@ihateoregonians hahaha yes. Also not all Oregonians are lames man. Just Portlanders. I rep my state. Gypsy Joker hangaround. Suspect your local Joker.
I started to knead my bread to this song and it comes out perfect every time. Perfect groove and time length for beautiful smooth dough. 10/10 will knead again.
I thought I would get tired of listening to the same riff over and over for 13 minutes. I guess not. Once you get locked into its groove, it's kind of hypnotizing, meditative, and relaxing.
This song has what a lot of modern rock is lacking... is human 'error'. I should clarify, this is definitely not quantized. It feels more natural and organic. Today's recording practices often include mapping each track to a constant tempo, perfectly. Making it a bit more sanitized and processed.
Can we just take a moment for the led zepplin amp cover, the blue oyster cult shirt and the Darth Vader bobble head. All that's missing is a black Sabbath poster. Awesome band
A customer at the sub sandwich shop I work at in Kansas City had a shirt of theirs on. We talked about metal for a while and now I see why they were so hype. Monolord f'ing rules!
Lyrics: Wisp of smoke, lifeless tomb Ritual has yet begun Awakes from haunted sleep Eons burned the abyssinian sun Empress rising rumors toll Spirit weed invigorates bones Whispered voice through halls of gloom Where none that lives can walk alone Severed hand, dust and stone Blinded eyes have seen to eternity Skull of wicked crone Mind is bludgeoned to insanity Nocturnal infant's gaze Circles twine to what will come Sacrificial dreams Waking curse of the nameless one Empress rising
this lyric reminds me of that demon from diablo 2 to andiel as in the game she made the underground her dwelling and her place to cast her spells and corrupt the outside world but in the case of music he speaks in a way as if he were invoking this evil thing shaped like a woman
My Texas band opened up for these guys in San Antonio in fall of 2016 and they changed everything for me. They sound as loud and heavy Live as the album and deliver on every level. Great bunch of dudes with an incredible sound! Can't wait to see what's next.
@Ruptured Heart Theory Oh My I H8 Gawd! CLUTCH my pearls won't you! I feel like Austin had or has a litany of other bands that didnt follow a formula like Dixie Witch or Mala Suerte! SL follows a tried and true formula I've seen all too often! BTW I've actually seen Kyuss live so I know the genuine article! I never said Kyuss were stoner rock even though they don't like the desert rock moniker either! I was using a generic point of reference. If you like SL fine but if I don't like them does that make me wrong? Peace bruh...
@Ruptured Heart Theory Not at all. Actually RHT is my favorite song from them! And in all honesty I prefer the Louisana Heavy Boogie to Kyuss and the like. Suplecs is an awesome NOLA band, if you haven't heard them checkout their 1st two albums.
their performance in the Valley of Freaks 2019 is simply killer!! how much raw energy and somber atmosphere in a performance the people who were watching were completely brainwashing! that afternoon turned into an unholy aura
+theherbpuffer Fair enough. Male-fronted Doom bands are just a dime a dozen, I guess. Monolord are good and all, but nothing that stands out, for me Dorthia's vocals not only help Windhand stand out from the crowd but her songwriting chops are well above average. Each to their own, though.
I agree. I thought Electric Wizard was the heaviest band ever until I heard these guys. Musically weird, production is just fantastic, and overall loud.
@@cicikush0669 haha...thanks. I was just kidding around but good to know there's nice people out there. I make comments sometimes while on Ambien so it can get weird.
Thomas Jäger (Guitarist/Vocalist) also sometimes rocks a six-string that's missing the pickup that's closest to the fret-board; and it has a LEGO Yoda Minifig in the empty hole.
How TF am I only now hearing this?! Better late than never I guess. Always a good thing when one finds fresh weight to add to the pallet. #newfan #longlivetheriff
Holy Fuzz! Monolord! Crushing riffs, monolithic atmospheres and psyched-out musicianship throughout the whole album. For fans of Sleep, Electric Wizard and the likes.
Like sharing a bowl with a Hasheeshian demon on a carpet flying through the cosmos towards the Riff heavens . If you write a Riff this ridiculously brilliant why the fuck bother writing another ? HAIL MONOLORD .
Love the mix. Just as bassy as dubstep, but way more soulful and kickass. Doesn't sound quantized, which feels natural. And monstrous riffing and tone.
