Monolord will soon be rumbling our skies with gigantic doom as they reveal the dates for their first North American tour since 2022 where they will be trekking the Western states this time around with support from Mizmor. It is a huge announcement to make at the very same time that the Swedish three-piece – Thomas Jäger, Esben Willems and Mika Häkki – is putting the finishing touches on their fifth studio album, which was recently recorded with the legendary Sylvia Massy. Tickets for fans who want to get a live dose of the band’s “heavy-as-mountains” sound and mesmerizing grooves go on sale this Friday, December 5, for shows that will take them to historic venues like The Regent Theater and Great American Music Hall.
A press release from Monolord’s management revealed that tickets are on sale via Monolord.com (beginning this Friday, December 5, at 10 a.m. local time). Mizmor supports on all dates.
Since forming in Gothenburg in 2013, Monolord have become one of doom’s most revered acts. Their music has earned praise from a wide range of publications including Bandcamp who described the band’s music as a “propulsive, tense balance between boogie and brutality,” Pitchfork noted the band’s ability to “render supernatural dread and cosmic nothingness into cavernous, hypnotic grooves,” and Decibel celebrated their “heavy-as-mountains” sound.
Monolord have released four critically acclaimed albums: Empress Rising (2014), Vænir (2015), Rust (2017), and Your Time to Shine (2021). Their sound combines monolithic heaviness, psychedelic expansiveness, and meticulous production.
