3) Monarch is a 5-piece thrash metal band out of Wilkes-Barre, PA, United States. The band began in early 2004 and is currently going stronger than ever. Coming from a depressed coal area, Monarch rises above it all to bring the listener songs that are sincere, positive, and fun. Those are three adjectives not used very often to describe a metal band. However, Monarch is not your average “brutal” metal band. With influences ranging from Darkest Hour to Texas is the Reason, the band is not afraid to incorporate something new if it means that it will add substance to a song.
This is one band that puts their heart and every ounce of energy they have into everything that they do. Their brand new EP has already earned them the attention of some of the industry’s leaders. Due to legal reasons, Monarch has changed their name to “To Outlive the Beginning”. Their new Myspace page is http://www.myspace.com/tooutlivethebegin
