Before leaving for their first tour in order to promote their upcoming album MONUMENTS have just launched a brand new track and semi-static clip to go along with it from their upcoming album The Amanuensis.

Please click the following link for "I, The Creator": http://youtu.be/fnvMe0rWI2I

People from Germany please tune in to: http://www.muzu.tv/monuments/i-the-creator-official-album-track-video/2220657/

"The Amanuensis", MONUMENTS' sophomore album and follow up to 2012's critically acclaimed "Gnosis", is scheduled for a release on the following dates:

Europe / Australia /NZ: June 23^rd, 2014

USA / Canada: July 8^th, 2014

"The Amanuensis", at least the title, was inspired by author David Mitchell's novel, "Cloud Atlas". The complex story lines are the perfect analog for MONUMENTS. Musically, the group weave in and out of themes, motifs, and professor-like note calculations with graceful ease. But lyrically "The Amanuensis" comes from a very different place. "The album is about the Samsara cycle," reveals Browne (guitar). "The cyclical existence of life that we are all bound to."

The story of "The Amanuensis" is divided in 11 chapters whose titles read as follows:

I, The Creator
Origin Of Escape
Atlas
Horcrux
Garden Of Sankhara
The Alchemist
Quasimodo
Saga City
Jinn
I, The Destroyer
Samsara

Before touring Europe right around the release of "The Amanuensis" with Protest The Hero MONUMENTS are about to embark on a quick tour on the mainland with support coming from Dioramic.
