludgeoning Death metal. It is these aspects, propelled by a brutal deliverance of guttural vocals, that has forged what is distinctly the sonic massacre that is Monoliyth....
