London based progressive metal band MONUMENTS are gearing up to release their new album In Stasis on April 15th via Century Media Records and would love to set up an interview or review with you. Let me know if you would like to set up a feature with the band. Transatlantic Progressive Metal titans MONUMENTS are back with their fourth full-length studio album, In Stasis, coming in April 2022. The group’s first LP with lead vocalist Andy Cizek, the band says that the themes explored on their new album are implied within its title: “the album became centred around the concept of being in stasis, stuck in the middle of a power struggle with oneself.“ One of the biggest differences on In Stasis has been Andy’s ability to demo songs so quickly and effectively. This allowed the rest of the band to not overthink the songs before hearing vocals. The new album also features the return of original drummer Mike Malyan, who worked alongside guitarist John Browne to demo all of the songs on In Stasis. The introduction of composer Mick Gordon as a featured artist is also a huge turning point for the band, with his sonic landscapes and creative insights inspiring the collective even further. In Stasis is an album that’s defined itself. Throughout the journey of creating the record, MONUMENTSallowed themselves to communicate concepts and ideas naturally. Through this process, the band has found much more common ground with themselves as writers than ever before.
