Monolord
Monolordare a Swedish doom/stoner power-trio known for their massive, earth-shaking riffs, hypnotic grooves, and emotionally heavy atmospheres. Formed inGothenburg in 2013, the band—guitarist/vocalist Thomas Jäger, drummer EsbenWillems, and bassist Mika Häkki—quickly rose to the forefront of modern doomwith a run of globally praised albums and relentless touring across Europe, NorthAmerica, South America, and major festivals like Hellfest, Desertfest, Psycho LasVegas, and Roadburn. Their records, includingEmpress Rising,Vænir,Rust,andNo Comfort, cemented their reputation for blending crushing fuzz withmelodic undercurrents and immersive repetition. Now one of heavy music’s mostconsistent and beloved bands, Monolord are gearing up for their next chapterwitha new album arriving in2026—produced by legendary engineer Sylvia Massy andreleased via Relapse Records.
Khemmis
After eleven years of releasing albums and touring the world, Colorado’s Khemmis have
become a pillar of the modern metal scene.
“When we started this band, we had no expectations, no assumptions—we just wanted
to play heavy metal,” says guitarist/vocalist Ben Hutcherson.
Some artists strive for a legacy; Khemmis felt born with one. Upon releasing their 2015
debut Absolution, the Denver-based four-piece felt like old souls whose towering, spiritual doom
metal connected with metalheads the world over. This was further cemented by 2016’s Hunted,
which won the band international acclaim and was declared Album Of The Year by Decibel.
2018’s rollicking Desolation, 2020’s devotional Doomed Heavy Metal MLP (featuring a fan-
favorite cover of Dio’s “Rainbow In the Dark”) and 2021’s searing Deceiver only reinforced the
band’s monolithic sound and diehard following.
It makes sense, then, that the Khemmis behind Khemmis–—Hutcherson, fellow
vocalist/guitarist Phil Pendergast, drummer Zach Coleman, and newly-appointed bassist David
Small—is different in many ways. While the band has often felt synonymous with the Denver
metal scene, Pendergast and Coleman have since moved away to Washington and North
Carolina respectively.
And yet, Khemmis today feel more like the band they’ve always wanted to be than ever
before. They believe not only in the power of the music they’re making, but their bandmates’
ability to make it with them.
