NOTES
THEY DO NOT GET MUCH RARER THAN THIS !!!!
THIS IS UK PROG PSYCH BAND MONUMENT WHO ARE AN OFFSHOT OF UK HARD ROCK OCCULT BAND ZIOR, WHO RELEASED TWO LP'S IN THE EARLY 70'S, WHICH ARE ALSO EXTREMELY RARE. THEIR ONLY LP UNDER MONUMENT, CALLED "THE FIRST MONUMENT" WAS RELEASED IN 1971, AND IS THE RESULT OF AN ALL NIGHT DRUNKEN JAM SESSION, INVOLVING THE FOUR MEMBERS OF ZIOR. THE ALBUM FEATURES A HEAVY PSYCHEDELIC SOUND, WITH ZIORS TRADEMARK OCCULT LYRICAL THEMES, AN AMAZING ALBUM!!
Monument aren't the first rock group to profess an interest in witchcraft and voodoo, think Ozzy and Sabbath etc but in their case it is no mere gimmic.
Vocalist and keyboard man Steve Lowe was a founder member of a thriving witches coven in Essex and the group's other three members all share his dedication to the occult, a dedication which shows in their music.
