Monolith - Monolith (1998)

The one and only album from this band from USA.

The band was a trio with a lineup of drums, percussion, bass, keyboards and vocals.

A guest added guitars.

There is a lot of bands with the Monlith name and this album is a bit hard to come by. But I finally found it.

This forty minutes long album starts out as an Emerson, Lake & Palmer album. Epic symphonic prog with lots of keyboards. The ELP comparison is off course also helped by the fact that Monolith and ELP has the same setup. They are both a trio too.

The most bombastic keyboards excesses cannot be found in Monolith though as the album is quickly moving onto pomp prog, art-rock and then AOR where this album ends with a pretty catchy song.

Most of the songs are pretty catchy. And they sounds dated with their typical 1980s sound.

The result is a decent album. It is an album for the keyboard fans out there. 

Check it out if you can find it.
