The Swedish psychedelic doom band makles its debut for Easy Rider Records! This five-song album, 'Empress Rising', offers 50-minutes of skull crushing grooves and heavy guitars that summon the spirits of Norse gods when played at loud volumes. Monolord's music is relevant for more than just doom-metal fanatics; this is an epic record for any fan of guitar driven rock and roll, stoner rock and heavy riffing. 'Empress Rising' has all of the flavours of an iconic doom record and follows in the footsteps of Sleep, Holy Mountain, Pallbearer's 'Sorrow and Extinction' and Electric Wizard's 'Witchcult Today' with melodic vocals and harmonies that are super psychedelic and easy to sing along to.
