      First album has a few bits but I think they just kind of have this vibe with Monuments that's more about the writing and not the technical proficiency wankfest a lot of bands do at times. Sure solos can serve the song but Monuments is about exploring part writing and rhythm guitar as John and Olly have said before.

      It's just that with monuments they have this vibe of songwriting that they feel might not need solos because ultimately riff writing is more fun and rhythm guitar should be the focus in modern metal of this style for them
