The following press release was also issued about the band: "Monolyth claims it's sound to be a diverse and noxious mixture of many of the group's main inspirations such as Lamb Of God, Meshuggah, Gojira, Machine Head, Devin Townsend, and many others.

"The band was formed by guitarist Tiago Martins and drummer Victor Butuc around 2009. After playing together and jamming for some months, the search for a lead vocalist started and ended up with (MP) Marcelo taking the place, followed by their first bass player Pedro Maia and guitarist Gonçalo Lemos.

"Following Maia's departure in February 2012, João Mota joined band. After playing the songs that would end up in their first album for about a year and a half, they experienced yet another line-up change and David Alves becomes the band's new bass player in July 2013."
