For Monochrome's purposes we're talking about a melting pot of abrasive and extreme music, drawn from the metal, punk, noise and experimental scenes. We're leaning into speed, discordance and excess. 

While you will certainly find a good deal of metal on the bill, let's not let "genre" get in the way of a good time. We want Monochrome to be a broad church, welcoming folks that might not necessarily feel at home at a conventional "metalfest". 

Ugly music for all: no battle-jacket required.

My name's Rich. I've been involved in running Supernormal Festival in Oxfordshire since 2011, and I put on occasional experimental music nights (including Mouthfeel) and recently formed a programming collective at the Cube called Margin Forever
