[@antondavies3136]

Drummer is the happiest alive. just makes me smile

[@I-Need-Saving]

Jay postones from Tesseract vibes for sure lol.

[@Martindupie]

Mike is the man! Low key looks like the type of dude you would never guess is incredible at drums, but mans know how to hit beats 🙌🏼

[@aryasriram3294]

malyan goat

[@60fpsplanet]

Don't ask why Andy isn't big even with that S tiers vocals. He's busy saving the neighborhood

[@benhagan]

Hah😂

[@rogersaver2606]

🕷️🕸️

[@lukebailey52]

Your friendly neighbourhood Vocalist

[@johnathankozloff212]

Lmfao this needs to be one of those memes that get bigger than the band

[@d.j.casanova960]

Andy Parker, I mean Peter Cizek, ah fuck, you get it.

[@AustinPeters]

Loved producing this for you guys.

[@WernerErkelens]

Thank you for everything mate!!

[@Derangedteddy]

I'm not even fucking kidding Origin of Escape is my favorite metal song. Period. You guys fucking KILLED the production on this. The mix is 🤌🤌🤌

[@SaintTutter]

Andy's vocals are actually INSANE like i he sounds so fucking good. From a vocalist standpoint this is literally god tier. Jesus christ.

[@sammurray362]

Yes this is absurd. Just a level above

[@Mangmang3390]

Amen to that!!.....

[@petamerican2588]

He can compete with Dan Tompkins, and that's a FEAT.

[@360.Tapestry]

the vocal acrobatics are truly astonishing. he can do whatever he wants with that voice

[@luciopaz6271]

Minute 3:34 until 3:36....I've never heard anyone do anything like that! This singer is amazing!

[@eczy]

3:32 Mixed voice powers activate!

[@kylestewart4444]

The range is fucking ludicrous, man. And every part of your range is absolutely elite. Some guys sing really well but the screaming is lackluster. Plenty of guys who can scream really well can’t sing for shit. Andy can do vocally what other bands need 2 or 3 guys to pull off and even then, Andy still does all of it better. It’s unbelievably impressive.

[@LilDeuceDeuce]

5:26 haha busting out the somersault what a legend

[@BlujusticeVR]

Saw that! Then right into the core drops. Loved that shit. I've never seen that before!!

[@evanmay8145]

what a gangster

[@MartinBergnerGuitar]

Andy is just THE man!

[@b_ryc]

I've only seen Dan Tompkins do that before lol

[@djevon4853]

Did not expect to see you here 😂

[@Samus5164]

I'd give my left kidney for a remaster of Gnosis and Amanuensis with Andy's vocals.

[@Pallydyn]

HOW ARE YOU STILL GETTING SO MUCH BETTER EVERY TIME I HEAR YOU

[@rizkyalif19]

ANDY, THOSE VOCALS ARE UNREAL WTF 🤯

[@NathanielBTM]

0:28 Andy hit us with a "The Final Episode". also... Andy's Vocal Runs are just ridiculous... like how... too good.

[@zanyatta1]

This vocal is insane 😮

[@Panda_Biscuits]

Andy you are a God Tier vocalist. Seriously how do you now pass out? Your ability and stamina are insane!

[@AestheticLov3]

I saw Andy with Makari about a week ago. I wasn't expecting them opening for Hail the Sun & Intervals and maaaaan, Andy is a goddamn god on vocals. In fact, he's the reason I'm starting vocal lessons. If I can get half that level of skill... ooof ;)

[@6ER7]

Andy's vocals in live is unreal!

[@josemartinez-jm2uz]

I LOVE the singer IS the real front man ❤

[@SethDrums]

The happiest drummer I’ve ever seen!

[@phantomthiefzx]

Why does Degenerate sound so much better with you in it than the original version? 😮👏🏻

[@az1nn]

I must confess i loved Chris vocals on this tunes, but Andy made a INCREDIBLE job, so fun to watch!!!!!

[@landmine55]

Monuments has finally reached their final form and I am absolutely stoked for them. They deserve to become one of the greats.

[@GumboRyan]

Origin of escape was beautiful. Could we maybe get a re-recorded amanuensis?? 🙌

[@maxalaintwo3578]

We’d definitely get a rerecorded Gnosis before then

[@GumboRyan]

Double album, let’s goooo.

[@usaflagraybans]

Considering how the band thinks the entire mix of Amanuensis was bad, a re-recording might not be out of the realm of possibility.

[@NickJ7903]

I love Monuments but I was never into them pre-Andy, and when I hear Andy sing the older stuff, it just feels so beautiful and natural. If Monuments were to redux their old stuff with Andy on vocals, it would be... Monumental. One can only hope.

[@posthardcoresounds6268]

1:25 so good, man. Seriously one of the best vocalists out there. Loved this

[@davidwales9657]

flawless vocal performance

[@angelcanobeats]

What Andy does is surreal.