The vocals struck me as something Sleep would do too (IIRC Dragonaut has some phased vocals). But the entire production feels original rather than derivative.
the riff sticks in your ear, the sound is heavy and dirty, the video is like a mystery pov rock n roll shot and the whole thing is just brilliant...all in all one of my all time favourite songs!
Holy shit so glad I found this! It came on autoplay at my flatmates 21st in the weekend whilst the drugs and alcohol were in full affect haha That riff was sounding huge as hell!!!!!!
just amazing,i've been listenng since the first album came out,their sound is just amazing & the fact they record mix & master it themselves is even more impressive,one of the best guitar tones i've heard in a long time,what is it with these swedish bands,there must be something in the water,they're always coming up with something that makes you think,how the hell did they do it ? just brilliant.
An old man stands on a wind and rain lashed dock, looking out into the stormy sea. The smart people had already done what the tv told em to and evacuated. The man didn’t run. He knew it wouldn’t matter. Out in the ocean raged the worst storm he’d ever seen. A wall of grey and black thundered offshore, about 50 miles out now. The old man had always thought his father had gone mad. His words came back to him now “Remember my son, the empress sleeps in her hall at the bottom of the sea, giver of life and the destroyer, the Empress"
an easy thoughtful drum line but played with such a dark feeling so heavy it drives the music along with the guitar in such a swampy way so sticky that's what makes doom metal so mesmerizing
Seen them in 2018 opening for black label society, back then I'had never tried weed and their music seemed strange to me, too trippy. Now while listening to them I fking touch the sky
that guitar and bass tone needs to be locked away for the safety of mankind ! Otherwise it could create earthquakes and tsunamis wiping us out when playe too loud and often !
Heard this song for the first time over the loudspeakers at a bar in Denver this weekend (Ratio Beerworks). #1 my new favorite bar. #2 friends I was with were like wtf you like this? Fuck yes you lizards. #3 thank you monolord plz continue to skull drill us.

Found this when I was researching doom metal. I am 70. I'm pretty much left alone to my music. Bring it!!!!!
💎
You're never too old for cool stuff. :)
👍🏻
I need a good set of headphones wanna rattle my brain, any suggestions for a metal head/bass head?
@@satanspitbull_5860 I use Audiotechnika ATH-M50x at home and some random Xiaomi TWS on-the-go.
Sometimes a riff is just so fuckin good you wanna hear it over and over again. Sometimes for 13 minutes ya know?
SLEEP be like > 13 minutes you say? Hold my bong and watch this.
Reference from the documentary Such Hawk Such Hounds
Bongripper - Her Highness
Stoned Jesus - Black Woods
It is a great riff though!
I don't always listen to Monolord, but when I do, so do the neighbors.
Eww Ohio
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤟
@@wosop6667 is Ohio disgusting place?
Yeahhhh, me too.
Yeah I've got 1 more strike then I'm " OUT !!! " my landlord says... HAW !!!
that guitar tone could bring down a government.
That would be nice
they need to play outside the white house
@ihateoregonians they can make a tour out of it
@ihateoregonians hahaha yes. Also not all Oregonians are lames man. Just Portlanders. I rep my state. Gypsy Joker hangaround. Suspect your local Joker.
Anti Semitic.
I started to knead my bread to this song and it comes out perfect every time. Perfect groove and time length for beautiful smooth dough. 10/10 will knead again.
Highly underrated comment lol
made me giggle uncontrollably
😂
There are some pretty great comments on here, but this is the best one.
Really does that work better than just balling it up in a knot real quick and rolling it out into tortillas
I don't understand how this could exist for 9 years and I just heard it for the first time?
It's never too late...
Me too
I thought I would get tired of listening to the same riff over and over for 13 minutes. I guess not. Once you get locked into its groove, it's kind of hypnotizing, meditative, and relaxing.
Except it does change a little it to keep it fresh. Genius in nuance!
В этом и есть суть Doom музыки )

yeah..I'm gonna go ahead and name my firstborn son Monolord
I like ya
Douglas Monolord Cartwiright III
Mongoloid
lmfao
Not a bad name for a second born either, lol.
Can we just take a moment for the led zepplin amp cover, the blue oyster cult shirt and the Darth Vader bobble head. All that's missing is a black Sabbath poster. Awesome band
and a Dungeon Masters guide...
Maybe a bong rip or two.
