The Creation Dream 04:46
lyrics
THE CREATION DREAM Purest dream instantly conceived Seven days make the weak Cells divide, code propelled An imagination is born Warm hum, pervades prevailing atmosphere Explore a womb, introverted inner space From the moment that life was made out of nothing In the absence of light, but still it finds a way In the dreaming The secret to creation Rainbow of thought, sans prior knowledge Perceive new shapes, new colours not yet seen From the moment that life was made out of nothing In the absence of light, but still it found a way In the dreaming Safe from outside influence Forge a new year zero Sum of the parts equal .... sentience

All Suns Die 02:54
lyrics
ALL SUNS DIE Innocence is a blissful state Hold on for as long as you can Trap…its purity The day I first faced my mortality Was the day I found out the Sun would die All Suns Die If it were possible to turn back time To avoid the moment of discovering the lie Would you try? The day I first faced my mortality Was the day I found out the Sun would die An end to childhood, Which would start the journey To build foundations For what I will become The day I first faced my mortality Was the day I found out the Sun would die

Free Will 04:28
lyrics
FREE WILL To test faith; tempt alternatives Your devil is your potential…. A priest lies to protect a redundant view Tho’ never real it enslaved the world you knew Men behind the curtain pull the strings Open your eyes, learn for yourself Why must tradition hold you back? Why is what you have not enough for you? For every child that died unnecessarily There is a stooge that worshipped popularity Perhaps one piece of the fiction could be true? And that is this: free will Every creed there ever was Has nothing to hide behind All faiths will dissolve In the passages of time If your god would punish you Two thousand years of servitude Perhaps he is no god The god is you, (inside) free will When the clouds have moved aside You will see the puzzle gone Forevermore resist the mythology Criticise with what you can verify A choice apart from blind faith: The greatest sin of all All faiths will dissolve

about

In the course of its existence MONSTERWORKS has been responsible for albums as farfetched as a metal space adventure concept album in two parts (Spacial Operations - 2007and Singularity - 2009), but more recently has explored philosophical territory (The God Album - 2011) and an approach to recording that mostly relies on "old-school" technology, i.e. 24 track, 2-inch tape, like the classic albums the band grew up with. It was time to take a step back and rediscover the grit that made metal great, rather than the over-polished mechanical production that is often evident in modern releases.

Stylistically the band has always been difficult to pin down, at one moment death metal, in another stoner rock, then back to thrash; but the challenge to the listener is intentional and somehow in the end it works (in the context of heavy metal, which is the only essential influence). What is important is that the music does not switch between styles for the sake of it, nor to show off; it is just what feels right in the moment.

MONSTERWORKS has, possibly to its own detriment, never followed trends or towed the line; preferring to forge its own path in the continually evolving world of heavy metal. In this respect it has always stayed true to its mission statement:

IMAGE IS NOTHING; METAL IS EVERYTHING.
