Former DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT Drummer RYAN VAN POEDEROOYEN Shares Playthrough Video Of IMONOLITH's "Hollow"

Imonolith, featuring drummer Ryan Van Poederooyen (Devin Townsend Project), guitarist Brian ‘Beav’ Wadell (Devin Townsend Project), Jon Howard (Threat Signal), guitarist Kai Huppunen (Methods of Mayhem, Noise Therapy) and Scott Whalen (Econoline Crush), have checked in with the following update:

"A few months back Imonolith's drummer, Ryan Van Poederooyen was a guest at the incredible online drum lesson company, Drumeo. After five years of trying to get him in there with his busy schedule, they finally got RVP to come in and shoot some tutorials and playthroughs. Ryan shot some video lessons and did three Imonolith playthrough videos. We're going to release all three videos on our YouTube page, one by one, that were filmed at Drumeo. The third video we're releasing is "Hollow" from State Of Being." 

Ryan says: "This is our most popular streamed song from all the music we've released to date. The drumming is more straight ahead with some cool beats and fills here and there. This is a great example of drumming for the song. There is tons of groove in this tune and one hell of a catchy chorus!"

Imonolith recently released a bass-heavy cover of Björk's "Army Of Me". Watch the lyric video below. Stream or purchase the single here.

Ryan: "Imonolith are excited to release our version of the classic Björk hit, 'Army Of Me'. I had an idea of how to cover the song back in 2011 and demoed it with a past project but never released it. I brought up this version to everyone in Imonolith, they dug it, so we re-recorded it with a few new twists. It’s basically a heavier version of the original song with some big modern day production. Jon did an incredible job paying respect to Björk’s vocal melodies. Musically, the chorus and a few other parts of the song get injected with some new energised patterns. We’re stoked on how it turned out and can’t wait for everyone to hear what we did with this classic song."
