Imonolith release new song ‘The Reign (Remix)’

IMONOLITH have released a new song!

The new song, titled The Reign (Remix), is a remixed version of the track taken from the Canadian metal band’s debut album State Of Being, which was released in March 2020. The song features guest vocals from MESHUGGAH‘s Jens Kidman.

Speaking about the new version of the song, drummer Ryan Van Poederooyen says, “we decided to take one of our most popular songs, The Reign from our debut album, State Of Being, and do a remix of it as part of our upcoming Progressions EP, being released in March 2022. We saw the potential of how an industrial-type remix could sound and we felt this song deserved to be a standalone single. The Reign features guest vocals by the mighty, Jens Kidman from MESHUGGAH. He absolutely killed it on his performance and that is yet another big reason why we felt this song deserved its own release as a revamped single.”

On the lyrics and production, Ryan continues, “the song is about how modern society tries to influence you and/or tells you how to live your life, when truly you should always do what you love and love what you do, not what others want. As for the production, Jason ‘JVP’ Van Poederooyen did a phenomenal job with the remix. It’s massive sounding and has a cool industrial twist to it. We’re all pumped on how this remix turned out!”

Alongside the release of the remixed version of the song, the band have announced new members Oswin Wong [THREAT SIGNAL] on guitar and Conan Freeman [PUNCHDRUNK] on bass. They replace Brian Waddell and Scott Whalen who have both decided to step down from touring.
