Canadian metal powerhouse IMONOLITH has revealed a fourth single, “Becoming the Enemy,” featuring a guest appearance by well-known Swedish vocalist Johannes Eckerström, from their upcoming debut, State of Being, due out March 27.
 
A lyric video for “Becoming the Enemy” is available today via Consequence of Sound at https://consequenceofsound.net/2020/03/imonolith-becoming-the-enemy-avatar-johannes-eckerstrom/.
 
“’Becoming the Enemy’ is a song about becoming your own worst enemy,” says drummer Ryan ‘RVP’ Van Poederooyen. “All of us have done it at some point of our lives. The point of the song lyrically is to learn from your mistakes instead of repeating them over and over.”
 
The lyric video for “Becoming the Enemy” features a character called ‘The Sickness,” who reprises his role from the “Instinct” video, released in January.
 
“We continue the theme we started in ‘Instinct,’” RVP explains. “The theme of our album ‘State of Being’ is about how people deal with various states of being throughout their lives. We thought having ‘The Sickness’ appear in a couple videos would help tie everything together and tell a visual story to go along with the album as a whole.”
 
The forthcoming full-length 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. 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. With the release of the three singles thus far, IMONOLITH has begun receiving worldwide praise that has garnered them a massive number of streams and attention from the media and fans alike.
