Menza Nation's video: Monstrous - Down By Nick Menza Erik Weber

"I was going through more of Nick's archived audio files that I overlooked in the past and came across a folder titled Monstrous. Inside the folder, I found 10 unreleased demo tracks titled 'Last In Line', 'Hollow', 'Out Of Control', 'Down', 'Gleaming', 'Prove My Worth', 'Everything Is Fine', 'Naked All Over', 'Dreamers' and 'Big Shots'. To the best of my knowledge, Monstrous was the name of the project and all the music for the songs were written, produced and recorded by Nick Menza and guitarist / singer-songwriter Erik Weber in 2005 at Menza's Disintegrator Studios in Studio City, California. Nick also played bass on the song 'Last In Line'. These songs have never been released to the public, so this is the first time anyone is hearing them. The two minute and ten second demo track, 'Down', features an old school alternative heavy rock sound with aggressive thunderous drums from Menza with catchy clean, edgy melodic vocals filled with harmonies and melodies from Weber, along with down-tuned crunchy guitars. Weber was also the sound engineer on Menza's drums he recorded for theme song for 'TV War', which was said to be the longest-running metal TV show in Europe. It started airing in March 1999 on Mad TV, the biggest music channel in Greece, and was broadcast every Wednesday at 23:00 CET. The 'TV War' theme song was composed by Memorain mainman Ilias Papadakis and featured David Ellefson, Jeff Waters and the late Nick Menza. Menza had been writing, recording and producing constantly, but only releasing sporadic singles for years. That will all change when the floodgates open with the upcoming release of the late drummer's long awaited documentary film, This Was My Life: The Story Of Nick Menza." "This Was My Life: will be released later this year.
