In Stasis – MONUMENTS
RATING: 9/10 With the release of “In Stasis”, U.K. prog metal outfit MONUMENTS dish out a record that will certainly satiate lovers of the genre. The 10-track album is a feast for syncopation and groovy riffs, putting each musician’s technical skills on full display. Rounded out by raucous unclean vocals and memorable melodic hooks, their fourth full-length remains accessible to those who may not usually listen to prog and might be put off by more experimental bands. In collaborating with video game soundtrack composer Mick Gordon (“DOOM”, “Prey”, “Killer Instinct”), MONUMENTS are able to establish a cinematic and, at times, apocalyptic atmosphere that pervades the record. This influence can particularly be heard in the ominous, organ-f...
