MONOLIYTH
Aussie Death Metal
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 2021, is an album based on that classic death metal topical staple: serial killers. Looking through the eyes of humanity’s darker side, Monoliyth’s grim insight on thedepraved, digging into the putrid truth as opposed to singling out a specific event, scenario or historical murderer. This glimpse into dystopia.

The Black Heart Death Cult are psyched to announce hitting the road in July to support their “Sonic Mantras” album launch, recently released through Kozmik Artifactz. Sydney, Katoomba, Hobart, Adelaide, Bendigo & Melbourne get prepared for a full frontal fuzz freakout. ‘After releasing their self titled debut in 2019, The Black Heart Death Cult have fast established themselves as one of Melbourne’s premier psychedelic rock outfits.
A heavy blend of psych, shoegaze & drone, the band has garnered much attention within the Australian psych community especially with their highly visual live shows.
‘Sonic Mantras’ itself is an immersion into their distinctive drone filled universe of verby gloom. The result is an album that draws the listener in, sits them down then proceeds along a cosmic path of brain melting”.
See you in space.

Jack Harlon & The Dead Crows announce their Australian tour after the release of their sophomore album ‘The Magnetic Ridge’. – Melbourne, Victoria.
The band will be setting out on their Australian album release tour aptly dubbed ‘The Magnetic Ridge Tour’ from the 30th of May 2021.
Jack Harlon & The Dead Crows have been active in Psych/Doom scene since 2015.
The band originally began as a bedroom project of singer and guitarist Tim Coutts-Smith.
JHATDC’s music touches on influences of psych rock, fuzz tones and spaghetti western films.
Throughout their career they have toured Australia multiple times and performed with acts such as Greenleaf (Sweden), Wo Fat (USA), Hobo Magic, Comacozer and Holy Serpent.
Jack Harlon’s music has been described as
“A soundtrack to a Tarantino movie set in the landscape of an outlaw’s
travels across the barren desert, high on peyote and searching for a way back
to planet earth. A heavy, trippy, fuzzy record full of bluesy doom and hooligan
twang.” – Jay Morgan – High Desert valley Radio
‘The Magnetic Ridge’ is the long awaited follow up to the band’s debut release ‘Hymns’ which reached #14 on the Doom Charts worldwide. All of the band’s music delves into the trials and tribulations of a drug addicted western outlaw ‘Jack Harlon’ who is questioning the reality of the experiences placed before him.
‘Rat Poisoning’ is the first of the singles for The Magnetic Ridge. It is a 6 and a half minute jam-track about living, and feeling like a rat while trying to create something beautiful.
Album Reviews:
“Coming 3 years after acclaimed debut album ‘Hymns’, this album sees the band expand their gloomy style of music. The band play a different style of Psych Rock, Doom and Stoner Rock with a slight “Americana” and Experimental edge to their psyche.” – Steve Howe – Outlaws Of The Sun
Been waiting for this and it didn’t disappoint. There’s some All Them
Witches vibes on this one but Jack Harlon really come into their own when they
stomp on that fuzz box and let it rip. The perfect mix of chill and LOUD” –
Jonny Pirie – Hour Of The Riff.
