FROM MONUMENT TO MASSES SET TO HIT THE ROAD THIS APRIL!

Post-rock trio From Monument to Masses are hitting the road this April, just after releasing their new album "On Little Known Frequencies" (OUT ON DIM MAK RECORDS). The band's epic compositions burst with an intensity that demands being witnessed live. The guys will be joining Dredg and Torche on the stint, making it a must-see tour for fans of brainy, heavy rock.

From Monument To Masses are political but never preachy, direct but never literal. Their mostly instrumental new album conjures up images that are vivid but open to interpretation. Francis Choung (drums/programming), Matthew Solberg (guitar), and Sergio Robledo-Maderazo (bass/synthesizer) fit together like the brushstrokes of an abstract expressionist painter.

"On Little Known Frequencies" finds the band weaving an eclectic array of genres into their post-rock core. Inspired by everything from hip hop beats to classical string arrangements to the explosive energy of early hardcore, FMTM twist these styles to match their aesthetic instead of throwing out overt references. The album is also laden with spooky snippets of sampled dialogue, another example of the band's decision to stray away from simply saying what they feel.

The band's biggest asset might be that they are collectively blessed with astounding musical chops as well as the desire to use them in a tasteful manner. While so much instrumental music comes off as a means to showcase musicianship, FMTM are able to drop jaws through emotion.
