Imonolith, the new project featuring Jon Howard (Threat Signal/Arkaea), Ryan ‘RVP’ Van Poederooyen (Devin Townsend Project), Brian Waddell (Devin Townsend Project), Bryan Stroud (Strapping Young Lad/Fear Factory), and Kai Huppunen (Methods of Mayhem/ Noise Therapy) have revealed their debut single with “Hollow.” The track was recorded and produced by Brian Howes and Jay Van Poederooyen at Van Howes Studios in Los Angeles, CA. The song is about personal battles we face as drummer Ryan explained:
“‘Hollow’ is a song about the personal battles we all can face internally. Social pressures and self expectation can drive you to a point of feeling hollow inside if you don’t meet specific standards in your mind. The song itself actually has a positive message built into it. It’s not about feeling hollow, it’s more about preventing that hollow feeling that any one of us can develop through negative thinking and limited beliefs.”
He added:
“As for ‘Hollow’, musically it represents the catchier side of Imonolith’s music. We have varying influences spread throughout the band and we don’t like to play just one style of music. We have a more metal crushing side, a catchier radio side and then music that fits in-between our heavy and catchier vibes. We always aim to make Imonolith’s overall sound diverse and interesting. Most of all, we’re always focused on trying to write a great song, no matter if it’s heavy or catchy.”
