New album ‘Neverending’ coming May 29 via Relapse Records. European tourdates in October and November.

“I did the growling on the demo, but it took me forever to record” vocalist/guitarist Thomas Jäger explains. “It was more like to illustrate the idea. But Jörgen’s voice is so powerful, and his performance on the song is really great.” The finished track is a deathly-doom epic. “When we got the vocals finally in place, I remember I just burst into laughter” bassist Mika Häkki adds. “That was just my sincere reaction to how happy that end result made me. Jörgen must have opened some new portal of some kind with those screams!”

To create LP band decamped to Ashland, Oregon to record with legendary producer/engineer Sylvia Massy (Tool, System Of A Down, Johnny Cash). The collaboration began when Massy asked vocalist/guitarist Thomas Jäger to send everything the band had ever written. “She asked me to send her everything we had—not just songs written for the album, but every stray riff and idea” he says. “I even sent her stuff I’d written ten years ago. She listened to all of it and sent us a list of what she wanted to work on.” The band rehearsed 12 songs, recorded 11, and ultimately selected eight for ‘Neverending’. The result captures a focused but expansive version of Monolord’s sound. Few modern doom bands balance sheer weight and melody like this band.
