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 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. They believe not only in the power of the music they’re making, but their bandmates’ ability to make it with them.

Earth Tongue

Sometimes music is supposed to feel weird and indescribable. It’s the moments of clarity within the dense, sonic mess that often feels the most satisfying. That’s the space that Earth Tongue occupy. At times, their songs are shrill and disorientating, other times their reverb-washed textures and instantly- familiar hooks can wrap you in a warm, loving embrace. The one consistent thread through their music, however, is the thick and all encompassing fuzz. They’ve been sending punters into transcendental states since they began gigging in their home town of Wellington, New Zealand in 2016