[@eerosoots]

Thanks for filming this on my birthday! LOL. You guys rock. You all sounded tight as fuck. Huge props to Andy for really nailing the material from the previous vocalist. Please come to Estonia one day! :P

[@davud2789]

Man this totally blows the original versions away

[@TobyDillman]

Holy shit, I had NO IDEA he was capable of this. I saw his Chucky vs The Giant Tortoise video years ago and now I hear him doing this?! These guys sounded absolutely amazing. Not just the vocals, which are immaculate, but the rest of the band completely crushed it too.

[@VRSTYNYC]

This video made us miss that tour 😭 Monuments is one of the most fun group of guys to tour with and we miss them 😢

[@andycizek]

We miss you too fellas 💚 Let's do it again sometime.

[@veenoir1991]

Man I would love to hear Andy do more gnosis stuff. I really need to go to a show lol

[@landmine55]

I highly recommend it, andy kills it on the gnosis stuff! Never seeing them before Andy joined but familiar with the material it was godly.

[@kylestewart4444]

Monuments is so fucking good. I’ve been following Andy’s channel for several years and this is the band he was always meant to have. Can’t wait for the next record. You guys are killing it.

[@C_GOODIES]

Can we get more barrel rolls like 5:26

[@shipplord9660]

Andy is in the form of his life, absolutely incredible performance. Long live Monu

[@NOISREVIEW]

this is my first time listening to monuments.. Holy Shit!! I came here from Andertons John Browne interview video simply because I was curious of the band and thought the band name sounds cool lol. Hell yes i found a new band to binge listen to

[@iamPHCorrea]

Hahahahahahaha Fckng Cooool! It's a great gift to click for one and get 3 entries. The second one is where the walls of death starts to organize and the third is where the moshpits get more brutal! Hahahahahaha Amazing entries Balash!

[@nickmatty9751]

The drummer, living his best life! Such a shame he's left the band now 😢

[@connormatthew1928]

Ive watched this so many times, goddamn you guys are sick👊

[@laurenbabic]

sounds heckin RAD

[@specialed171]

Man, I’m gonna miss this band

[@SlashMitchell1994]

Vocals on another level ❤ wow

[@joev.8543]

I feel validated by coming here and seeing I'm not the only one that feels this dude is absolutely top of the game rn.

[@spineless_]

Absolutely unreal vocals. You do the Chris Barretto and Matt Rose songs justice 🔥

[@ddevil4980]

Can't say I've ever seen a drummer smile that much. 😂 Most of the time, we're making weird faces.

[@ayushmannayak962]

My goosebumps got goosebumps. This band is incredible.

[@accelerateddeletions7805]

Monuments really hit a grand slam with Andy on vocals.

[@Pizzoots]

easily one of the best and most underrated vocalists in metal rn

[@OldMansRiot]

OMG, those vocals are brutal !!! The best cleans and growls Monuments ever had.

[@shaunfleury]

First time I've heard him sing my favorite Monuments song, always killing it Andy

[@d.hodgsky]

Dude's make it look so easy haha Fucking love Monuments! Hope yall come back to Canada, can't wait to see yall again!

[@twodogstar2565]

Holy shit, Andy goes so freaking hard on his vocals. I can't wait to see you guys live

[@enj0i]

one of the best vocalists currently

[@Haduj-the-Lion]

that tom-placement lmao! 🤣

[@kyleperkins1207]

Andy is/was the BEST replacement!

[@akisstat]

You are a MONSTER !!!!!!!!!! Huge respect !!!! Cheers from Greece !

[@spineless_]

[@alienog13]

[@BlujusticeVR]

Bro this is so fucking cool!!!! Please make more videos like these. You are one of my favorite vocalist ever, and damn you are super crispy live. Keep it up bro been with you for years!!!!

[@joaniepeters2565]

This is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen live, amazing is an understatement. And the best part they are all truly awesome dudes, stuck around.. met and took pics with all of their fans. I’ll remember that show for the rest of my life

[@rowshambow]

Come to the UK please 🙏

[@ianlauerastro]

Awesome! These songs bring back great memories. Bummed I missed the recent US tour - haven't seen Monuments live since Euroblast 2015! Definitely need to see y'all live again!

[@Studerphil]

EUROBLAST MENTIONED ❤❤

[@ClosetoHumanMusic]

Dude, you are an absolute beast.

[@SoDamnMetal]

That crowd is way too small considering the performance they're getting, you guys are amazing and Andy's voice is unreal!

[@aqmdave]

Had the pleasure of seeing you guys in Dallas. What a damn show!! I took two of my friends who had never heard of you all, and well, they became fans that night!

[@spineless_]

Wish you guys would put these versions on Spotify!

[@SnabbtYT]

Chills at 3:33

[@Lu1sY4brudy]

[@BattleForEden]

Andy is the whole scene right now. He hits it right every fucking time.

[@josephreusch]

How are you this good? Genuinely blown away by these songs live! Absolutely crushing it!

[@pellyell]

They are just the happiest most wholesome band live, even with on a tiny stage with a tiny crowd

[@alkaliforever9051]

[@thenickbw]

I like this timeline where Peter Parker fronts a metal band when not doing Spiderman stuff
