Monolith, the band featuring drummer Mike Mangini (ex-Dream Theater) alongside Hernán Rodríguez (bass/vocals) and Andy Barrow (guitar), have premiered a new video for their new song “Gooru.” You can check that out below:
Rodríguez commented:
“The process with ‘Gooru’ was long…. Andy and I created several iterations of the song, and it’s such a central part of the whole story. As always, Andy created all the parts and Gabo put them together the way you hear them now. The final arrangements of voices were created after several sessions where Gabo and Andy worked to find the perfect melody in each individual part. And in fact, the song had several more lyrics that didn’t make the final cut. All these lyrics were master crafted by Andy, and people will still end up hearing them tell other parts of the story, in other songs.
‘Gooru’ was conceived as a song that criticizes social media, and all the misinformation created by the corporate media in general. In the world of Monolith, these are the tools holding down our everyday heroes…. Fighting back is pushing the evolution of our own society, so it can be born. We’ve seen the Starchild born to the ‘Mother Martyr’, and the plot only thickens with ‘Gooru’, as the Monolith story shows a new dawn to humanity.”
