The new album by Ondelic, titled Monolith, rises as a sonic landmark — solid, immense, and unforgettable. Each track is a layer that builds an intense experience, guiding the listener through landscapes of raw energy, constant movement, and light breaking through concrete.

Monolith is more than music: it is a symbol of resilience and creation. The album conveys the idea that, even amid the chaos of modern life, there is an unshakable force within each of us. Heavy sounds blend with ethereal atmospheres, creating a balance between power and beauty, between weight and transcendence.

At the heart of the work, one line echoes like a manifesto:
“I am the second sun, rising against the silence.”
This verse captures the essence of the album — to rise again, radiate energy, and transform darkness into motion.

By the end of the journey, what remains is the sensation of something eternal — like a massive structure defying time itself. Monolith is an invitation to connect with that inner force, to stand tall in the face of challenges, and to let music become an indestructible mark along the way.

The Monster In The Mirror

“The Hidden Empire” is the moment the curtain finally falls.
The Seeker has seen through every illusion — the propaganda, the false gods, the architects of control — and now discovers the empire that has ruled unseen from the shadows.
It’s the truth behind civilization itself: a system built to harvest belief, obedience, and time.
This track marks the turning point of the album — the awakening becomes rebellion.
The world built on deception begins to fracture as light and noise collide.
Sonically, “The Hidden Empire” fuses Dream Theater’s grandeur with TesseracT’s precision, layering mechanical polyrhythms with orchestral and electronic textures.
It’s dark, powerful, and immersive — the sound of awakening within the machine.
🔥 Genre: Progressive Metal / Cinematic Djent
🎧 Theme: Revelation, Control, Rebellion, Truth
💿 From the concept album The Hidden Empire
“Welcome to The Hidden Empire —
The world beneath the world you see.”

Because you now have begun
To see the light of day

Fuck SoundCloud follow me on reverbnation and rorydavidmusic.com.  SoundCloud is a scam platform and is not worth all the hassle. I use CCM Studio in Denver, Co.  SO fuck you soundcloud motherfuckers.  I had 2 vinyls I was going to release but the stupid BOT and soundcloud staff are too fucking stupid to know the difference between originals and remixes. So, sorry fans, its not gonna happen, but raise hell with these assholes.

Been playing guitar and bass since I was a kid.  Gradually transitioned to learning keyboard and drums as well.  Started writing my own songs when I was 15.  I’ve written well over 1000 songs in my lifetime . I'm a fully functioning studio and work with various musicians worldwide. I enjoy working with all genres.  Im registered with ASCAP and hope and pray daily someone will buy my songs. Check out my website at rorydavidmusic.com. Soundcloud claims you can sell vinyls on here, I'm trying to sell 2.  I have ISRC numbers for every song yet they are making life a living hell, so I'll probably find a different site soon.
