MONOMYTH, unleashed from The Netherlands, is the hero’s journey; An epic journey with an unknown conclusion. The five who explore and expand the boundaries of their own musical universe. Firmly rooted in Space, Trance and Krautrock, the band leans heavily on a solid foundation of drums and bass guitar, while adding guitar, keyboards and textures layer upon layer. MONOMYTH will drag you inside their cosmic playground. Enter an arena where there is no more time or space, simply the vacuum in which communication is operated on a higher level. You can enter in two ways . . . simply by closing your eyes and letting the instrumental music transport you, or with eyes wide open as you descend into the mind staggering light show.
MONOMYTH stands for “thrilling instrumental soundscapes”, a rollercoaster ride in which the listener can lose themselves. It is the sound of five people searching for their musical boundaries and then moving beyond them. Monomyth transports you to another world, a place that feels both new and familiar. In the ranks, we find five people from different creative and musical backgrounds. MONOMYTHs music is a complete experience, a collective statement by five like-minded identities.
The MONOMYTH sound contains all the ingredients of rock & roll, but in a totally unique way. The band wants to draw their audience into a trance, caused by shifting patterns, repetitions and drones. The result is a stirring brew with links to PINK FLOYD, HAWKIND and TOOL, but with the innovative force of modern techno and ambient. It is rock you can dance to and lose yourself in. The journey and the adventure are always centre stage. With their expressive sound, the music by this collective would not be out of place in a psychedelic road movie.
Today's tune "LHC" is taken from latest album Exo, was released in Europe on 18-03-2016 via Suburban Records.

Black Space Riders is a band thatI foundatSpader Ess webpage, aguy whovery oftenfindssome interestingmusictoshare.
In the fading last winter nights of 2008 JE, SLI, SAQ and CRIP entered a musty and mouldy basement for the first time together: The plan was simple: Jamming ... loud and heavy, rediscovering that nearly lost feeling of getting impassioned by a pushing, pulling, droning and moving wall of self-created sound. It worked!
In 2010 the self-titled debut-album was released. "Black Space Riders" triggered enthusiastic reviews around the globe and the band played a run of sweaty shows in Europe.
In 2012 the band released it´s second album "Light is the new black". It showed even more influences and variety than the debut and brought the band many new followers around the globe.
The following shows in 2012/13 featured a new bandmember: SEB, who had contributed additional background-vocals to "Light is the new black" was presented as a second lead-vocalist.
Their latest album "D:REI" are Black Space Riders even more colorful, louder, softer, harder, atmospheric, gripping, and above all exalted!
