Monolord announce Relapse debut 'No Comfort,' share "The Bastard Son"

July 23, 2019

Swedish doom trio Monolord have been talking about their anticipated Relapse debut for a while, and they even announced a lengthy fall tour, and now they finally revealed details on the album and released its first single. It’s called No Comfort and due September 20 via their new label home. The first single is “The Bastard Son,” which is nine and a half minutes of trad-doom in the same Sabbathian tradition as Monolord’s earlier work. If you dig classic doom, or newer bands like Pallbearer, this is worth a spin. Check it out below.

As mentioned, Monolord’s upcoming tour includes a US run with Portland, OR goth/psych band Blackwater Holylight and a Europe/UK run with fellow Swedish doom band Firebreather.

The US run hits Brooklyn’s Saint Vitus on November 17 (tickets). All dates are listed below.
