UK tech-metallers, MONUMENTS, have started a search for a new singer following the departure of vocalist Matt Rose. The band posted a new instrumental track entitled “The Indulger” which can be seen below. Also the band created a download link for that track and “Doxa” taken from their current album, “Gnosis”, you can download this track at this location.

The band lists a few guidelines though:

“- Preferably over 21.

- Preferably UK based (but if you think you got what it takes then by all means we’re open to anyone, even if you live on Mars).
- MUST have touring experience/at least gig experience.
- All auditions must have ZERO autotune or editing, we want to hear your tuning and your groove.
- We’d also like to ask for you to not post links to your audition online, let’s keep this between us and yourselves… for now.
- Please send all auditions to our email address auditions@thisismonuments.com and not to our inbox or band members inboxes, just to make sure we don’t miss you out!

Thanks, looking forward to hearing everyone’s audition! And remember: THERE IS NO TIME LIMIT, take your time, Rome wasn’t built in a day.”
