Monstrumental is a band that transcends genres. To categorise them would mean to limit them to something in particular, which would be in utter contradiction to what they are. But if you twist their arms, they’ll tell you their music is saturated with a mixture of psychedelic grunge-rock-punk with a hint of reverb, a splash of delay, and a surge of other freakishly pleasant sounds. The band’s members have known one another since time immemorial. Or at least since the days of primary school. However, it wasn’t until 2013 that they started playing music together. What began as a hobby gradually evolved into a more serious pursuit. With perks. Today, Monstrumental occasionally drift into darker atmospheres with a considerable degree of distortion and heavier riffs. Unlike their early instrumental compositions, their current work includes some additional “grunge à la punk” vocals.
