The amount of grooves on this is absolutely insane. There are just so many songs on The Amanuensis that get me jumping around and going insane like no other.

Agustin Torres Same as me, I love this record!

[@MqsRafa]

One of the best of the djent era

Thanks to monuments and century media for giving us the opportunity to make this video! The reception has been amazing, thank you everyone :)

i love the artwork/ videoo! killer stufff guys

[@AscentToZenith]

You need more subs.

[@HybridSpektar]

I spent an hour examining this album art and I began to notice something: the art almost represents a clock with each individual subject telling its story clockwise the hands drawing it representing clock hands. I also noticed that each subject depicted on the art almost represents each song in the album. At the 12 o'clock position we see a guy creating a shockwave, perhaps maybe destroying something (could have a double meaning with I' the Creator and I' the Destroyer). At the 1 and 2 o'clock positions we see a guy running away. Perhaps escaping (hence Origin of Escape) and it goes on around. And considering the album alludes to the Samara Cycle of Life so that Chris wrote the story in the lyrics. So this could either be telling a story of one man's journey to maybe achieve enlightenment? The album is named The Amanuensis. An amanuensis is a literary and artist assistant, in particular takes dictation or copies manuscripts. This could mean the story is written by omniscient narrator who may be coping down the story from something? Perhaps we simply don't know but these are things I noticed about the album art.

[@Z-A-C]

I like to look at it as if it’s depiction a cycle of creation and destruction, in the sense that in order for a new beginning to be created, the old must be destroyed. The creator is god, and the destroyer is the devil, and they could both be one in the same. A lot of the songs on the album have lyrics that have a sense of a god complex to them which I find to be really interesting.

[@kijuubi]

great, someone who is willing to discover and capable of accepting abstract concepts aswell as actually trying to understand what this people try to silently say

[@lightiskalkin]

Look up for an interview where Chris explains the lore for this record and then everything will make more sense

[@thomasgerwallner234]

2022 and still a banger!!!!!!!! I love Monuments.

[@wigligigly3375]

The hook on this is the single greatest thing ever

[@mfthlmn]

No dude, but 2023 and still a banger

[@FatalPurpose]

This is hands-down one of the best metal songs ever written, in my books at least. The grooves, the riffs, the insane drum-work, highly dynamic vocals, all the boxes are checked. Excited to see where the band goes with Andy at the helm!

[@mieszanesztuki]

I agree, there's not one thing I'd change in this track. Such a powerful song

[@IgneelS11]

I like Chris' vocals more tho :)

[@beidouvirus3978]

@@IgneelS11 Chris' vocals are insane for sure, such a nice pleasing tone in both cleans and screams. But Andy is right up there, maybe more technically skilled but just has an inherently different tone. The big upside to him is that he seems to have a better working attitude, which is probably the most important thing lol

[@snazzlevelzzans7093]

I don't care what anyone says, this dude's vocals (clean and hard) really give this album a great vibe

[@sashaherman2822]

One of the best albums musically I've heard this year so far. Dig the Eastern vibe.

[@thegoatgotmilked373]

This is one of the best songs I have heard in 2014. De vocals are very, very, very good!! I hope I can see them live soon!

[@EDJR0]

I really love this song. It's becoming probably one of my favorites by them because of that guitar sound. That's one of the most badass guitar sounds I've ever heard. One of the more heavier songs by them too.

[@TheFluffmcgruff]

They opened with this track in Orlando and on the first verse Chris jumped in the crowd for a quick surf and the crowd went nuts. Thank you for making my night Monuments.

[@Limebottle07]

Whoever did the lyric video needs more credit.

[@eset]

2019 and I still think it's underrated

[@Davide608]

First song learnt on my 8 string ... then i changed tuning because i suck at compose with their open stuff. Still my favourite metal song. Ever.

[@EXISTMUSIC]

Should not have listened to this before trying to go to bed. Now I'm all hyped up and shit and will never go to sleep.

[@mieszanesztuki]

This was 7 years ago and still is one of the most orgasmic songs I've ever heard. Never change Monuments.

[@NyfeMusic]

I just saw these guys on tour with Devin Townsend and Animals as Leaders. They put on a great set, and the singer hung out with people the entire show. It was pretty damn awesome

[@12ealDealOfficial]

Same here. Chris even let a girl hand him her phone and he filmed part of the set for her while he was performing, then gave it back without missing a beat.

[@Cynntu]

12ealDeal Were you in Atlanta? Because he did the same thing at the ATL show

[@12ealDealOfficial]

Mynn That's the one I was at. Excellent show!

[@Cynntu]

12ealDeal Dude that's awesome. Yeah, the show was really really good. I was mainly there to see Devin (i actually got to meet him too!) and i actually met up with Chris back before Devin went on. I got a picture with him and everything. He's such a nice guy, too. One of the best shows I've ever been to. If you saw a guy with a beanie that was striped with black and blue colors, that was me, but I doubt you remember lol

[@12ealDealOfficial]

Mynn I don't remember, unfortunately. But it really was an awesome show. I know it's cool to say, "so and so was better, back when ____", but I really have to say that was the best show I've seen as well. I'm a bit envious you were able to meet Chris and Devin!

[@michaelf9kchromethousand549]

Saw these dudes live yesterday. They were the opening act for Devin Townsend's band and THEY KICKED ASS! \m/ Nice to see they kick an equal amount of ass on record as well.

[@x7scriptzzz172]

I'm so gladi found monuments back in 2019. They pushed me into the deep end of metal and I haven't looked back one bit. And this is the song that started it all. This song is the reason I switched from a 6 string to an 8 also

had to come back to this because as much as I love Monuments their new stuff doesnt hit the same😥
