Monuments ORIGIN OF ESCAPE The Decomposer Lounge Reaction and Dissection
Just for some extra info Monuments, Tesseract and Periphery are all pretty close.
Monuments guitarist(John Browne) and Tesseract guitarist(Acle Kahney) used to be in a band called Fellsilent.
Also Monuments ex vocalist(Chris Baretto) used to be in Periphery.
There are lots of shows they've done together and also filled in for each other if members had whatever issues.
Monuments drummer (Mike Malyan) just recently filled in for Tesseract drummer(Jay Postones) when they did their live stream called Portals.
Respect from The UK, 0121! 🤘🏼
Chris Barretto also played Saxophone on Tesseract's Altered State and Spencer Sotelo from Periphery did guest vocals one one of Monument's tracks
Jon Anup used to be the drummer of Monuments before they put out Gnosis I believe
@@RebelKicks-mn4kc Anup took over from Mike when he had to take time out for his health, I don't think he was in Monuments before
The Holy Trinity of Djent.
BRUUUH Anup Sastry recorded this album how dare you!
lol
Gotta do Vildhjarta - Den Helige Anden. You might lose your mind listening to it. You never get comfortable listening to them. Always keeping you on your toes with the main instruments but bringing very ethereal ambience to create an absolutely huge sound
I'd love to see them here, but would really recommend it to be any other Vildhjarta's song tbh. I feel like Den Helige is a filler and not representing this band's composing ability, just feels choppy to me, like a bunch of old riffage (no pun intended 😅). All these feelings or Längstmedån will do, I guess
carbomb as well
Came here to recommend exactly this! Would love to see a reaction to that song
He should do eternal golden monk or dagger instead, fucking rad songs
All These Feelings is arguably their best song, or The Lone Deranger. Both show their style extremely well.
These guys are in my top next to TESSERACT for riffs and grooves, they are just so instrumentally good
The guitarist of Monuments and the guitarist of Tesseract used to be in the same band together
About the 'separate meter'
John Browne (the main driving force behind the writing) really likes Meshuggah and uses one of their signature rhythmical concepts very frequently which is the 4/4 but the riff is an odd-time phrase that just keeps spinning around that 4/4 meter. Yogev Gabay calls this the Host and Guest concept, you can check out his video on the topic in your own time! Great reaction and insight as always 🙂
I always call these thing cycle riffs.
Well this is a pleasant surprise…never thought youd react to Monuments. By far my favourite UA-cam composer ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
So far the playlist he has created is pretty darn good :)
The album that this song is from, The Amanuensis, is a masterpiece. You should check out their song Atlas next.
It's a concept album, it is a story about a boy Sam who destroys the world and Sara creates the world. This story repeats itself, over and over. The album begins and ends in the same key as well.
You have to listen to this entire album. It's an incredible story. Follows 2 characters and their journey of creating and destroying the world. This album also begins and ends in the same key, so you can just play it on repeat.
The current vocalist of Monuments, not on this track though, is also in a band with Nik Nocturnal, I believe you mentioned watching a video or two from him here on UA-cam. The band's called Termina, you could check out "The Edge of Time" from the last album?
dude thank you for the info. gonna check that out forsure. cheers!
You have got to do Vildhjarta, completely underrated group that really knows how to make use of accents, empty space, and extended passages. Top tier quality in my opinion.
Monuments are heavy af yet so uplifting. It's always fun to listen, thank you for the video.
This whole album is INSANE. Genuinely one of my favorites in this genre. Really hope to see you check out DRIFT by ERRA, also EYE OF GOD by ERRA!
The vocalist is in another band that I think you'd really enjoy, Ever Forthright. I recommend "Screen Scenarios" by them. Lot of fun surprises I think you'll enjoy (I won't spoil them here)
This suggestion will probably get lost, but for a new up and coming band making waves in this genre, try out VOLA. Tracks like "Head Mounted Sideways", "Napalm", "Alien Shivers" and "24 Light Years" should all be interesting and original to digest.
YES YES YES
VOLA are amazing.
