Track By Tracks: MATT MILLER - Monument Of Velocity (2022)
1. The Fissure:
The album intro was written to present the idea of suspense mysterious and somewhat unsettling. This
song creates a lot of tension.
2. Abominable Sands:
Abominable Sands released the tension of The Fissure by making a statement right off the bat that this
album would feature a lot of fast passed and tense dynamics. This song also features a lot of exotic
scales and modes that are relieved by major chord progressions.
3. The Obscurantist:
The Obscurantist is a fun song to play and equally exciting to listen to. The song begins with an
adventurous melody that is quickly followed by a sweeping change in tonality. This song features a lot of
modern ideas but is also complimented by rhythmical complexity and grinding riffs.
4. Monument of Velocity:
The title track brings all the ideas from the album to a focused central point. Dynamic, crushing, and
souring this track encompasses all the elements from the lowest lows to the highest highs.
5. Coral Sword:
Coral Sword is based upon a Japanese folk melody that was written in the 1700s. The creation myth of
the islands of Japan also played an important role in the baroque-influenced melody. This song
represents a fusion of western classical ideas and Japanese phrasing as well as tonality.
6. Sacred Geometry:
Sacred Geometry is the sound of seamlessly shifting from one melody to another. Like a sorcerer casting
a spell, each phrase comes together to create a construct that is forever changing. Enhanced by the
nontraditional Indian-influenced melodies reminiscent of the vocal native to that culture.
7. The Acheron:
The title for the Acheron comes from the name of a ship in the late 1700s. This song is heavily influenced
by classical themes that build to an exciting climax.
8. Human Race Against Time:
This song begins with high intensity that makes a statement demanding the listener's attention. Never
faltering, each melody reinforces the dramatic feeling that this song creates. Catchy as it is invigorating,
this track is relentless.
