History
Founded by Rich Stadtlander in 2014 with Lowell Gerry joining the band soon after. They began writing original metalcore and deathcore songs with very dark lyrics and heavy guitar riffs. Crystal, Ashtin and Bronson later joined and the group performed their debut set opening for Carnifex in Honolulu, Hawaii. After getting some radio play and performing at local venues, they opened for Suicide Silence at Honolulu's Metalfest in 2015. After playing with Suicide Silence, Rich, Bronson and Ashtin parted ways from the band. Brandon came onboard to play drums and the band continued as a four-piece. Lowell performed as the vocalist during this time while Josh picked up the guitar mantle. During this time as a four-piece, they opened for Chelsea Grin at Honolulu's Metalfest in 2017. Josh parted ways from the band so he could focus on his other project Convoluted Planes. This Moment Onward's current lineup has Lowell back on guitar with Rolando fronting the band as the vocalist. Kawika is also on guitar, James is on bass and Brandon is still on drums. They continue to perform in Honolulu alongside international acts and other local metal bands such as Nesta, Skylene and Enders. This Moment Onward has played fundraising events for charity as well. Events such as Drive and The Ultimate Fundraiser, which benefit the local homeless community in Honolulu.
