MONDERNTE (Iceland) Touring New Zealand In October

Operating at the ritualistic nexus of black metal, avant-folk, occult rock and dark ambient, MONDERNTE has announced her debut tour of Aotearoa. The solo project of Icelandic "aural Luciferian witchcraft" practitioner S.W.R, MONDERNTE has been a productive figure in subterranean circles since first emerging in 2019, releasing 2021's long player Sacred Heart // Sacred Rage, 2022's Canticles of Ecstasy EP and a number of split releases, singles and demos. MONDERNTE's 2024 output includes a split EP with Austria's WOID, conjuring spectral atmospheres not unlike a Satanic spin on the more gothic nooks of the Xpressway roster, or even the isolationist dark-psych drama of Keiji Haino. Looks to be a mandatory occasion for local esoteric metal enthusiasts and pagan cultists ahead of Halloween — brought to you by Valhalla Touring...

Press release:

Founded in Germany in 2019, MONDERNTE is a one-person satanic musical entity based in Reykjavík, Iceland. The sole creatrix S.W.R. invokes music that oscillates between black metal, dark folk, occult rock and dark ambient, while deliberately dissolving genre boundaries in the name of Aural Luciferian Witchcraft.

After having performed her musical offerings on stage in Iceland, Switzerland and Australia since 2022, MONDERNTEs first concert tour takes her to the Antipodean lands of Australia and New Zealand, countries that are both crucial to the bands inception and history.
