There are singers, there are vocalists, there are front men, and there are a very small few who own all three categories. Jon Howard, of Imonolith is that guy.

I've been a fan since the early 2000's when Jon's old band, Threat Signal, made a serious splash on a website designed to help you discover the world's best talent. At the time, Threat Signal was riding the top of the metal charts at Garage band, and garnering attention from every heavy music media outlet in the world.

Who were these masters from Hamilton Ontario? Where did the come from and what musical sorcery was this?

Turns out, Jon and his band were just sort of winging it. Nobody in the band really knew what they had, but amazingly, they were heard by the right ears, and transported around the world, creating this mystery and weird legend that helped Jon fully form, sprout his less than angelic wings, and never fully place his feet on the ground again.

Our chat was utter madness and I had an amazing time... not gonna lie. That said, we still live in a world where the internet isn't our friend and occasionally we get audio lags and drop offs, so excuse us in advance.... however, most importantly, we have a righteous conversation and I got a new friend out of the deal.

If you didn't know Jon before, or if truly brutal heavy metal scares you, well... take another listen and consider that maybe, just maybe you've been missing out.

This is my interview with the voice of destruction, rage, and anger. Jon Howard, or Imonolith, on the Rockstar Superhero podcast.
