Monumension is the sixth studio album by Norwegian metal band Enslaved. It was released on 27 November 2001, through Osmose Productions. It is Enslaved's first album feature lyrics sung entirely in English, although some versions of the album include the Old Norse track "Sigmundskvadet" as a bonus.
Monumension was the last Enslaved album to feature guitarist R. Kronheim; Arve Isdal would replace him on Below the Lights.
All tracks written by Ivar Bjørnson, except as noted.
From the reviews the album has received, Monumension has been generally well received.
AllMusic praised the album, calling it "astounding" and "truly daring".Chronicles of Chaos's review was generally favorable, though writing, "Monumension occasionally comes across as too over-the-top in terms of its experimentation, and the album as a whole lacks some focus and consistency."
