What can we expect from this sixth opus? It maintains the same heavy atmospheres through its production, yet feels so airy to the ears, with riffs that straddle the line between post-rock and atmospheric metal, showcasing an innate sense of melody. A genuine feeling of melancholic contemplation emerges with each listen, and the appearance of clear and surprising solos proves once again that the band knows how to evolve beautifully. Enchanting choruses, a pounding drumbeat that strikes with the precision of an executioner’s axe on the necks of the condemned, an overall captivating ambiance, and a sound... a sound worthy of a Hollywood production. Look no further, amidst the plethora of post-something bands, MONKEY3 stands above, elsewhere, far away...
