UK Supermetallers MONSTERWORKS have released the visual accompaniment to the track 'Late Heavy Bombardment' off their upcoming new album, Earth.

The video, along with the song's lyrics, is posted at this location.

4.5 billion years in the making... Earth will be available, via Eat Lead and Die Music, from the MONSTERWORKS webstore on August 20th with digital distribution through the usual outlets on August 30th. The album will be available as a special edition numbered digipak CD signed by the band, with lyric booklet and two bonus tracks.

Vocalist/Guitarist Jon had this to say about the concepts surrounding the album,

"I am intrigued by evolution, not just of biological organisms but also how the physical world changes over time, so it was not that much of a stretch to consider doing an album themed around the life-cycle of Earth; beginning with its origin 'From Dust and Gravity' where a clumping together of rock and minerals left over from a supernova explosion formed a globe orbiting an infant star. Each track progresses chronologically, from an early period called the 'Late Heavy Bombardment' which is thought to have delivered water and seeded chemical elements that developed into life and what was to be our 'Last Universal Ancestor.' Then we move onto a time where cyanobacteria started to photosynthesize and a process of 'Oxygenation' paved the way for more complex animals to evolve, 'Powered by Fate' as it were. Explosions of life, even when resulting in huge animals like dinosaurs, were often 'Bookended by Extinction' events that wiped the slate almost entirely clean until our chance came in the present 'Aeon of Man.' 


Earth honors the seemingly miraculous yet naturally occurring planet on which we live. The title track is the only song that gets a little preachy about our responsibility as custodians of the environment; the rest is just a tale of the sequence of events that got us this far. So take from it philosophically what you will, MONSTERWORKS primarily aims to produce metal which blurs the boundaries between preposterousness and the familiar while hopefully initiating a little independent thought along the way."

If you want an idea about what Monsterworks sounds like, past reviews put it best:

 

"There are some big shapes within these tracks. Very big shapes. Each track has a completely different sound, starting with huge chunky riffs to chew on and then turning to sludge-like doom number, closing with a tranquil, melodic tune."  

- Culture Bomb Magazine


"At times bizarre, at times incomprehensible, and at all times utterly interesting. The experience gives you so much in such a short amount of time that it's absolutely worth the ride, even if you only manage to take in half of everything available."
 - BloodyGoodHorror.com

 "Monsterworks have no boundaries and flip the bird at the rule book."
 - WithGuitars.com

 "With powerful lyrics that doubt one's belief, the band's music is far more than harmony and technique, for it might make a person think and confront himself with things he may consider undoubtedly true."

- Metal Shock Finland

 

"Monsterworks is an amazing grungey, progressive, sometimes thrashy sometimes insane kind of band with amazing musicianship and incredible songwriting abilities."   

 - Tragedy Axe
