Producer: Stuart Birchall, Numinous Pictures
MONUMENTS - 97% Static
Don't fall behind I don't wanna lose you
we can repair our eyes in heaven.
V1
It's a white night and without sight
I force my way through the crowds of sacrifice
and I started feeling at peace with you
all this destruction and decay makes me feel sick
face the facts we can't wake up. We indulge ourselves like pigs
So I'll eat away the state and force every man to break
and take a good look at itself and everything
in the name of humanity in the name of liberty in the name of no god
Chorus
The pressure is mountain high
excuses are always the same
we're living beyond our time
still it won't make us change
V2
I wanna drown myself in drink so I'm senselessly drunk. Pollution crowds around me and I wanna get fucked up.
But before they spend another billion on making it all worse I'm gonna set sail on a mission that we can save ourselves
Can we save our selves? Can we save ourselves
I'll trigger a reaction
In Flames
It's beautifully insane
Chorus
The pressure is Mountain high
excuses are always the same
we're living beyond our time
still it won't make us change
everything's breaking down
excuses are always the same
we're living beyond our time
still it won't make us change
We've broken everything

9 years, still going strong. Again, John Brohne and Mike Malyan are the Deadly Duo of the new era. After Petrucci and Portnoy, the best duo I have ever heard. Olly left, Baretto left, Malyan joined. All that I have, is memories of Fellsilent, then two amazing bands, Tesseract and Monuments.

[@pierresimonetti2689]

I liked a lot Matt Rose too. He has not the power of baretto's voice or the precision of Andy's but has that persenal thing in his voice we don't see everywhere.

[@corvus418]

I'm revisiting this as well, back when Monuments used to have their own sound and unique vocals. I also miss Fellsilent. This happens to every band with hit albums, like Born of Osiris and Betraying the Martyrs.

[@zacharylongston199]

this album is literally one of the best albums i have heard.

[@Crunchy166]

SAME

[@VVVY777]

Best monuments singer. So raw, so real.

[@sycbeck652]

got this song for free on a sample CD from a music magazine. There was a few bangers but this just stood above all else. *Honey to the ears*

[@chrisdimis91]

2022 and still coming back to listen to this masterpiece

[@p1xmcm]

Same as for me, mate.

[@MultiHamster101]

That break down makes me go crazy every time

[@Toni-6dB]

2023🎉

[@TheBadThad]

Matt Rose killing the vocals!

[@PerceptiveAudio]

The chorus is outstanding

[@Kobrakai392]

This sound is absolutely huge! if this doesn't move your soul then there's something wrong with you

[@cmdctrlmusic5439]

+Joe Bond Yes!

[@zrollins]

"The pressure is Mountain high. Excuses are always the same". So siKKK

[@Dragondarkness30]

This song is amazing this song never gets old. Monuments by far one of my favorite bands of this year.

[@mortenhansen3455]

I really dig that open studio sound on the drums!

[@frylocdub]

the bass tone on this recording is among the best tones i have ever heard!

[@romeojuliet2167]

from a single guitar note to a Revolution . From a dark room and a silent sound to a Breakthrough .

[@Mathieew]

I totally agree. It's been stuck in my head for weeks.

[@monke1387]

always thought barreto sang on this album, matt is amazing

[@zrollins]

The pressure is mountain high!!!! Excuses are always the saaaaaame!

[@redsilverjack]

3,3,3,4,7.62 and glory chorus PERFECTION

[@timmyb8694]

Miss this vocalist

[@philippadalino3416]

I just found out about this band and I cant believe what an amazing sound this is.

[@PerceptiveAudio]

love the vocals on this

[@MAR.COmusic]

I am really sad that the singer is out of the band. I love his screams and his cleans, I saw them live and this guy has the best live stage presence you will ever find!

[@Inglig909]

Entire album is stunning, one of my favourite albums of 2012

[@vinayakmukherjee3318]

we need this back in 2018

[@7star7storm7]

Vinayak Mukherjee new monuments AWOL few days ago - its damn good 2

[@vinayakmukherjee3318]

@Rob duff Thanks bro I didnt even know. I just checked it out. It's badass ! However, they sound very different now and I have to admit I like this heavier bassier (old) monuments sound better.

[@7star7storm7]

Vinayak Mukherjee np - yeah new song really good hey - but this song has a very special place in my heart.... cant wait for the album to drop! Take care mate

[@jaronhubbuch5295]

This is... Just amazing. I felt grasped by this song. Like going through a wierd trip and opening my eyes. Love this band.

