I've been listening to "In Stasis" again; it's the album that got me into Monuments. Forgot how good Mick Gordon's mix is, as well as how good the riffs are. I feel like I can't enjoy modern Djent a lot of the time, specifically "Periphery's Djent is not a Genre" and Tesseract's "War of Being", and I can't quite understand why. In Stasis, and some of the tracks (like this one) in particular are really enjoyable in comparison. Maybe it's all Mick Gordon, and I definetly wouldn't listen to this album if I wanted something like Monuments' "The Amanuensis", but it is still really enjoyable, punchy, and aggressive. Also this track has Neema Askari on it, so vintage djent brownie points for this track specifically.

• Vocals: Andy Cizek, Neema Askari
• Guitars: John Browne
• Bass: Adam Swan
• Drums, Samples: Mike Malyan

Just realized as I'm doing credits that this band has almost no original members anymore, and all of the newer ones are really new. Swan and Malyan are no longer in the band, and Cizek joined relatively recently but has now almost been their longest-lasting vocalist. I honestly have no idea where they're (Monuments) going to go from here but it will probably be interesting, they've (Chris Baretto really) only been disappointing once.
