IMONOLITH Drummer RYAN VAN POEDEROOYEN Celebrates Debut Album's One Year Anniversary - "It Was A Massive Accomplishment For The Band"
March 29, 2021, 3 years ago
Imonolith features 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). Van Poederooyen has checked in with the following update:
"March 27th, 2021 marked the one year anniversary of Imonolith 's debut album State Of Being. Unfortunately, it came out at the onset of Covid-19 but we pushed through and released it on our own label, worldwide. It was a massive accomplishment for the band, even if Covid put a major damper on the release and touring. We were supposed to start our first tour supporting our debut album in Europe / UK on March 27th, 2020 but that was obviously canceled by the pandemic as well. Nothing was easy, but you have to persevere, which we did. We're hoping to finally follow through with our headlining UK / European Tour in Nov / Dec 2021. Fingers crossed.
Brand new Imonolith music is being released soon and we're moving forward one way or another. In reference to all that has happened to this band or any band during the pandemic, I think this quote below is fitting, whether it be one person or a group of people like Imonolith:
'A man is not finished when he’s defeated; he’s finished when he quits.'
- Richard M. Nixon
Onwards."
