More than an independent band, Monument are an offshoot of British hard rock band Zior, who released two albums in the early 70s. Their only album, "The First Monument", is the result of an all-night, drunken jam session involving the four members of Zior.
The album features a heavy, distorted, Hammond-drenched sound, and Zior's trademark occult lyrical themes.
This proved to be last outing of Zior.
