IMONOLITH Debut album, State of Being will be relased on March 27th, guest features include Jens Kidman (Meshuggah)
IMONOLITH was formed in February 2018 by Drummer, Ryan ‘RVP’ Van Poederooyen (Devin Townsend Project/Band) and Guitarist, Brian Waddell (Devin Townsend Project/ Band). The pair originally started writing Imonolith’s brand of music in 2015, while respectively playing in the Devin Townsend Project (2009-2018). ‘RVP’ and Waddell pursued Vocalist – Jon Howard (Threat Signal, Arkaea) and 2nd Guitarist – Kai Huppunen (Methods of Mayhem, Noise Therapy) and lastly Bassist – Scott Whalen (Econoline Crush), to complete the band.
State of Being features 10 hook-laden, riff-heavy tracks including “Hollow,” the debut single that made big waves for IMONOLITH straight out of the gate, racking up 216K Spotify streams in 2019. There are also two very special guest performances from Jens Kidman (Meshuggah) and Swedish vocalist Johannes Eckerström.
Having spent much of 2019 writing, arranging, recording and fine-tuning State of Being, the band worked incredibly hard to achieve their goal – to make an engaging heavy metal album. The high production video to “Instinct” is not only a great example of the band’s quality aesthetic, but it also serves as a look at IMONOLITH’s collective personality.
IMONOLITH will be touring globally for the next two years and have announced their first ever UK/EU headline dates, commencing on March 27 in Sheffield, UK.