@@eagleone5456 two
How can you ever get tired of this song?
You can't. Ever.
you cant....
Doomiest, sludgiest thing I've heard in quite some time. Gave me goosebumps.
Bloody_9ine no that's passion
TheOneofakind86 It's as sahame you can't teach that
Go check out the album Estron by Slomatics.
@@digi7al3891 nice choice 😈 just bought on discogs
you've never listened to meth drinker
I'm pretty sure this song is required to open the gates to Mordor
When i saw them, they opened for Black Label Society.
they will open today for KADAVAR
@@fredobulsara295 A shout out to BLS
"The hobbit was dear to thee I see"
I’m from Mordor. It’s a jingle for morning news here.
A customer at the sub sandwich shop I work at in Kansas City had a shirt of theirs on. We talked about metal for a while and now I see why they were so hype. Monolord f'ing rules!
Been listening to these guys a while never gets old once in a while. Pack a bowl!! 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺
Finally! Somebody understands the Black Sabbath heaviness!
Second best bass tone I’ve ever heard. Only behind the mighty Electric Wizard! Fucking heavy badass shit!
Oh know, right? This bangs like Funeralopolis
this riff tears worlds
This goes so well with the lsd im on right now. I love everyone.
it's like syrup oozing through my speakers!
or hash oil
More like the cones are rumbling so hard the sirup is pressure-washing your face! :-D
Lyrics:
Wisp of smoke, lifeless tomb
Ritual has yet begun
Awakes from haunted sleep
Eons burned the abyssinian sun
Empress rising rumors toll
Spirit weed invigorates bones
Whispered voice through halls of gloom
Where none that lives can walk alone
Severed hand, dust and stone
Blinded eyes have seen to eternity
Skull of wicked crone
Mind is bludgeoned to insanity
Nocturnal infant's gaze
Circles twine to what will come
Sacrificial dreams
Waking curse of the nameless one
Empress rising
YOU COME FROM AN EVIL PLACE
Brutal
this lyric reminds me of that demon from diablo 2 to andiel as in the game she made the underground her dwelling and her place to cast her spells and corrupt the outside world but in the case of music he speaks in a way as if he were invoking this evil thing shaped like a woman
Cult too the quick
Almost a lullaby
Been listening to this for 10 years. Still don't know the lyrics. 💪
just saw them live a few hours ago. the tone is even better live. its ridiculous
Guitar, bass, drums...it's all you need...
Lord all mighty that bass is on my head permanently
I’ve been searching for something so fucking heavy it would make even my cold dead heart could feel something. God dammit this fit the bill.
Same here. Seeking inspiration from a long road of life. I dig it.
My Texas band opened up for these guys in San Antonio in fall of 2016 and they changed everything for me. They sound as loud and heavy Live as the album and deliver on every level. Great bunch of dudes with an incredible sound! Can't wait to see what's next.
Fallen film What is the name of your band by chance?
@Dale Griffim I just looked up the lineup it was Sweatlodge. I've seen them before. They're a Kyuss rip-off, stoner rock by the numbers band.
@Ruptured Heart Theory Oh My I H8 Gawd! CLUTCH my pearls won't you! I feel like Austin had or has a litany of other bands that didnt follow a formula like Dixie Witch or Mala Suerte!

Fuck. Yes. This is the kind of Doom ive been looking for for so long now
+Ben Afallouss Check out Windhand if you haven't already.
+disgraceland uk just saw monolord and windhand live tonight. im just not a big fan of female metal singers.. monolord and danava were great though
+theherbpuffer Fair enough. Male-fronted Doom bands are just a dime a dozen, I guess. Monolord are good and all, but nothing that stands out, for me Dorthia's vocals not only help Windhand stand out from the crowd but her songwriting chops are well above average. Each to their own, though.
+disgraceland uk those guitarists for windhand are great. loudest set iv heard i think
+theherbpuffer That honour goes to Ufomammut for me, I think. Saw them a couple of weeks ago, ears still ringing. ;)
These guys are legit... been awhile since I heard / felt this.... reminds me of the first time I heard Ufomammut, Pelican, Electric Wizard. good shit.
I agree. I thought Electric Wizard was the heaviest band ever until I heard these guys. Musically weird, production is just fantastic, and overall loud.
ufomammut is my fav band maybe, so good.
