► Lyrics ◄
"Lavos"
Animals in a cage
Some of us filled with rage
I’ve watched the walls crumble down
As time crawls along
Echoing lies through the halls
All your sacrifice was for naught again
A revelation that cannot be undermined
No one to hear our cries
Save yourself while you can
Death towers overhead
We have been chosen, we are the catalyst
Our nature commands to forsake the lost
But I won’t watch you die
Eyes hollowed out
There’s no sign of life
Not a promise kept
Another prophet to rot in a coffin for all of eternity
We writhe in agony
Save yourself while you can
Death towers overhead
Take back the blood they’ve shed
I won’t see home again
Why?
Bound by premonition
All that I love perishes
Hope withers slowly sown in the garden of violence
All that was holy has now been made wretched
Save yourself while you can
Death towers overhead
Take back the blood they’ve shed
I won’t see home again
Why?
(Rotting prophets)
Animals in a cage, barely kept alive
Driven by grief and vengeance
Some of us filled with rage, some of us with pride
But in the end we’re all empty

That's a BEASTLY growl at 2:01 and then the riff afterwards just makes my day/afternoon /night all the more better

Is this song about Chrono Trigger? At first I thought I was crazy, but now listening to the lyrics makes that make more sense. Lavos is the name of the villain in Chrono Trigger.

@@not_caroll if you could ask Mike a wee question for me pretty please? I'm just starting out on my ghost note learning adventure and I'm struggling with inside palm muscle on my left hand losing its grunt before the right hand does... this is mainly cos I'm right handed and majority of my stuff till now has been very easy on my left... is there any warmups or stretches etc that mike would recommend or any particular drills to bring my left hand up to the same durability as my right? Was going to ask last livestream I watched but got lost in the drumming 😂😂😂 thanks heaps guys

I shed man tears when I saw this band and mick Gordon's name in the same title

[@Jeffmetal42]

"But... The future refused to change."

[@shiftdrummer1991]

George Lever crushed this mix. This is the way monuments deserves to sound. Especially Mike. Dude is top notch and his actual playing and drum tones deserve to be highlighted.

[@phantomtearsca]

This is a George Lever mix??? No wonder it sounds so different from Monument's older stuff.

[@mcgarnacle21]

Compared to other mixes, why is the drum tone different? I've never heard other Monuments stuff. This drum tone sounds pretty nice and natural for a modern metal record, which I really like.

[@blankspace0000]

Undeniably he did an amazing job with the band, but I felt that the Mick stuff got a little lost. Like you can hear that there's synths and stuff in the background but it doesn't quite seem like it has it's own place like it does in the BMTH stuff. Relatively small nitpick tho, still a great track.

[@phantomtearsca]

@@mcgarnacle21 Like DietKyle mentioned, this particular song was mixed by George Lever. I don't know exactly who engineered/recorded the drums, but George's mixes are definitely more organic sounding when compared to other metal records. Go listen to his work on Sleep Token and Loathe's albums, they are probably his most iconic mixes.

[@mcgarnacle21]

@@phantomtearsca Listening to them closely, they're damn good, and maybe it's just me and what I grew up with, but I'll still take metal mixes from the 2000's from mixers like Tue Madsen (Mnemic - Mechanical Spin Phenomena) and a mix like Clayman by In Flames.

[@TheOff1991]

Andy's vocal man, what a talent and perfect match. Also, big fan of Mike Malyan (The Algorithm, work with TesseracT, etc)

[@KaiDown]

Monuments + Mick Gordon + George Lever + Jens Bogren is basically a supergroup
