In late February 2010 female fronted, French doom quartet Monarch will be once again gracing our shores, they'll be touring nationally with Olympian atmospheric black metal trio Wolves in the Throne Room (Southern Lord records).
Visit www.myspace.com/heathenskulls for more details....
As a pre-tour warm up event, MONARCH are doing a special headline show on Wednesday 17th of February at the Ding Dong Lounge in Melbourne to launch their new LP ''Sabat Noir''!
Supports on the night are Hotel Wrecking City Traders, Agonhymn & Encircling Sea.
Entry: $15 / Doors: 8pm
Recorded in late December in Bayonne, France, and featuring Robert MacManus (ex-Grey Daturas) on drums, Sabat Noir is one 30 minute long track thats been split into two parts and spread across both sides of the Sabat Noir LP.
This is some of the darkest funeral doom that Monarch's ever committed to wax, it's way heavier, more textural, melodic and sonically dense.
Released on Heathen Skulls, Sabat Noir has been pressed onto 170 gram wax, is limited to 400 hand numbered LP's and will have slightly different artwork to that of the European pressing, due out in early April for their European Tour.
Was a very fuckin loud and fun show, being a wed night and all. Thanks to those who rocked up, probably not many from M&N I don't think. Don't miss em in Sydney on Saturday , Mon. take a spare pair of knickers.
For all of you that got to see MONARCH's surreal low end funeral doom attack in support of Wolves in the Throne Room, and liked what you heard, you need to buy a copy of their new LP SABBAT NOIR. The piece of music they played live on this tour was this LP in it's entirety, start to finish. SABBAT NOIR was supposed to be released to coincide with the tour but got delayed six weeks due to the lame efforts of Zenith Records in Melbourne, don't get me started.

Amazing last night. Didn't play an actual drum beat in their entire set. Crushed me.
the secret show was great fun. looking fwd to saturday.
LAST SHOW OF THE TOUR THIS SAT AT THE ARTY COME GET FUCKIN DESTROYED.
if u ask kindly, Monarch may do cover 'I Got Erection'.
Pretty sure DTBM will be on first tomorrow.
Is billed as Hotel Wrecking first but there's been a switcheroo.... I think.
Can't fucking wait!!!!
kind of interesting that no one here gives a shit about metal
yeah thats correct Blood 7, we're going on after Dad They tonight. Can't wait for some Broke Me action.
They said haven't taught the drummer anything other than Die Tonight when I asked them to play one of their cover songs.
they played teh canckill theme song the other night. stephane told me he isn't really a drummer, but a black metal guitarist.
that should have read 'candykill' theme song.
