Monk is an instrumental doom rock trio from Piskopio, Syros Island, Greece, formed in the summer of 2011. The band consists of JR (guitars, effects),Woodman (bass) and Mushroom (drums, synth).Their first demo, “Ofis, the Saint Eater”, was released in 2012 in 100 CD-R copies and was distributed for free at shows.
Their debut album, “Black Earth Beneath”, was released through Fuzz Ink Records(FZZ003) on October 9, 2016. Monk invited long time friend and soundlord, Vaggelis Apostolou, to produce and record the album in the band’s own studio/temple at Piskopio — a way to capture the true essence of Monk’s ritualistic sound.