Can't wait to see these guys tomorrow at a small venue 🤘🏻
Andrew, there's a great band called Black Sabbath..should check 'em out!
@@davidames1746 Black Sabbath were pioneers of this metal sub-genre being played in the video...
I highly recommend listening to this with a substantial sound system.
It's. just. epic.
Aeyyyuhhh… those noises are so cr any.. greetings from HELLTOWN!!!
the song that makes weed smoke pour out your stereo speakers
Desertfest Berlin 2023. What an amazing show. I can hear you so well.
Just heard this song in one of Way of the World's videos - love it!
@Nilly Sigger same
That's why I'm here, too!
Ha ha, left his vid and came straight here instead. Heavy as fuck much like Orange Goblin the Big Black.
Same here....what a track. Reminds me of Sleep
Same here... for you guitarists like me, at the end, it shows he was using the Boss Hyper-Fuzz pedal.
Glory to the empress, may she live forever!
Love when that bass comes in. Just rumbling awesomeness!
Where most songs end, this one is just getting started
Holy crap...that riff is chunky, dirty, and sludgy like my ex-girlfriend.
how dare you leave her
@@cicikush0669 She left me. *Sigh
@@dale8809 sry to hear, dude :( there are lots of other slick riffs out there keep your ears open :D
@@cicikush0669 haha...thanks. I was just kidding around but good to know there's nice people out there. I make comments sometimes while on Ambien so it can get weird.
and heavy as fuck
I love Thomas's Blue Oyster Cult Shirt!!
Stunningly crushing rhythmic hypnotic riffs....haunting vocals....crashing drumbeats....fabulous....!!!
Also can we talk about the little Darth Vader Bobble Head behind the bassist.
HyperZ's CNC & Gaming no we can't
why, yes. yes, we can!
trick question. Mika Hakki IS Dart Vader.
Thomas Jäger (Guitarist/Vocalist) also sometimes rocks a six-string that's missing the pickup that's closest to the fret-board; and it has a LEGO Yoda Minifig in the empty hole.
He controls them
How TF am I only now hearing this?! Better late than never I guess. Always a good thing when one finds fresh weight to add to the pallet. #newfan #longlivetheriff
Cisneros-esque bone-crushing, thundering bass. Its gargantuan, heavy and swampy, the vocals are great, these guys are amazing!
Holy Fuzz! Monolord! Crushing riffs, monolithic atmospheres and psyched-out musicianship throughout the whole album. For fans of Sleep, Electric Wizard and the likes.
The walls of my house are shaking because i'm listening this through my old PEAVEY Bass Amp ...lol.
Turn it to MAXIMUM Volume! Lol thoughts make miss my 2K Peavey Power Amp, oh well...
Hahaha nice. I wanna hook up my greenback cabinet into my computer to blast doom metal and death metal lol
Like sharing a bowl with a Hasheeshian demon on a carpet flying through the cosmos towards the Riff heavens . If you write a Riff this ridiculously brilliant why the fuck bother writing another ? HAIL MONOLORD .
This one was dope af. respect from your neighbour, Finland. love ya'll!!!
Love the sound, especially the bass. The mix is clear, yet heavy as can be. O))))SO))))M!!
I think this might be my new favorite song.
I show you guys to my metalhead friends when they think they know what heavy music is.
If you think fuzz pedals and bass that drowns out everything else is heavy then I'm sure they know heavy better than you.
@Ruptured Heart Theory 😂😂
Tbh all this metal music sounds legit to me... except power metal... you can keep that
You guys are hilarious. I'm gonna go and get my bong
Nazgul Linux all hail the bass
Dank as PHUC!!
I'm slow headbanging.
fuzzy, heavy, droney, meaty, TASTY!
Recently Saw Monolord at the Grog shop with Frayle and Firebreather, Absolutely blown away!
Love the mix. Just as bassy as dubstep, but way more soulful and kickass. Doesn't sound quantized, which feels natural. And monstrous riffing and tone.
Can tell Kyuss and Sleep are big influences here
The video is clearly an hommage to Sleep's Dragonaut
jexnjexn and the riff sounds like state of non return by om
This band is clearly an hommage to Sleep
The vocals struck me as something Sleep would do too (IIRC Dragonaut has some phased vocals). But the entire production feels original rather than derivative.
+LordApocalyptica As soon as the vocals started, I thought "Sleep"
Yep nothing new but very well done
So so sssooooo ....sick .luv it .....
