The group was founded in 2009. Two well-known Estonian bands VIGILA MORTUM (death metal) and MONSTERA (thrash metal) decided to move away from stylized format frames and make old groove metal. Unfortunately, the project lasted about a year. And now, after 5 years, the musicians reunited and the MONARCH was reborn!

 

And then, having the same line-up, the same genre, years of hard work and dedication were spent on new and old material. Almost the whole of 2014 was spent on composing and arranging the concert program.

Since 2015, Monarch has started a very intense live activity. Not only the band members took part in the organization of the concerts, but also our old friend and responsible person Anna Kalinina (concert promoter - ART CLUB RO - RO), who later agreed to join the project as a manager.

With her help, Monarch played a number of concerts, including a solo concert and a performance at the Riga club "Melne Piekdiena".

After half a year of live activity, Monarch firmly set to work in the studio, where they recorded their first EP, consisting of 4 tracks. As a result of fruitful work in Stone Oil Studio, the EP POSSESSED was released by the end of 2015. After that We signed the contract with Sepulchral Silence (sepulchralsilence.com) for promotion EP Possessed.

  Immediate promotion of the CD started on radio (RADIO 2, RADIO 4) and Estonian television (ETV+). Events were held in Russia (St. Petersburg), on Radio Imagine.

But in 2016 Monarch left the stage again. And only in 2020 the band became active. The group expanded to five members
