MONOLITH is a progressive rock project, founded by keyboardist & songwriter Bill Hamer. Initially, the music was influenced by progressive bands such as E.L.P. , Triumvirat, Uriah Heep and U.K., until the popularity of that prog-rock began to fade. As time passed, the music became more commercially progressive, similar to Asia, Journey, Saga and so on. The debut of this website heralds the return of MONOLITH and their upcoming CD release.

                                             THE ORIGINAL MEMBERS OF MONOLITH


 

      Some time has passed since the first Monolith CD. I had literally given up on music for a few years. However, recently someone inspired me to jump in again. So now, I have compiled a number of never released singles for the upcoming CD. There will be a mixture of songs in the commercial progressive rock style and I have also introduced a ballad ( I'm sure I'll catch hell for that one, but it's a good song, nonetheless).
"Mister Personality" and "When Push Comes to Shove" appear again on the new CD, because this is where they actually belong.
   I believe this new CD captures the essence of my creativity over the years.  I am extremely grateful and privileged to have worked with Gordon Winfield (bass & vocals), Steve DeAcutis (guitar), Jay Dittamo (drums) as well as Rich Chambers (drums),  Ron Mattia (drums) and Chris Goger (drums). I'm not sure where some of those guys are today, but I wish them well wherever they are. All superb musicians in their own right.
