BIO
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 metal to a laser-focused old-school death metal ensemble, while hinting at a subtle tech-death injection in their compositions, a trend that will continue to expand into the band’s future releases.
“He Who Kills,” released on August 22nd, 2025, explores a classic death metal topic: serial killers. Through the eyes of humanity’s darker side, Monoliyth provides a grim insight into the depraved, focusing on killers as a perspective rather than singling out a specific event, scenario, or historical murderer.
This glimpse into dystopia is expressed through 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 fueled classic thrash metal bands like Kreator, Metallica, and Megadeth, fused with boundary-pushing death metal giants such as Morbid Angel, Suffocation, and Death.
These inspirations have been fed into the Monoliyth meat grinder, resulting in 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 the distinct sonic massacre that is Monoliyth....
