Monolord is a Swedish doom metal band from Göteborg, founded in 2013. Since their beginnings, their three-man line-up has been unchanged; guitarist-vocalist Thomas V Jäger, drummer Esben Willems, and bassist Mika Häkki. Monolord would gain a significant following in quick order following the critically praised Empress Rising (2014) and Vænir (2015), displaying a distinctive mark on the doom genre with their blend of heavy, droning riffs and ghostlike vocals.

Monolord would establish themselves as a major name in the doom genre in the 2010s, further solidifying that title with following albums in Rust (2017) and No Comfort (2019), touring all over the world and performing amid many marquee bands and festivals. To date the band has released four studio albums and one extended play amid a host of singles.

The band also notably has a motto of their own in "No Espresso, No Show".^[1]
