Our Take
Our Take
Monolord may sound like a pretentious Scandinavian superhero, but they're actually a trio of heavy doom metallers from Sweden. Their latest offering, Vaenir, is a sonic assault on the senses, promising to crush your skull with its sludgy riffs and thunderous drums.
From the moment the opening track "Cursing the One" kicks in, you know you're in for a wild ride. The guitars are as thick as a Swedish winter, the bass is as heavy as a Viking warship, and the vocals are as brooding as a gloomy fjord. It's like being trapped in a feedback loop of despair, but in a strangely enjoyable way.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "Nuclear Death," which combines bone-crushing riffs with hypnotic melodies to create a truly epic sound. It's the kind of song that makes you want to throw up the horns and headbang until your neck snaps.
But it's not all doom and gloom on Vaenir. Tracks like "The Cosmic Silence" and "Died a Million Times" showcase Monolord's ability to craft atmospheric, psychedelic soundscapes that hint at a more introspective side to the band.
Overall, Vaenir is a beast of an album that will appeal to fans of Sleep, Electric Wizard, and all things heavy and sludgy. So grab your earplugs, crank up the volume, and prepare to have your eardrums obliterated by Monolord's sonic onslaught.
