Monuments to perform in SA in August
UK prog-metal band Monuments will perform two shows in South Africa in August 2019. On 9 August 2019, the band will perform at Mercury Live in Cape Town with support from Deity's Muse and Thread of Omen before heading to Pretoria to perform at Platteland in Centurion with support from Deity's Muse and Red Helen on 10 August 2019.
At Krank’d Up 2015, the progressive metal luminaries Monuments left South African audiences bewildered at what they’d just witnessed. Since then, Monuments has toured the world with the likes of Animals As Leaders, Karnivool, Protest The Hero and Devin Townsend while making tonnes of new fans along the way.
Now armed with their new and arguably most innovative album, Phronesis, Monuments will be returning to South Africa in August 2019 for two exclusive headlining shows. They’ll be joined by rising alt-prog locals, Deity’s Muse who will also be supporting Monuments in the UK in July.
While Gnosis and The Amanuensis paved the way for Monuments’ return, Phronesis sets the multi-national outfit apart from any band on the planet. Its songs – “A.W.O.L.,” “Vanta,” “Ivory,” “Leviathan,” and “The Watch” – prove Monuments are on the leading edge of musical virtuosity, vocal superiority and lyrical smarts. Progressive metal is ready for Monuments to take the genre to new heights withPhronesis.
Tickets on sale via Computicket.
