MONUMENTS - PHRONESIS (STANDARD CD JEWELCASE) (CD)

The word Phronesiswas a big part of society and philosophy in ancient Greece. Phronesisis wisdom, but a really specific type of wisdom to do with oneself. Wisdom on your practical actions, good judgement, being excellent in character, practical wisdom. Learning what to do and what not to do based on experience, being mindful of everything around you. Something that, at times, all of us can be pretty terrible at.

After touring the world heavily in support of their album “The Amanuensis” (2014) the intercontinental quintet needed to takea break and catch a breath for multiple reasons. However, the band kept working on “Phronesis” that works as a turning point of the progressive metal band on many levels. The self-produced album was recorded between March and July of 2018 in various studios throughout the world: While guitars and bass were recorded by Jim Pinder(Bullet For My Valentine, Machine Head, While She Sleeps…) at Treehouse Studios, Derbyshire, UK the drums were played, recorded, tracked and engineered by AnupSastry(ex-Skyharbor). Chris Barrettorecorded his vocals with Cristian Machado (Ill Nino, Leeway) at SoundwarsStudios, NJ, USA, then everything was mixed and mastered by Joel Wanasekat JTW Music, Milwaukee, WI, USA.
