A personal musical kaleidoscope

 

"With Monumentata, Nad Sylvan invites the listener on a journey through his own memories, reflections, and states of mind. The album moves freely between expressions – from dramatic hard rock and sweeping symphonic passages to intimate soul and rhythmic grooves – yet always with progressive rock as its musical backbone.

 

Each song stands as a self-contained chapter, coloured by a specific mood and a lyric drawn directly from Nad’s own life. This eclectic palette is held together by his distinctive voice, his storytelling, and a consistent artistic vision that makes Monumentata feel like a unified whole rather than a mere collection of songs.

 

It’s an album that dares to be multifaceted without losing direction – a musical monolith built from different stones, all cut from the same mountain."
