THE REFLECTING GRAVE

Emerging from the thriving New England underground metal scene, Fallen Monarch has proudly released their first full-length album The Reflecting Grave, an oppressively bleak fusion of deathcore brutality and black metal atmosphere firmly rooted in despair, chaos, and intensity.

Formed in 2020 during the height of the global pandemic, Fallen Monarch began carving their identity in the shadows of isolation. Their 2021 debut EP Turmoil introduced the metal community to their signature blend of towering blast beats, searing dissonance, and emotionally raw performances, earning comparisons to genre heavyweights like Lorna Shore, The Black Dahlia Murder, and Fit For An Autopsy. Since then, the band has built a loyal regional following through their intense live shows and dark, cathartic lyricism exploring themes of grief, nihilism, and mortality with unmatched ferocity.

Produced by Shane Frisby (The Ghost Inside, Revocation, Bury Your Dead), The Reflecting Grave is an odyssey through bleak, aggressive soundscapes anchored by intentional songwriting and a clear artistic vision. The album’s lead single, "Lineage," is accompanied by a haunting new music video directed by Anthony Jarvis (Killswitch Engage, Agnostic Front, Death Ray Vision), bringing the record’s existential themes to life through cinematic storytelling.

The Reflecting Grave is now available on Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp, YouTube Music, and all other major streaming platforms. Physical records are available via the band’s official website and Bandcamp page, and Fallen Monarch will continue to perform selectively across New England and the Northeast U.S. in support of the album.