[@AngelRamirez-zi7vc]

Sad that only few people listens to them. Cause kids these days would rather listen to bands like asking alexandra or pierce the veil,bands like that. Such talent on this band.

[@TheBlidget]

totally love the way that whenever i look up a djent band i get an add to meet single emos. its metal music not emo all faith in humanity lost. good job youtube advertising.

[@blasher4]

Freakin' djent classic. Love it.

[@cmdctrlmusic5439]

🔥

[@AntonioTENEBRION]

probably one of my favorites Djent bands !!

[@Virus940]

Monuments is my most favorite band at the moment. Gnosis is fucking flawless. Amazing melodies and amazing grooves, with an incredible vocalist.

[@kamilawilczek6521]

i love matts voice

[@dirtysouthmetalhead]

idk why people trash the singer. . . music is art. listening to anything with expectations of it sounding a certain way is misinterpretation. these dudes recorded it and put it out to sound like this. like it or don't im sure they could care less. i have the album and love it

[@musicisgod9]

perfect singer for this song..!! he is live awsuum too !!

[@Inglig909]

Easily my favourite band of this genre

[@Loveulysses651]

The singing mixed with the instrumental in the chorus is mind blowing!

[@Rocker1811]

It sounded divine!!!! awesome!!!!

[@GHziikneon]

97% Thall 3% Freets = 100% Djent

[@NOCXCIDE]

My favorite band right now

[@Kim2Sung]

Feel like this band is a perfect fusion of Periphery and Tesseract. Anyone else agree?

[@MrDennie666]

definitely one of my albums of the year(last year i guess)

[@MichaelSorrentino1]

This is still one of my favorite albums that i've ever bought.

[@sakar1702]

I am in love with this band!! Awesome

[@bennyhooper4097]

sakar timilsina

[@bennyhooper4097]

core

[@DinkiDiDude]

These guys are flipping brilliant, next album buy for sure.

[@imabadking]

It's nice to see vanilla ice in a new band. Good for him.

[@Nocturnal-Metal-Wolf]

Bro🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@PerceptiveAudio]

now this is the one! beast mode engaged

[@dustinnstifler3563]

Excuse me, lads. I would just like to know what genre I'm into? Because this is amazing. I'm about to love this kind of stuff, you know.

[@DirtNastyLow572]

It's a form of nümetal (or as other people call it neometal) that uses djent

[@dustinnstifler3563]

Responses are much appreciated. Now I know what I'm dealing with. It's about to get really nasty over here.

[@DirtNastyLow572]

+Dustinn Stifler with the last name stifler I bet it is (if you catch my reference )

[@dustinnstifler3563]

Indeed, mate. Indeed.

[@ryanquick1956]

+Dustinn Stifler check out katatonia

[@MrDivagation]

Nice Tesseract song :D

[@nightlessexplosive3641]

Well, there where members of this band and tesseract in fellsilent, and this band is the sporitual successor of that project .

[@shaggy4847]

i think i found a new favorite band to smoke to!!

[@danielsepp2621]

If you understood Monuments, enjoy it for the rest of your life. If you don't understand, stay silent; because you don't evolved enough to deserve to hear Monuments. This guys are gods and this guitar tone came directly from hell.

[@dickrobot]

First time listening. These guys got what I'm looking for.

[@Dark0men]

The SikTh influence is real.

[@mrnemoid]

J Smith so many of the bands currently playing this style of metal are so strongly influenced by Sikth and most people have never heard of them. so sad. theyre so much better in my opinion.

[@thejrfanclub628]

+mrnemoid how can one be influenced by something if they don't know what it is

[@thecrapehanger24]

one can quite easily be influenced by something without knowing it. Think about it.

[@Waltzhybrid92]

I have a new found appreciation for this song. Might have to buy the album now.

[@sarahrudland8695]

such a beautiful song and the chorus is so good, and i love the vocals

[@anthonyhewitt9397]

technical/ experimental /metal core/ progressive/ break beat/ highly suggest animals as leaders joy of motion album. amazing. also the band ,(intervals), cd.the shape of color. (within the ruins.) or mashuga they've been Rippin it since b4 I was born

[@Timmysk8er89]

Meshuggah....Jens Kidman will haunt you with his meshuggah face if you misspell Meshuggah

[@gabrielcarbajal9592]

+timRbest 👍

[@AscentToZenith]

Mashooga bes djont

[@zrollins]

Don't forget the "Djent" adjective haha

[@xDJ3NTx]

Best thing I've read all day.

