UK progressive tech metallers MONUMENTS have now launched their brand new video (directed by Stuart Birchall for Numinous Pictures) for the song “97% Static” from their new album, Gnosis. In regards to the video, the band comments: “After sleeping through a hundred million centuries we have finally opened our eyes on a sumptuous planet, sparkling with color, beautiful with life. It’s time to save ourselves! It’s thrilling to be alive at a time when humanity is pushing against the limits of understanding. Even better, we may eventually discover that there are no limits.”
