Transatlantic djent/progressive metal outfit Monuments have shared a brand new single titled “False Providence“, featuring revered composer Mick Gordon. You can find the track’s official music video, directed by Modern Error frontman Zak Pinchin, below.
The long-standing progressive group, with members historically split between the US and the UK, are gearing up for their long-awaited fourth studio album release this April with In Stasis. Following the release of singles “Lavos” and “Cardinal Red“, both of which also featured additional production from Mick Gordon, “False Providence” stands as the third taste of new material from the upcoming project.
Speaking on the track, the band stated the following: “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.’”
Further, expanding on the album as a whole, they stated: “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.”
In Stasis is due for release in just under a month on April 15th via Century Media, and you can find pre-orders here. Further, you can view the album’s official artwork and track listing below. For all things Monuments, metal and music in general, keep it locked on Boolin Tunes.
