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 catalog and aggressive live shows. Monoliyth has evolved from classic thrash to a laser-focused old-school death metal vision, while hinting on a subtle tech-death injection as part of the compositions; a trend that will continue to expand into the band’s future releases. 

“He Who Kills”, set for release in 2025, is an album based on a classic death metal topic staple: serial killers. Looking through the eyes of humanity’s darker side, Monoliyth’s grim insight on the depraved, is set on killers as a perspective, rather than singling out a specific event, scenario or historical murderer. 

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 moody diminished-scale 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 Deathmetal. It is these aspects, propelled by a brutal deliverance of guttural vocals, that has forged what is distinctly the sonic massacre that is Monoliyth….
