From Monument To Masses
Dim Mak
Since forming in late 1999, Bay Area post-punk trio From Monument To Masses has embarked on a tireless campaign to deliver their own monumental music to the masses, diligently working to complete their five-song self-titled March 2002 debut release. The five songs successfully create a full album's worth of material since each track approaches ten minutes. Long intricate guitar passages mix with repetitive oratory samples in hynotic, traveling compositions which build, then unleash themselves.The music takes occasional slow but massive turns into new territory when the group's instrumental post-punk turns electronic. Bearing the influence of everyone from Roni Size and Afrika Bambatta to June of 44 and Trans Am, From Monument To Masses' mostly instrumental creations are worth checking out.
