Formed in Gothenburg in 2013, the band — guitarist/vocalist Thomas Jäger, drummer Esben Willems, and bassist Mika Häkki — quickly rose to the forefront of modern doomwith a run of globally praised albums and relentless touring across Europe, North America, South America, and major festivals like Hellfest, Desertfest, Psycho Las Vegas, and Roadburn. Their records, including Empress Rising, Vænir, Rust, and No Comfort, cemented their reputation for blending crushing fuzz with melodic undercurrents and immersive repetition. Now one of heavy music’s mostconsistent and beloved bands, Monolord are gearing up for their next chapter with a new album arriving in 2026 — produced by legendary engineer Sylvia Massy and released via Relapse Records.
