Monuments release new music video for ‘Cardinal Red’

MONUMENTS have released a new music video!

The new music video, for the track Cardinal Red, is taken from the transatlantic progressive metal band’s upcoming new album, In Stasis, which is scheduled to be released in April this year. The new music video was directed and produced by Sitcom Soldiers.

Speaking about the new song and its accompanying music video, the band says, “the story outlined in this video, is without question, a metaphorical concept. The true meaning of Cardinal Red can be found cryptically within the lyrics.”

Continuing to speak about the upcoming album, the band adds, “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 two 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 set for release on April 15th via Century Media Records. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
