Monte Luna is an American sludge/doom duo hailing from Austin, Texas, known for their powerful and atmospheric blend of heavy metal. Formed in 2015 by James Clarke (guitar/vocals) and Phil Hook (drums), Monte Luna quickly carved out a niche for themselves within the metal community with their crushing riffs, pensive melodies, and expansive song structures. The band's self-titled debut album, "Monte Luna," released in 2017, laid the foundation for their dark and hypnotic sound—an introspective journey through gloomy landscapes sculpted by distortion and raw emotion.

Through subsequent releases, including "The Water Hag" and "Drowners' Wives" in 2019, Monte Luna continued to refine their style, fostering a brooding and otherworldly ambiance that is as captivating as it is heavy. Their work exhibits a profound sense of storytelling, each album often playing out like a harrowing odyssey. The band's ability to experiment within the confines of the sludge and doom genres keeps their sound fresh and engaging. One of their latest offerings, "Cvlt Nation Presents: Monte Luna Mind Control Broadcast," showcases their enduring commitment to pushing the boundaries of their music, combining sludgy riffs with a sense of doom-laden grandiosity. Monte Luna's visceral, yet thought-provoking soundscapes have garnered them a growing fanbase and a reputation for crafting music that lingers long after the last note fades.
