Nocturnal Monarch
is a music and concept project created by Bryan Gribbin (aka Demiurge) and his
friend Graham Michael Watson (+GMW+Scapegoat+). This band infuses Old
School Death Metal elements from the 1990s in tribute to some of the greatest
music ever created in honor of the musicians no longer with us and the ones still
smashing it after all these years.
A modern touch of effects and production with lyrics that are insightful and will
stick with you with each listen. If you're into some Old School Death Metal
nostalgia and tones that cut to the Bone, then you've found the right band. They
aim to entertain but to always have a message in their lyrics and artwork.
Their debut single BlindMad streaming in November 2025 is a 4-minute crushing
Death Metal recipe seasoned to taste. Nocturnal Monarch is committed to
producing no less than a four-song EP by mid April 2026 with prospects of a full-
length album. Both musicians are very busy with many endeavors in the music
scene on two opposite ends of the United States but regardless, a multi-song
release will be available on all streaming platforms as well as physical vinyl and
CD with full artwork layouts. As busy as these guys are this just seemed like the
right thing to do. Keep an eye out for video as well.
Thanks for paying attention to Nocturnal Monarch and keeping the metal flowing.
A king has many challenges, but he doesn't always need to go at it alone.
Nocturnal Monarch:
Death Metal in spirit and tone is a celebration of life before the trip into the
unknown.
