UK Metallers Monuments Added To Soundwave Line-Up

With their complex instrumental metal grooves, UK’s Monuments are the fourth band confirmed for Soundwave 2015.

Fronted by ex-Periphery vocalist Chris Barretto and leading the progressive metal scene with their brutal tech-metal (would you expect anything less with Barretto behind the wheel?), they join Butcher Babies, Patient Pending and coldrain, which, if we’re not mistaken, makes three metal bands on the bill.

Things are looking pretty good so far for metal, but if you’re a fan and have doubts about what to expect from this year’s line-up, worry no more. We analyzed the past four years to see what percentage metal takes each year and chucked the results into some fancy looking charts, which you can check out here.
