About Monolord
Monolord is a doom metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden, formed in 2013.
Monolord formed in Gothenburg in 2013 as a trio of guitarist and singer Thomas V Jäger, bassist Mika Häkki and drummer Esben Willems. Their debut, Empress Rising, came out on RidingEasy Records in 2014 and was followed quickly by Vænir and Rust, building a following in the stoner and doom scene.
The songs are long and slow, built on downtuned riffs pushed through thick fuzz, with Jäger's vocals soaked in effects so they sit behind the instruments. The band moved to Relapse Records for No Comfort in 2019, and the 2021 album Your Time to Shine kept the same patient pace while giving the melodies more space.