Wotw brought me here, great sound my friends 😂🇦🇺👍
the riff sticks in your ear, the sound is heavy and dirty, the video is like a mystery pov rock n roll shot and the whole thing is just brilliant...all in all one of my all time favourite songs!
holy SHIT. the best fuzz-tastic riffs to grace my eardrums in awhile :o
Dale Griffim yeah.. 'cause all women who likes it probably seems men
After seeing Khemmis live three times this year, I felt driven like livestock back to Doom. This is good stuff, too.
The riff is fucking incredible
holly shit years without a good headbanging, thanks!
Holy shit so glad I found this!
It came on autoplay at my flatmates 21st in the weekend whilst the drugs and alcohol were in full affect haha
That riff was sounding huge as hell!!!!!!
This burns slow but it burns white hot...so freaking dreadful ❤️🔥
Def buying an album. Reminds me so much of Sleep and Om
Wish these guys would tour the US. Doom is alive and well here! Pull up!!
Hypnotizing!... Monolord has the essence of Black Sabbath. Very relaxing and feel good!
Oh and love the destortion 🖤
Every time I watch this, it never gets old🤘🤘
I first heard this on acid and now it makes me want some acid.
just amazing,i've been listenng since the first album came out,their sound is just amazing & the fact they record mix & master it themselves is even more impressive,one of the best guitar tones i've heard in a long time,what is it with these swedish bands,there must be something in the water,they're always coming up with something that makes you think,how the hell did they do it ? just brilliant.

This is a BAND i'd like to SEE.......POW!!
Bass sounds so insanely huge, came to the video to see what he was playing, and that Fender wasnt what i expected. Insanely sick tones
the drummer is tight; on timing, rhythm, misdirection, and drums
an easy thoughtful drum line but played with such a dark feeling so heavy it drives the music along with the guitar in such a swampy way so sticky that's what makes doom metal so mesmerizing
I can't stop listening to this..
It makes my brain happy
Seen them in 2018 opening for black label society, back then I'had never tried weed and their music seemed strange to me, too trippy. Now while listening to them I fking touch the sky
Best Doom Metal song ever! Can’t get tired of it after 5 years!
Back for another listen.....getting me inspired to write and record some more doom metal fuzz riffs.........
Monstrous. Simply monstrous
This song woken something in me out my fog ridden head. Amazing
Wait, what is the empress doing? i missed that part.
I'm not sure. I'll have to listen more closely. Over and over again.
going to see them at "up in smoke".. going to enjoy those super-chugging riffs soo damn hard
that guitar and bass tone needs to be locked away for the safety of mankind ! Otherwise it could create earthquakes and tsunamis wiping us out when playe too loud and often !
My neighbors may agree, but I can't hear them
Sooooo dooooope!!!!!!!
If you dig Monolord check out WINDHAND.
Screw Yob.
And Moon Misstress
Jeff Richards how can you not like yob???
Dunno...I gave them a shot and just don't dig what they have going on. I have a couple of friends who love them. I don't.
Jeff Richards understandable. I didn't really like them at first until I went back and listened to their early shit where they actually sing and stuff
229 people? Guessing they were hoping for an Emperor. Can't believe I've never heard this. Rocks...
Heard this song for the first time over the loudspeakers at a bar in Denver this weekend (Ratio Beerworks). #1 my new favorite bar. #2 friends I was with were like wtf you like this? Fuck yes you lizards. #3 thank you monolord plz continue to skull drill us.
a heavy sound like we love the voice and incredible guitar bass and drums are crazy more effects sound insane ! 🤘🔥🤘
after this so important comment is gone i will repost it as my memory goes:
"sometimes a riff is so good you want to hear it 10 minutes straight"
I was just looking for this. Where the hell did it go?
@@GeoffNelson i can see it again now lol
These here fellas, they got it!, & they dealin' it out in spades! Hail Thee Eternal HEAVY!!!
I've only just discovered these guys , I fuckn love there music
Can I just go to sleep forever with this song in my head?
A BOC-shirt! You have a good taste in music :D
This one is a juggernaut.
Why am I just hearing these guys now?! This may very well be the heaviest shit I have ever heard🤘
I'm here just thinking the same.
Hands down my new favorite band. It doesn't get heaver than this. Damn im trippin
