Exclusive Track Premieres: Monolord’s “Lord of Suffering” and “Die in Haze”
Swedish sludge/doom act Monolord released an absolute beast of a doom/sludge record last year with Vaenir and followed that with a North American tour opening for Windhand. Now they’ll be coming back on a tour of their very own this summer, which MetalSucks is beyond stoked to present!
And what better way to celebrate Monolord’s impending arrival on these shores than with the premiere of the band’s new 10″, Lord of Suffering? Featuring the title track and the total ripper “Die in Haze,” Lord of Suffering ably demonstrates that Monolord may very well be the true heirs to Black Sabbath’s soon-to-be-empty throne.
Listen to Lord of Suffering below! The 10″ comes out August 12 on Riding Easy Records, and can be pre-ordered in a variety of editions here. Monolord’s headlining North American tour, which will also feature Beastmaker and Sweat Lodge, kicks off August 5. Dates are at the bottom of this post!
