Transatlantic Progressive Metallers, MONUMENTS, have released their new single “False Providence”, alongside an official video, directed and produced by Zak Pinchin. The track is taken from the band’s upcoming fourth album, “In Stasis”, out April 15th via Century Media Records.
The band comments about the song: “When you dedicate your life to believing in something, then realising it was all for nothing. Despite your unflinching loyalty, the void within persists. – ‘As gods speak through us, suicidal sights remain’.”
And adds about “In Stasis”: “We approached this album without the intention of a specific concept. However – three songs in, what was being written ended up sharing a common theme. This feeling of being stuck in the middle, a feeling we experience throughout our lives – within friendships and relationships, love to hate, life to death, belief or non-belief, being in power to total defeat, isolation to freedom. Over the past 2 years, we have been faced with many of these trials, and these struggles can be heard throughout the record. This record is a culmination of our greatest triumphs and our deepest struggles. We hope it resonates with you, and brings you closer to equilibrium. We’d like to thank guests Neema Askari (FORM SUBTRACT, ex-FELLSILENT, ex-MONUMENTS), Spencer Sotelo ( PERIPHERY, KING MOTHERSHIP) and Mick Gordon (DOOM, PREY, KILLER INSTINCT) for enhancing the record with their unique perspectives.”
