Rock The Night E.P. |
||||||
| Monument are a heavy metal band from the UK formed in 2011, intent on bringing back the classic sound of British heavy metal. The bands debut release is the five song E.P. 'Rock The Night'... | ||||||
| ...emerging in 2012. Exploding into life, the E.P. gets off to an absolute flyer, the title song 'Rock The Night' combining the iconic twin guitar attack and galloping rhythm synonymous with the NWOBHM sound. Powerful clean and clear vocals adds to the highly old school feel - Monument stamping their intent on the heavy metal genre in a big way. Keeping up the pace of the opening salvo, 'Carry On' rattles on its way, invoking vigorous head banging as it races on at high velocity! Full of energy and intensity, 'Carry On' is a blistering example of just how great British heavy metal is. | ||||||
| 'Midnight Queen' is a solid slab of heavy metal come heavy rock with a punchy, foot stomping guitar riff that will have you nodding your head in appreciation. Loaded with a sing a long style chorus, 'Midnight Queen' is immensely catchy and overly infectious. And nodding its head in the direction of early eighties Iron Maiden, 'Fatal Attack' roars into life, featuring a classic sounding old school guitar riff, powerful clean vocals and one hell of a catchy chorus. This is surely going to be a crowd favourite in a live environment. | ||||||
| Monument have set the heavy metal genre on fire with their debut release and I am sure they are heading out on a great and glorious journey. The band bring the E.P. to a close with the swaggering 'Blood Red Sky' - big chunky guitar riffs, rumbling bass and thunderous drums all produce a foot tapping gem. Keep an ear out for Monument, they are gonna make a monumental impression on the worldwide heavy metal stage. | ||||||
| Overall, traditional British heavy metal at its thunderous best, Monument have brought the NWOBHM sound back, and added more to make it sound even better. | ||||||
