discography:

Nordic dark metal band Monolicht has released single ‘Frozen Child‘, marking the band’s darkest and deepest musical expression to date.
The track fuses the bleakest tones of melodic dark metal and black metal, creating a cold, almost paralyzing atmosphere.
‘Frozen Child‘ is based on true events from a small town in Northern Finland during the 1990s.
The narrative unfolds like the polar night – gradually deepening, stark, and emotionally raw.
The song culminates in a hypnotic finale where time itself seems to stop.
Earlier on in 2025, Monolicht had also released the single ‘Colossus‘.
The song is a dive into the band’s world, where northern mysticism and stories of the wilderness come to life.
Drawing heavily on Nordic myths and legends, Monolicht’s music creates a soundscape that transports the listener through dark forests and frozen rivers.
‘Colossus‘ musically takes the listener into an environment of massive, collapsing structures where power and vulnerability meet.
The band’s guitarist Mikko Kupiainen comments:
“The band’s music is a journey to the northern wilderness. Musically, there is a lot of natural melancholy, sadness and coldness. Production-wise, we wanted to keep the sound alive, so we played the song practically live without any clips or edits, and the sound engineer Tom Brooke made sure that the band’s own sound came through strongly.”
Monolicht is known for their intense live performances and their ability to create profound and emotional soundscapes.
With this releases, the band once again showcases their ability to combine heavy melodies and lush vocals with mythical stories.
