About: Formed in 1998 by guitarist Mick Barr in Melbourne, MONOLIYTH has maintained a relentless dedication to extreme music across decades. Evolving from classic thrash to old-school death metal with hints of technical death, their music delivers aggressive, complex, and boundary-pushing compositions. He Who Kills explores the darker side of humanity, focusing on the psychology of serial killers as a lens into depravity, rather than specific historical events. The album blends pounding rhythms, menacing instrumentation, unnerving tension, and cathartic release, fueled by guttural vocals and diminished harmonies. Drawing influence from thrash legends like Kreator, Metallica, Megadeth, and death metal icons such as Morbid Angel, Suffocation, and Death, MONOLIYTH crafts a sonic assault that is uniquely their own. |
