Monolith launched on to the Australian festival circuit in 2022 to incredible success. Scenestr remarked, “If I’m asked if the festival was good – that’d be a big hell yes! Monolith’s Brisbane leg was a crushing success” whilst Wall of Sound commented that “Leaving Monolith on that high, felt like leaving a church service, where you were praising at the altar of prog-rock/metal”.
Monolith is thrilled to announce its triumphant return, bringing an unbeatable curation of international names and Australian favourites to venues around the country this November. The festival features Coheed & Cambria as headliners, with Periphery, Leprous, Intervals, Novelists and Silver Fang rounding out the bill. Alongside the incredible line-up will be workshops, panels, market stalls and DJ’s to further enhance the festival experience for Australian prog fans.
Each Saturday, HEAVY will profile one of the bands playing to bring you up to speed on what to expect, starting today with Silver Fang.

Fronted by Stephanie Jessica Rose, the band brings together elements of gothic, metalcore, and electronic music to create a unique sonic landscape that resonates with audiences far and wide.
Silver Fang’s debut EP, Labyrinth, showcases the band’s dynamic range and innovative spirit. With seven singles with additional programming by Callan Orr (Dream on Dreamer), as well as several alternate versions, including collaborations with producer Misstiq, formerly of Earth Caller. Silver Fang has demonstrated their commitment to accessibility and creativity. These alternative versions offer fresh perspectives on their music, inviting a broader audience into their world.
Silver Fang has garnered praise from industry insiders and media outlets alike. Triple J’s Dave Ruby Howe hailed them as “Australia’s next best heavy band,” while their tracks, including Cross-Talk, The Blind, and Horus, have earned regular rotation on Triple J Unearthed and Short.Fast.Loud. Their presence on Apple Music’s editorial playlists and Spotify’s user-generated playlists further solidifies their growing influence in the metalcore scene.
