The purpose of Monitored

A co assisted A.I. Progressive Metal band from Heraklion Crete, Greece

Every song is made by Vangelis Makridakis and lyrics are by him. Band members and music is co-created by A.I. tools and the mastering was man-made work.

The first album debut with the title "ruins" contains various states of human weaknesses and triumphs in search for better future. Vocals and melodies were the attention alongside the rhythms on each song.

The purpose of Monitored is to express human feelings, old and new, through written lyrics by Vangelis that re-discovered after many years of abundance. Stay tuned because there are more to come soon!
