Monolord - Vænir (2015)Release ID: 8960
A hefty dose of swedish "true" doom that is as understated as it is intense. The six tracks are driven by a super-solid rhythm section, on which the disembodied vocals and sometimes crushing, sometimes airy, guitar work of Thomas Jäger are hung. To sound so heavy, seemingly so effortlessly, is a real achievement, like watching a genuine artist painting a masterpiece and thinking "Fuck, I wish I could do that". Impressive.
