notes

"Kaiju Daisenso"... Japanese for "Giant Monster Battle." It is from this notion of a great clash of evils that THE MONSTER PROJECT takes its inspiration: the terrifying against the horrible, the wicked versus the cruel, the gargantuan opposite the colossal.

An evolutionary offshoot of the New York City progressive art-rock collective with influences ranging from Black Sabbath to Bernard Herrmann, the Project presents creative but faithful rock arrangements of classic monster movie scores. The septet performed several times in 2005 and 2006 before dissolving, having accomplished what they set out to do, but not before recording their entire répertoire, available exclusively here on CD Baby!

  • Great Stuff!
    author: Bill

    An unlikely combination...heavy rock music and monster movies. But on this album, it works! If you like kaiju movies, this album is a must own!

  • Superb!
    author: Anon

    Very well done album- you can tell it was done with some real love and hard work. Very faithful interpretations of the Ifukube classics. I'd say five stars if they got a little more daring/creative with it, but I really can't complain. Pick it up. That is all.

  • Great CD!! Metal and kaiju go so together!!
    author: Clyde Patterson Lamb

    I really love this cd. I always like to play metal music while watching kaiju movies and this cd does it!!! If you like godzilla and metal, get this NOW HUMAN FILTH!!!! (Invader Zim quote).

  • Awesome CD! Highly Recommended!!
    author: Edward Koscinski

    This CD is AWESOME!! As a lover of both Godzilla movies and progressive music this one has it all for me! It is constantly in my CD player whether in my car, at home, or at work. I really appreciate the way they have paid tribute to the original music scores while still leaving their own unique sound on each track. If you are a fan of Godzilla or Soundtracks, or instrumental progressive music I'm sure you'll love this CD, so go ahead and buy it already!
