Monks Of Mellonwah are a Sydney-based act dubbed the ‘International Rock Band of the Year’ at the 2012 LA Music Awards. Sky & The Dark Night is a three-part song cycle beginning with a Lord Of The Rings-worthy instrumental piece and ending with subterranean pulse of acid house beats. Sandwiched in between is a disappointing alt-rock ballad combining Silverchair’s sad dirge stylings with a freewheeling prog guitar solo, ending with a Metallica-influenced metal crescendo. A big concept, beautifully executed
