People of the Monolith is an atmospheric sludge/doom band from Cork, Ireland, that was formerly known as This Weary Hour. It was formed in mid-2007 when Seán Murphy (guitars) and Eamonn O'Neill (vocals) began working on a project with intentions of creating dark, doomy metal. Rather than begin recruiting other members right-away, they first decided to write as a two-piece, hoping the resulting material would attract the right people for the job.
