The Auckland rock and metal scenes have been flourishing in recent years with music created by musicians passionate for hard vocals, chugging guitars, head-banging beats and thundering basslines.
Although heavy metal can be loud and aggressive, it can also be quite melodic and lyrically interesting. Such metal bands are gaining momentum - such is the case with Monolith.
The four-piece band, Monolith was formed in 2019, before the great COVID 19 lockdowns in Auckland. They have their own signature sound that combines classic metal with hard rock, hardcore, groove and thrash metal and metalcore.
