Imonolith - https://www.facebook.com/imonolithband
For as much as its inflexible form resembles a blank canvas, the existence of a monolith suggests a deeper meaning. Such obelisks appear throughout mythology, literature, and film, implying a curious level of ambiguity and inviting discourse...
IMONOLITH marks the convergence point of five career musicians whose experience and acumen align seamlessly, almost as if by destiny. These five pieces fit into place
within a hypnotic hybrid of hard rock melodies and metallic proficiency. The quintet—Ryan “RVP” Van Poederooyen [drums], Brian ‘Beav' Waddell [guitar], Jon Howard [vocals], Kai Huppunen [guitar], and Scott Whalen [bass]—introduce this signature sound on their 2020 independent full-length debut,
State of Being. “We’ve all had professional careers and played in different groups for a long time,” says Ryan. “We’re drawing on all of that experience to do something new. When you think of a monolith, you think of a grand and solid structure. It resembles what we want the band to be, while making it an intriguing experience.” “I feel very fortunate to be in a band with such talented musicians and great guys,” adds Scott. “Being able to join a band of this caliber is very humbling. Everything has
worked out rad so far. It’s really meant to be.” Ryan and Brian logged nearly ten years recording and touring in Devin Townsend Project. As early as 2015, they started writing together and tracking demos for a possible collaboration. In late 2018, they sought out a singer. Heeding the call, Threat Signal and Arkaea co-founder Jon Howard submitted a demo within a day and left Ryan and Brian, “Floored and blown away.” Welcoming the vocalist in the fold, the musicians rounded out the lineup with guitarist Kai, previously of Methods of Mayhem
and Noise Therapy, and ex-Econoline Crush bassist Scott. Imonolith recorded their debut album State of Being
between March and July 2019. Produced, mixed and engineered by Ryan’s brother Jay Van Poederooyen [Nickelback, Chris Cornell, Daughtry], the guys collectively “decided to go old school with the recording.” “This album went back to the basics with the drums being recorded to two-inch tape and no samples,” reveals Kai. “All of the vocals were raw takes with no auto-tuning. All of the bass and guitars were recorded through amps. What you hear on the album is what we heard when we recorded. It felt great to record like that as a band.” “We come from different backgrounds and styles,” Brian adds. “However, the focus is to just write the best songs possible built on riffs, first and foremost.” Right out of the gate, IMONOLITH made waves with the debut single “Hollow,” racking up 216K Spotify streams in 2019 and receiving looks from Loudwire, Brave Words, The PRP, and more within a few months’ time. Maintaining this momentum, the 2020 follow-up single “Instinct” hinges on guttural guitar riffs before slamming into a jackhammer refrain uplifted by Jon’s clean vocals.
