Album Review: Miss May I - Monument

Miss May I may be mistaken for a myriad of other bands trying to make their way out of the available bouquet. However, for the most part, their album “Monument” is everything you'd expect from a metalcore outfit lacking any real ambition towards experimenting. The majority of the tracks are ready-made cannons of pace loaded with enough screams to fill an 80's slasher film (i.e. “Answers”, “Our Kings”, “Relentless Chaos”).

On the other hand, when the band decide to delve into melodic sections, they create a sound similar to that of Scary Kids Scaring Kids, which is never a bad thing. A track like “Masses Of A Dying Breed” packs lots of punch but resonates with more ease as the melodic parts bring out some distinctive vocal work that isn't always evident from the other songs. “Creations” also stands out by combining the relentless thrashing of most of their album and adding some sweet vocal harmonies in a surprisingly beautiful mid-section.
