Hallows Eve were a standard thrash band. If you enjoy good grooves and moshing beats this is an ideal album. The production is not great but the spirit behind the music helps make up for this. What Hallows Eve lacked in originality they made up for in intensity. Not as strong as Death and Insanity (previous album which featured a song on the Rivers Edge Soundtrack) this album still has excellent riffs and rhythym. "Rot Gut" and "Monument" are examples of the mid tempo grooves that permeate this album. Not as slow as Celtic Frost or as fast as Slayer, Monument is a good example of a grinding, mid-tempo thrash album. The lyrics are not particularly inspiring but they do cover other issues besides the standard death and demons lyrics of most thrash albums. A cover of Queen's "Sheer Heart Attack" is included on this album and a playful parody of Elvis- type music at the end of the album reveals a sense of humor often missing from thrash bands. Check these guys from Georgia out if you haven't already. This is classic thrash.

Welcome back to the classic heavy metal songs, with a great doze of speed. Although i liked better death&insanity this album holds the mind thrilling success of "speed freak", great guitars and as a plus "Monument" and "Rot gut" and "no sanctuary" will lead you to a headbanging experience in the confort of your car (you must drive in order to enjoy speed freak)

GREAT memory to bring back, or a big step into classic heavy metal for younger audiences.

This is an awesome CD from a well-underrated thrash band from the 80's. If you liked the early Metallica/Megadeth/Overkill/Testament/Death Angel CD's,, then this is a MUST for any old thrash fan. I wish they put out more CD's and would love to know what happened to them. Also check out Death and Insanity and Tales of Terror. True/Classic Thrash at its best!!!!

I will keep this brief, Please foward to Tommy Stewart,If i spelled something wrong-Who Cares.I give the review 10 stars
the reason because,I have been there and im still a lost soul.
But the bottom line is some of the greatest Writeing every till
this day. Steven Rude Dawg Hofer.

The title track is a testament to most great heavy metal bands that never achieve the commercial success they deserve: their albums are a great monument to nothing. I can't stand the band Queen. So they greatly improve the song Sheer Heart Attack.