[@ShatteredToDust]

I quoted you on this. It deserves recognition.

[@thesvc2006]

this is incredible! just found out about these dudes. blown away.

[@LAPALMAWORLD]

this is different from what Ive heard under the name of this song until now. this version is very refreshing :)

[@JAAYWADE]

such a good song.

[@VitrificationOfBlood]

Dis ma jam!

[@mallemall012]

agreed. so much groove.

[@trevnevit123]

That was sick the drummer is amazing!

[@IaJagon]

Pretty damn epic sounding to me. And there's nothing wrong with the vocals, the whole texture of the different parts works really well I think.

[@WrapMasterLLC]

best band on the planet EARTH!

[@_NotEnoughMana]

Anyone who trashes Matt's vocals should listen to 'Empty vessels...' from 1:46 onwards. His dynamics from high to low would slay any critic to shame!

[@TOOLosophy]

What a great date for the release - International Day of Peace! Let's repair what we've broken: hearts, lives, minds, dignities of people, countries, human relations, environment...

[@Zavi1313]

this is awesome! loved the video and the song!

[@williamharrington6383]

making fellsilent fans everywhere proud.

[@Fall3nFat3]

Nothing like smoking up a fat bowl and jamming to some tunes like this. :D

[@jcstrings]

people doesnt like change. This guys did an incredible job giving us something new. And by the way the singer gave something impressive to the table, with those setbacks does guys are pulling.

[@xydex99]

One of the guitarists of Monuments was in a band with the current guitarist of TesseracT, you can't blame them for having similar styles.

[@hshiram]

Sooooo good

[@puszat19]

I cannot stop listening to this. Its like vildhjarta mixed with tessaract. Just different vocals. Djesus! :D

[@Lukelo92]

Acle Kahney and John Browne (Monuments' lead guitarist) were in Fellsilent together, that's why the bands have similar feels :)

[@Koltzer]

I LOVE that bassists dreadies, theyre just so epic

[@taxi911]

Nah, man. I'm digging these guys.

[@meckleemu]

Pure class. Awesome.

[@Pric3less1]

Just discovered this band last night. Listened to Gnosis on Spotify. Damn good band. I like the Arabic influences in their music too. Well, that's what it sounds like to me anyway.

[@ImAdMkA]

I thought the same. With these ambient interlines the balance of the low ang high tones ...PERFECT! d-_-b

[@patrikfurnjigic5087]

97% static 100% beautiful djent song ever

[@combatwombatt]

great music video. love the fucking vocalist. i like how its just them jamming out and non of that "lets make another generic video of people running through forest" bull shit.

[@Thomas_Gachod]

GNARLY

[@wardocgr]

"I'll TRIGGER a reaction IN FLAMES It's beautifully insane"..!!

[@MomentumShadow]

1:55 dat riff. / mind blow

[@aaronconlin]

I like the use of "hardcore" screams with the "djent" guitar, instead of plain cleans or traditional growls. It kind of adds something new to progressive, I dig it

[@CaptainSaminoz]

European metal has taken a minute to grow on me, but I love this shit now :3

[@sreyn237]

I'm actually very pleasantly surprised with how good they sound. Wasn't sure what to expect from Monuments, well done lads!

[@immoralee]

I should of joined this band when i had the chance, bass player is a very good friend from school.

[@codybruce3864]

This makes me miss Matt

[@AnDynessisity]

I have NO IDEA why it took me so long to hear of this band. #%&@!

[@TwilightSeries2]

My first time listening to this band, And I like it?

[@slanderouscrows5476]

But we all love hate .. Beautifully insane!

[@7star7storm7]

We can repair our eyes in heaven 🤘

[@wardy19902008]

i love how swans hair is just hypnotising as he moshes its like snakes :)

[@DarkLyricsVX]

they remind me of Tesseract....that's a good thing!!

[@drumsno]

John Browne and Acle played in a band together before Tesseract

[@para_bellum_1984]

this reminds me of the early Textures albums... nice!

[@Sr_rish]

This sounds very unique. I like the original sound produced with this song and also with The Haarp Machine's Pleiadian Keys. They sound absolutely amazing.

[@Rocker1811]

2:55 its so epic!!!

[@Aspacs]

Was about to write that. Good job there. Wish more people would inform themselves before writing.

[@AnatoleyTimchenko]

Sic!

[@DansHuang]

feel the same way too!!! they got similar range and styles, and somehow look alike to me sometimes, though still totally different. both great singer anyway :)

[@asexydeath]

Stray from the path vox & djent siick.
