Beneath by One-Eyed Monsters
"Beneath" finds the Monsters in an intense place. After releasing "Ambrosia" in January of 2024, the band sought to up the ante. To out do itself and make a bolder statement than in previous works. In the spring of 2024, the unit set back out to the studio, and walked away with something fierce.
Diving deeper into time signatures and diminished harmony, "Beneath" is more technical than the rest of the Monsters catalog. The music, written and recorded during a period plagued by personal issues, reflects a sense of doom. That being said, it doesn't go down without a fight. The band sharpens its teeth, making use of stark time changes and dissonances only previously hinted at. Watch out. The resulting songs are sneaky and will bite you when you least expect it.
One-Eyed Monsters turned up the heat, and jumped into the fire. What came out is a band more assured than before in its sound and identity.
