Monstrous doom-laden riffs and epically drawn out songs are a staple of Monarch's diet. They are a band that refuses to alter their sound or style to please anyone but themselves, with songs sometimes lasting so long you might only hear one or two tracks in a set. This does not result in compromise from the band, however, as Bassist MicHell explains.
"We'll think that we're going to have a half hour or 40 minute pga tour golf courses for pc set and we'll end up playing for 70 minutes." When asked if the band literally plays one song within a set, MicHell goes on, "it usually does happen, just the one song."
With songs so abnormally long, even by Opeth standards, I probed MicHell for an answer as to how the band decides when it is time to leave the colossal wall of amps in the rehearsal space and enter the studio to record Monarchs signature sound.
"The whole sound aspect, the sonic aspect and the music is very important to Monarch, we can't really work with the songs until we're playing pga tour golf courses for pc in front of walls of loud amps. We need to see what needs to go now, what needs to feedback, that sort of stuff. We need to tour songs before we actually get a feel for them."
"I could go on forever: Whitehorse, Agonhymn, Hotel City Wrecking Traders, Encircling Sea- there's way too many," the bassist cheerfully laughs. "Pisschrist is one of my all-time favourite bands. I'm really getting into Kromosom as well." (Yeap from Pisschrist's current band).
MicHell's knowledge of the Melbourne music scene was overwhelming as he also sounded off various historical Melbourne venues such as the (now non-existent) Arthouse and The Tote, which he was excited to re-visit.
As well as a vibrant taste for punk, Monarch are heavily influenced by metal legends pga tour golf courses for pc Black Sabbath. pga tour golf courses for pc With an album title that directly references the band, Sabbat Noir , French for Black Sabbath, they are clearly not trying to hide the influence.
"It's primordial. It's probably the first band ever to influence Shiran (guitarist) and myself. When we were 11-12 listening to Black Sabbath tapes, pga tour golf courses for pc it was like the slowest, most evil music we'd ever heard, and that will always remain [as part of the Monarch sound]."
MicHell could barely contain his excitement for the upcoming tour to Australia with Saint Vitus. Australia's reputation as a beer drinking country is not lost on the bassist as the axeman's eagerness was partly due to MicHell's fondness of Australian beer, naming Cooper's Pale Ale as his favourite drop from our wonderful land of finely crafted beverages and extensive beer guts.
