The long awaited debut album from These Monsters 'Call Me Dragon' will officially be release on the 1st March in the UK and 10th May throughout Europe. Recorded at Foel Studios, Wales with Chris Fielding (Electric Wizard, The Klaxons, Napalm Death) the album 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. This is also our tenth release & our first collaboration between ourselves & Function Records !

Creating largely instrumental, frequently cacophonous and consistently transfixing songs, they rock like proper nutjobs in a manner thats wilfully experimental but never pretentious. Their growing reputation for putting on one hell of a live show is richly deserved, too Rocksound ones to watch December 2009 "One of the most interesting and engaging acts Ive heard from the UK in a long fucking time no word of a lie." Collective-zine "Time has frozen as witnesses halt in their tracks, intoxicated by the heady miasma of post-rock resonance. Both comforting and devastating."
