Megalithic comprises of two men from opposite ends of the world, brought together in the most unlikely of destinations by a mutual love for all things music. Alex McDonnell, and Mehzeb Chowdhury formed the band in the summer of 2014 in the wintry hollows of County Durham, with a vision to capturing the magic of independent music that was such a hallmark of the late 1980s and 1990s. McDonnell’s signature vocals and demiurgic playing style were an instant match to Chowdhury’s hard-hitting, head-banging riffs, and cerebral lyrics.
The two men worked through the harsh winters, and abridged summers for four long years, culminating in their first album, The Unnamed, releasing in early 2018 on 150 digital platforms, including iTunes, Spotify, Google Play, Tidal, Deezer, Amazon Music, 8Tracks, iHeartRadio and Napster.
