Nothing Sacred: One of the earliest Australian bands to play thrash/speed metal, Nothing Sacred formed in Melbourne, Australia in 1983. Encouraged by the enthusiastic response to live shows, and after recording a demo, they recorded their debut EP Deathwish at York Street studios in late 1984. Released independently, the EP sold modestly well, helped by the band playing a large number of shows around Australia, and resulted in the title track "Deathwish" becoming a classic of Australian metal. An LP was released in 1988, titled Let Us Prey. Despite the songwriting and musicianship on the album. Before disbanding in 1989, Nothing Sacred's lead guitarist Mark Woolley, bassist Karl Lean and drummer Sham contributed to HOBBS ANGEL OF DEATH's early work in the late 1980s. Woolley also appeared on Hobbs' first self-titled album in 1988. Although branded as a thrash metal group, Nothing Sacred's music had more of a melodic sound, at times reminiscent of IRON MAIDEN and JUDAS PRIEST.

Monolith: Between hard rock and heavy metal - with a pinch of prog and groove metal - Monolith is all about grooving along and having a good time! They turn their love of the diversity of metal into a rocking whole and bring it across live full of energy. Monolith was founded in 2022 by Valentin Klug and Tobias Hemme. They were soon joined by Josh Wolters on bass and Andy Tesch on rhythm guitar. In April 2023, they released their first single "Monolith" with guest vocalist Nico Joerendt (Messiah's Rising). After a long search for a permanent singer, they found the final building block to complete their line-up in the fall of 2023 with Max McMillan. The first two gigs followed in 2024 at the SPH Band Contest, where they were allowed to continue in the city final and then the regional final. The recordings for the first EP are almost finished and are due to be released in 2024.
