Press Reviews "A very good debut from this Oklahoma-based power metal outfit. The music is basically heavy as hell, and the guitars has some of the old Pantera sound.(4 pts. Reviewed in Scream #46 by;Frode Řien)- "This band builds some monumental Metal structures that glow with the benefit of their experience and hard work. Maybe we should simply describe their music as MONU-METAL. Rating 9 out of 10-by Paul Drosdzol of Nightshade Magazine" - "Those who think there are only cows in Oklahoma, need to wake up and realize that musically - you can get your ass kicked there (or wherever Monument is playing). 5 stars-by Jeff Dennis from Dallas zine Harder Beat" - "I've given this CD a lot of listens and am confident to say it is a winner. Baxter's Anti-Zine" - "This CD has a darker feel to it and shows how much Monument progressed musically and lyrically in the last few years. I think they deserve another 10 which is perfect.