Should really do a reaction to Tesseract - of matter, the live session is just outstanding
Really need to get into some more modern metal bands like this. More Tesseract, Norma Jean, Every Time I die, Hundred Suns, . Would also LOVE to see some Soilwork on here. Underrated band
If you ever get to Soilwork, This is a perfect starting song and very recent. ua-cam.com/video/6nPhoAscZdI/v-deo.html
Fuck yes, love me some Soilwork. They have stayed so consistently good throughout the years.
And fit for an autopsy!
Yeeeeehaaaaaa.
If You do Monuments, You HAVE to do Uneven Structure as well.
Awaken/Frost/Hail or Funambule
My entire 2014 just called and asked for it's music back.
Yesss, more modern metal, thank you for checking out bands like this.
Would love to see you react to anything from Riverside, they are an amazing prog rock band from Poland.
I second this
Vildhjarta already
What I love about this song is the combo of a 8 string guitar + the bass. Two super low instruments mixed super well to get that wall of sound you were talking about. John is also an incredible riffer (if that's a word lol). He has a guitar course with all of his tabs and they all include exactly what you said: accenting and syncopation. To me personally, his style sticks out a bit more than most guitarists in the same space. It's a shame monuments don't have more listeners!
Love your stuff man! Awesome seeing you do Monuments.
To touch on the bit you were talking about with the guitar tone: they actually tend to quad track most of their stuff, as opposed to the more standard hard-panned doubletracking thing many modern metal bands do. The guitarists are just crazy-tight rhythmically and can get away with 4 stacked takes on every part without getting transient flams, and the result is that fat tone and bigger-than-typical stereo field you noticed.
Two of my favorite drummers have recorded with this band and one of them is in the band currently I believe. Anup Sastry and Mike Malyan who both deliver gold on anything they touch!
From Monuments’ album The Amanuensis my favorite track is Garden of Sankhara… incredible songwriting. You gotta check out their new singles Animus, Deadnest, and Lavos. They’re extremely well written and they debut their new vocalist Andy Cizek - phenomenal vocal range and control
Man, your memory to comment about what happened for like 1 minute straight is pretty impressive, you hardly miss something out.
Finally some monuments! Amanuensis is an amazing album
Between the Buried and Me - Selkies: The Endless Obsession
Please and thanks you.🙏🤞🦥😀
UPVOTE THIS BOYS
There's so many better songs by BTBAM to deconstruct. Selkies is *okay* until it gets to the end section, where it's just Paul's most uninspired sweeping of their entire discography. In my opinion Selkies is the worst song on Alaska - not a bad song, I just don't understand the hype when almost every single other song they've ever written is more interesting. It's just Dream Theatre Lite when BTBAM is so much more than that, even just on Alaska.
Geebz could check out Alaska or Camilla Rhodes from that era of BTBAM - both are way more interesting compositionally.
Always picking great tracks for the reacts!
SKYHARBOR.....please!!!! Songs to check out: *Catharsis, *Celestial, Maeva, Out of Time, Sythetic Hands
"Atlas" definitely needs a react. "Jinn" is another really cool track off the same album!
It's interesting that they used a Middle Eastern beat with the guitars.
Still pushing for Andrew WK's "Babalon", "I'm In Heaven" and "Everybody Sins."
One of my favorite reviews you’ve done!
I fucking love your song and genre choices for this channel ♡
no..fucking..way. my mans did monuments....you always cheer me up dude.
Heck yeah man, was not expecting this one but glad you got to it! The entire album is a masterpiece from start to finish (the cover art is even part of the story it tells), but if you want picks from it to check out next, the tracks I, the Creator and I, the Destroyer really gives you an idea of what's in between them. Also going to plug "Onda" by Jambinai ("Jam", like a jam band) again, in case it got filtered but also because you'll hopefully enjoy them as much as you did these guys.
Yes!!! Finally some Monuments in the channel!!! You should totally do more Monuments songs, this is the band that got me into "djenty" bands!!!
Much love from Barcelona!
