RED SEAS FIRE – EXPOSITION

  I can’t help feeling just a little bit sorry for Red Seas Fire. As it stands, their main claim to fame is that their old guitarist now plays bass for Periphery - but it is to their credit that they have taken his departure in good grace, and promptly set about reinventing themselves as a [...]

GLOBE & BEAST – GRANDFATHER’S AXE

It is typically only with the vaunted clarity of hindsight that the boundaries of any genre’s so-called “golden age” become well-defined; when the distance of decades allows for the kind of sober reflection required to plot the full arc of a given artistic movement. Ongoing art forms can be frustratingly resistant to cogent analysis; without [...]

Stone Temple Pilots Has Chester Bennington As Their New Vocalist Stone Temple Pilots are a rarity in the chaotic industry of rock & roll.

CALM BEFORE THE STORM: BATMAN: ARKHAM ORIGINS TRAILER

Nerd-boner well and truly popped over Batman: Arkham Origins Aside from metal (obviously), Batman is one of the biggest uniting factors amongst the staff of The Monolith. Be it the movies, the comics/graphic novels, or the more recent video game successes, there’s at least something that most of us like, and a few of us [...]

IRON INQUISITIONS: WHAT COVERS HAVE TURNED YOU ON TO AN ARTIST?

Note to self: Googling “turned on” throws up some very bizarre results… If you’re thinking “WTF?!”, then welcome to my world… Last week saw the release of an album most of you probably won’t be interested in. Titled American Love, it’s by the Bostonian “post-R&B” band Bad Rabbits. Now, despite my love of all genres [...]
