German heavy metal group Mystic Prophecy issued covers album Monuments Uncovered on January 12th, 2018 through Massacre Records.
Vocalist Roberto Dimitri Liapakis commented: “This album is like a love letter to the music that accompanied so many of us, myself included, in the ’70s, ’80s and ’90s — and believe me, you have not heard the songs like this before! I’m also really excited to show you a new and different side of Mystic Prophecy!”
The outing was produced by vocalist Robert Dimitri Liapakis and Mystic Prophecy at the Prophecy Studios, with mixing and mastering by Henrik Udd at Henrik Udd Recording Studios in Gothenburg, Sweden.
Cover artwork duties fell to Dušan Markovic.
