Monolord announce U.S. headlining tour Spring 2019
Gothenburg, Sweden trio Monolord announce U.S. headlining tour dates in Spring 2019, including their performance at the inaugural Psycho Smokeout festival in Los Angeles on April 20th, 2019 and at Desert Fest NYC. Please see all dates below.
Monolord’s recently released third album, Rust, received universal praise in reviews, and landed atop multiple Album of The Year lists for 2017 — including the #1 Album of 2017 on the Doom Charts collective of journalists, bloggers, radio and podcasters. Rust is available to hear & share on YouTube and Bandcamp.
Monolord is a rare breed: A band both encompassing and transcending genre; a vortex of heavy rock density that consumes all others. Their thunderous, tuneful heft has built a rabid international fanbase in short order since their 2014 debut. But Rust, the band’s third full length, truly exemplifies why some refer to them as the Nirvana of doom.
Monolord’s enveloping, syrupy sludge is a vibe, it’s a state of mind. Not riffs for riffs sake, but a collective buzzing, rattling and rumbling that’s more total environment than collection of songs. Together, guitarist/vocalist Thomas Jäger, drummer Esben Willems and bassist Mika Häkki create a massive, dynamic sound with ultra-low frequencies serving as its fourth member.
Rust is available on LP, CD and download, released September 29th, 2017 via RidingEasy Records.
