A Bridge Too Far

     

(single)

     
         
         
     
             
Monument are a heavy metal band from the UK formed in 2011, releasing their debut E.P. 'Rock The Night' in 2012, debut full length album 'Renegades' in 2014, and now, just two years later as the band gear up for the release of their sophomore album 'Hair Of The Dog' release a new single 'A Bridge Too Far'.    
             
Since the release of their debut album, Monument have toured Europe and the UK, spreading the classic NWOBHM sound to their fans. Building on that success, the band are set to unleash their second album in the summer, and have released 'A Bridge Too Far' as one hell of an appetiser. And what an appetiser it is! With the mouth watering twin guitar lead in full harmony along with the iconic metal gallop, 'A Bridge Too Far' echoes the heady days of the eighties, when the likes of Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Saxon were setting the world alight with the pace and power of traditional heavy metal.    
             
Monument are sparking new life into the NWOBHM genre, and with the release of their upcoming second album, they will be raising the fists and banging the heads of their legions of fans, as well as attracting many new ones.    
             
Overall, a superb galloping song, with a twin guitar lead echoing the eighties NWOBHM sound.
