Monks Of Mellonwah
Afraid To Die Volume 2
Featuring the title track single as well as three other new tracks, the EP displays yet another facade of the Monk’s dynamic music, featuring blazing riffs and brass arrangements that could have fronted the latest James Bond movie and vocals that gently pull at the heart.
With their music drawing influence from the soundscapes of Pink Floyd, virtuoso blues of Led Zeppelin and the blazing alternative rock of Muse, they manage to create a unique and masterful blend of new and old.
Afraid To Die Volume 2 will be released October 18th through MGM
