These Monsters are a rock band from Leeds in the UK first formed in 2005. Since then they have had numerous lineups, releases and musical directions

Their last album 'Call Me Dragon' was recorded at Foel Studios, Wales with Chris Fielding (Electric Wizard, The Klaxons, Napalm Death) and mastered at Turan Audio (Jimmy Eat World, Marilyn Manson, Will Haven). Call Me Dragon demonstrates the freaked out, riff driven prog-force that the respected four-piece have become. With their love of large vintage amplifiers, big drums and high energy, passionate performances, These Monsters deliver a huge live sound and are developing a reputation as one of the loudest and most exciting underground bands in the UK.

With vintage amplifiers, big drums and high energy performances These Monsters deliver a huge sound. Characterised by a juggernaut of energy, aggression and vaulting creative ambition; a continually evolving musical and artistic development has led the band from expansive walls of noise through to prog worship all the way back to straight up rock and roll.

“One of the most interesting and engaging acts I’ve heard from the UK in a long fucking time – no word of a lie.” – Collective-zine

“These monsters are simply amazing. The four-piece make blunderbusses of songs that would give Godspeed You! Black Emperor or Mogwai nightmares. A vicious, energetic and loud-enough-to-be-pornographic live show.” – Sandman Magazine

“Time has frozen as witnesses halt in their tracks, intoxicated by the heady miasma of post-rock resonance. Both comforting and devastating.” – The Fly Magazine
