Formed in Faenza (Italy) in 2016 Mondaze released its first home recorded demo at the end of 2018. Following their “Healing Dreams” demo, the band have achieved a refined and focused record that stands tall among its peers, lacing together the thick distortion-laden staples of the genre with a punch that can only be held up to hardcore, all revolving around a through line of fervor courtesy of... melencholic vocals. Late Bloom is a beautiful excursion in modern heavy guitar music, one that sits firmly between viscera and undeniably sweet auburn melancholy.
