Monolord - Empress Rising (Official Music Video) | RidingEasy Records

Monolord - Empress Rising (music video) on RidingEasy Records
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Monolord Empress Rising, released in 2014, sets the stage for psychedelic doom rock. “Sweden’s psychedelic doom band, Monolord, is set to release their First full length LP “Empress Rising” via RidingEasy Records in April 2014. The five song album comes in at almost 50 minutes of skull crushing heavy grooves and heavy guitars that summon the spirits of Norse gods when played at loud volumes.
Monolord is for more than just doom-metal fanatics-this is an epic record for all fans of guitar driven rock and roll, stoner rock, and heavy riffs. “Empress Rising,” is a 12 minute long opus that will leave you wanting more, but you will have to wait until April 1 2014 for the rest of the record that will be making headlines for next year. Empress Rising has all of the flavors of an iconic doom record and follows in the footsteps of Sleep Holy Mountain, Pallbearer “Sorrow and Extinction”, Electric Wizard “Witchcult Today” with melodic vocals and harmonies that are super psychedelic and easy to sing along with.”

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.

[@SkyTortoiseFerryman]

Except it does change a little it to keep it fresh. Genius in nuance!

[@sergeyserzhant777]

В этом и есть суть Doom музыки )

[@BSIII]

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.

[@theherbpuffer]

+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

[@JohnnyWrong]

+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.

[@theherbpuffer]

+disgraceland uk those guitarists for windhand are great. loudest set iv heard i think

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

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.

[@danielcastillo4537]

Fallen film What is the name of your band by chance?

[@danielcastillo4537]

@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.

[@danielcastillo4537]

@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...

[@danielcastillo4537]

@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.

[@luanpaulo4156]

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
