The same restless spirit.

MONSTER SURF / HOT ROD ROCK

Monster Hodaddy

Spring reverb, roaring engines, and creatures who came to party. A playful world of 1960s-inspired surf and hot rod rock, with a monster around every bend.

Theatrical heavy metal with commanding female vocals, gothic atmosphere, and defiant melodies. Thorn Communion explores identity, resistance, and the strength of women reclaiming their own stories.

Sisters of the Severed Veil introduces that world: dark, dramatic, and united by a refusal to be silenced.
