UK based Monuments continue their work at the forefront of the progressive metal scene. The music combines aggressive angular grooves interwoven with spacious melodic ambience that is punchy yet progressive. The broad vocal spectrum adds a new dimension to their complex musical landscape, merging tight, chaotic grooves, screams and cinematic choruses with hooks that will taunt you for hours. THE AMANUENSIS, at least the title, was inspire by author David Mitchell's novel, CLOUD ATLAS. The complex story lines are the perfect analog for Monments. Musically, the group weave in and out of themes, motifs and professor-like note calculations with graceful ease. With a new vocalist and a new album in THE AMANUENSIS, Monuments are taking progressive metal to the next level.
