UK progressive tech metallers MONUMENTS will be releasing their debut full-length album, Gnosis, this August in Europe and September in North America (see below for release dates by territory). With its groovy, melodic ambience, Gnosis packs a progressive punch, which is further strengthened by the addition of Matt Rose’s broad vocal spectrum to the band.
