Based in Farmingdale, New York, Monolith Zero formed in 2020 and pursue progressive metal with an emphasis on layered composition and dynamic shifts, channeling Long Island's quiet suburbs into expansive instrumental architecture.
Monolithe is a funeral doom metal band from Paris, France, active since 2003, having evolved toward melodic death and doom metal. Their pioneering approach to expansive, monolithic doom compositions has made them one of France's most respected extreme doom acts.
Monolithian is a blackened sludge metal band from Falmouth, England, formed in 2012. They fuse blackened fury with crushing sludge from the Cornish coast.
A Pennsylvania drone/doom act formed in 2017, Monolithic strip the genre down to its most elemental form — sustained tones, glacial tempos, and near-meditative repetition that collapses under its own weight.
Detroit's Monolithic Architecture arrived in 2024 with a sludge and doom sound befitting their industrial hometown — slow, corrosive riffs built like crumbling infrastructure, heavy with grime and deliberate intention.
An Oregon death metal outfit just getting started in 2026, Monolithic Terror deal in brutal, no-frills death metal aggression, carrying the Pacific Northwest underground's deep roots in extreme metal into the current decade.
Monoliths is a drone, sludge, and doom metal band from Nottingham, England, formed in 2016. They craft monolithic drone-sludge-doom from the East Midlands.
Formed by guitarist/vocalist Wallas Ribeiro, bassist Murilo da Silva, and drummer Gustavo Silveira, Monolito blends groove-heavy riffing with progressive structures and hard rock roots. Their 2023 album Voice of Rage, produced by Gustavo Vasquez at RockLab studio, showcases a denser and darker direction across eleven tracks while retaining the melodic sensibility that defines the band.
Out of Virginia Beach, Monolittisk have been practicing raw, primitive black metal since 2015 — the name (Norwegian for 'monolithic') signals the project's intent: unpolished, cold, and deliberately minimal.
