Transatlantic Progressive Metal titans MONUMENTS are back with their fourth full-length studio album, In Stasis, coming in April 2022. The groups 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 centered 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 Andys 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 thats defined itself. Throughout the journey of creating the record, MONUMENTS allowed 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.
