Monolord

About

Monolord doesn't just play doom metal; they conjure it. Hailing from Gothenburg, Sweden, the trio crafts sonic monoliths built upon colossal riffs, glacial tempos, and a thick, suffocating atmosphere that could crush mountains. Their sound, a potent brew of early Electric Wizard's hypnotic bleakness, Sleep's sprawling compositions, and a dash of the melodic sensibility of fellow Swedes Graveyard, has carved them a unique space in the stoner doom landscape. Formed in 2013, Monolord quickly gained traction with their self-titled debut, establishing their signature sound. Each subsequent album, from the relentlessly heavy "Vænir" to the more nuanced "Rust," has solidified their reputation as masters of sonic devastation. Their live performances are legendary for their sheer volume and hypnotic intensity, leaving audiences in a state of near-religious awe. While collaborations have been rare, Monolord's focus remains laser-locked on perfecting their monolithic sound. They've steadily built a dedicated following through relentless touring across Europe and North America. Currently, they are working on new material, promising to further refine their brand of earth-shattering doom. Monolord isn't just a band; it's an experience.
