1) A solo project of the Belgian electronic music artist & producer Eric Van Wonterghem (ex-Klinik, member of Sonar and Insekt) and started back in 1997. Features a mixture of dark ambient, industrial, and experimental ebm sounds mixed with lots of outboard analog gear.
2) The post-metal Monolith hails from South Philadelphia. Monolith will lull you with its complex and dark instrumentation and then hammer you when you are weak and vulnerable. Epic, expansive sludge metal with post-rock dynamics, reminiscent of bands like Neurosis, Isis, Mouth of the Architect, and Mogwai.
3) Electronic music artist David Barnard who signed to Rephlex records. Warm, fat and beautiful sounds collide with TR beats, reminiscent of AFX, The Tuss, and DMX Krew. Despite rumours, Monolith is not another RDJ moniker.
4) A rap crew from Toronto, Canada. Features acts such as I.R.S., Dan-E-O, Nish Rawks, Grimace Love, and WIO-K.
5) A Japanese visual kei band formed in 2006, with a sound ranging from fresh calming pop to hard rock with heavy metal undertones. Their music can be surprisingly catchy while maintaining a punk rock feel and keeping to a classic visual kei foundation. It may also be tagged as ＭｏＮｏＬｉｔｈ.

16) MØHϴɅITX, an industrial metal project was founded in Niš by Petar Jovanovic and Uros Jovanovic in September 2009. The basic idea is to make music that would rely more on sound, noise/effects and (poly)rhythm than actual lyrics. After 2 years of slow progress, the line-up grew from 2 to 5 members, thus becoming a full fledged band. Their first album release, Fragments, was recorded in 2012.

Furikaereba soko ni anata ga ite
Kawaberi ni sou kaze no uta wo kikeba

The lyrics to Monolith's "Fairy-tale" suggest a longing for a better future and a sense of frustration with reality, particularly in regards to love and self-image. The first verse speaks of hearing a song in the wind that seems like a lie, and mentions hiding one's tears and feeling incomplete. The second verse features a reference to the word "rashisa" (roughly meaning "lack of refinement"), indicating a sense of feeling judged or inferior. The third verse features a plea for help and an image of riding a white horse (which could be interpreted as a reference to purity or innocence). In the chorus, the singer describes themselves as a writer of old love stories who is trying to live in the present, but finds it difficult to let go of the past.
