The Beautiful Monument

The Beautiful Monument discuss their first new album in seven years, the real life grief behind the album, and leaving Evanescence vocalist Amy Lee on read.

In November, Chiodos return to Australian stages for the first time in over a decade.

The album is described as an “emotional rollercoaster” packed with diary entries that explore deeply personal experiences.

“We’ve taken our time to ensure the next era of The Beautiful Monument is our best yet; not only for our fans, but for us as musicians,” the band said.

Amy Lee’s distinct and powerful, yet angelic vocals wash over us before a storm of rock and roll comes crashing in.

“We are stoked to announce we will be supporting Evanescence this month for the 20th Anniversary of ‘Fallen’ Tour!”

From Kim Petras’ historic Grammys win to Boygenius’ indie-rock superstardom, 2023 has been a huge year for LGBTQIA+ music fans. Whether in the mainstream or the underground, queer music is thriving and unapologetically so. Ellie Robinson explores how it happened (and why this is just the beginning).

We SERIOUSLY cannot wait for this band to drop their next album!

How well do you know these picks?

Clean vocals? Tick. Screams? Tick. Allusions to horror films? Also, tick.