Holy crap that was so unexpected! They have some bahaha-angers(bangers)
I know it's not personal when you can't get to our requests, just always trying to get you back to Caligulas Horse with their song Dream The Dread. It's a nice in between from Slow Violence which you did, a simple radio like single song, and Graves, their 16 minute grand opus. It's so packed with emotion and the transitions musically are to die for. Much love always!
Yes finally got monuments on here!!!!!!! From the Amanuensis album👌👌👌🙏thank you.
Thank you so much for this channel and everything you do..
Their song "I, The Destroyer" is absolute genius. So much to dissect.
Definitely my favorite song to finger tap on my steering wheel. So many flowing tasty fills
HOW THE FUCK DID I MISSED THIS FFS!!!.
I had the pleasure of watching them live with Periphery on 2019, probably the best fucking showman I have ver seen is Barreto, I just love his live performances.
John Browne the god damn Riff Lord.
It'd be really cool to watch you breakdown The Lone Deranger by Vildhjarta
This is one of my favourite albums of all time. Thanks for checking it out!
I'm going to suggest Vildhjarta Eternal Golden Monk or All These Feelings if you're interested in this Djent sound

Forgot they existed haha, guess it’s monuments on repeat for the rest of the week! Great video as always geebz!
This is one of my favorite track from Monuments
Love to see you reacting to this awesome band! If you wanna talk a little more about syncopation, you should really check their track 'Quasimodo'. It's a beast in terms of groove.
Anyway, great analysis as always, great work overall! :)
4:04 ... When I tab a song, I invert one channel and play with the balance, so I can remove most of the center and focus on the (usually wide) guitars. This has worked very well with the 90s/2000s thrash metal I like to play, but this song reacted VERY differently. It's a totally different wall of sound than what I'm used to and requires further investigation. I need baritone guitar.
6:20 ... I think I made a similar face when I distanced myself from the guitars and eventually noticed that cymbal! Probably with a bit more head banging. It kinda annoys me, but I can't deny that it's pretty cool.
The funny thing is, I discovered this song through your channel and totally forgot you mentioned this. Having somebody talk about the mix of things is really turning into a learning experience. Thanks for that.
You absolutely have to react to Into the Hellfire by Lorna Shore!
Absolutely this
Omg yes. Couldn’t click fast enough. For my money the best record in all of djent.
MONUMENTS, sigh, a diamond...
Great band and the atmosphere their music beathes is phenomonal.
Always dig your enthusiasm Geebz! Makes (almost) every video entertaining to watch, even when you are decomposing tracks I do not like.
🤘
How's the shoulder? According to your airdrumFILLS it seems ok? 🙃
Enjoyed this a lot. Drum arrangement was really cool.
If you enjoy the music. Your a metal head. That's all it requires.
Great to see you reacting and breaking down so many different styles of music here! I would love to see you react to Primordial - Sons of the Morrigan! Amazing celtic metal.
Oh yea! Monuments are great musician I love their music. Sounds very unique. Im glad you listen to them. But well now let's watch video :D
i love how you annotate songs bro . can see your brain piciking it apart whilst our listening haha
Monuments needs alot more love!!!
One of the videos i automatically like before Geebz starts talking because of the band and/or song
I see that Music Man JP7 on the background, great choice! Great channel btw
I don't know how to describe that alternating rhythm starting at 7:00 but I love it
Its just a pattern repeated over and over
Aviations - Outliers (Retrospect) 🤘 It's just on the horizon I can feel it. 😁
I saw Origin and thought “here we go!!!” but I had read it wrong.
Oh boy. I'd love to see him do Origin - Saligia and just watch his facial expressions. :)
There’s a lot of good stuff from these guys
So damn good!!! Yesssaah
AWWWRIGHT!!
If you like these kind of vocals, then you MUST check out Means End! Check out "Magnanimous" or "To Love", or ANYTHING else by them! They have an AMAZING cover of "Nox Aurumque" as well!! Another amazing band that's similar is Pangaea and anything from their album "VESPR"! Thanks, Geebz!!
Aloha!!
if you like cut times, drum fills and this song in general, you totally need to listen and react to Marigold by Caligula's Horse
That song is so good.
Loooove this tune. I, the destroyer is also great. Keep it up man.
Hypno5e - who wakes up from this dream does not bear my name, awesome song from a very little known band
Cool ! I'm gonna check these guys out 🤘Never heard of this band..
Thanks Geebz !
Oh myyy goood. This band shaped me into the musician i am today. I wish i could hear them again for the first time. Enjoy my friend. Listen to the albums in order
Geevs! Big fan, love following down the rabbit holes with you... one I think you will like, and would be cool to hear your breakdown would be "Agalloch- in the shadow of our pale companion" . It's a great ride!
So someone else already pointed out the fact that Tesseract and Monuments are both linked by the two members that used to be in the same band, but they also both use a similar alternate tuning, AEADEAD or some slight variation on it (Monuments typically do this a half step down, then both bands might drop the low A down a whole tone). Finally set my guitar up in this tuning and it's been interesting playing around with it.
such an underrated band
Best band ever! Monumentalist right here
Nicely surprised by you reacting to Monuments. It is quite a good Djent band, adding some clever pop elements through the singer. And John Brown on guitar is very underrated both as musician and songwriter.
Check out Dir En Grey - Vinushka, pleeeeeeaaaaaase! :) ;)
Hell yeah dude! For some reason this made me want you to check out Native Construct. They are VERY theatrical, and just a bunch of kids who graduated from Berkeley, inspired by between the buried and me.
You can do the track Passage. You'll dig it.
Now that you talk about the drummer, mike malyan, he did a live gig for Tesseract not so long ago. Since the og drummer of Tesseract was outside the country, they asked him to do the drums.
Lmao the groove is so strong Geebz is already headbobbing just one bar post-intro at 1:50
One of my all time favourite bands, Browne and Ollie are savages
Monuments?!? Hell yeah.
Also for these 30 days, would be super cool if you were to check out their song Atlas (there's a playthrough by Olly and Swany, too, which is super nice to watch), which is more upbeat and my personal favourite of theirs.
Edit: it may actually be Swany and Browne. Forgot who did which song playthrough.
I'm so glad you did this song. One of my all time favorite bands ever!!
Some suggestions... Fleshgod apocolypse- the violation and Bury Tomorrow- my revenge
Holy shit I'm so glad you checked these guys out.
I really miss having Chris Barretto in the band as his voice was perfect for their style. Their whole discography together are masterpieces, especially the Amanuensis.
If you want another great song by them to check out have a listen to Quasimodo or A.W.O.L.
I know TesseracT is mentioned a bunch in these comments, and I know you've done a few reviews of them, but I would loveeee to see more TesseracT. If you're interested in those syncopated riffs like what Monuments does, you should try "Singularity" by TesseracT. It has a similar swing feel, but they add a ton of other fun meter and tempo/feel changes!
This is the song that got me into these guys. should check out their song "The Watch"!
Great reaction as usual! Monuments have such powerful riffs
Suggestion: Architects - Dead Butterflies
This song is an absolute journey. I can't wait to hear it live someday
I love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey Key there's a group from argentina call invisible, they make some jazz rock fuzzion from 70's and I'll love to listend this whit your's comments thks!
Such a banger
"Reckoning" by Landmvrks (Landmarks)
The new vocalist of Monuments, Andy Cizek, did a one-take vocal performance of this track that he's posted to his youtube channel. It's really quite incredible. Highly recommended if you're interested in the vocal side.
Great live band! saw them with 'sleepmakeswaves'
Yes! Monuments is rad.
Gotta check out the new Rivers of Nihil track "Clean" I remember you enjoyed where owls know my name and feel you would enjoy this new one. Dig the channel man!
Would love to hear you breakdown setekh/khonsu/ba-pef by depths. 3 tracks in 9 minutes all flow beautifully
Please can you do a review for British band 'Enter Shikari - Zzzonked' :D
The Amanuensis is still in my top ten metal albums.
“Is it a meter or syncopation?” I think that’s why I have problems playing bass with people lol. Please do a first listen on Silversun Pickups if you can. I like “Songbirds” off there new album.
I was hoping you would do a video for BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME : FIX THE ERROR...I think you will dig it..love ur vids 👌
