Monolord Release Single And Title Track 'Rust' From New Album Out September 29th Gothenburg, Sweden trio Monolord share the title track and details on their highly anticipated third album Rust. The song features John Gamino (Mondo Drag) on keyboards and Trevor Church (Beastmaker) playing a guitar solo at the end of the tune.  Hear and share “Rust” via YouTube and Bandcamp. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YX4HwEAF_Eo https://monolord.bandcamp.com Monolord is a rare breed: A band both encompassing and transcending genre; a vortex of heavy rock density that consumes all others. Their thunderous, tuneful heft has built a rabid international fanbase in short order since their 2014 debut. But Rust, the band’s third full length, truly exemplifies why some refer to them as the Nirvana of doom. Monolord’s enveloping, syrupy sludge is a vibe, it’s a state of mind. Not riffs for riffs sake, but a collective buzzing, rattling and rumbling that’s more total environment than coll...

Liv Kristine) ORDEN OGAN release lyric video for their third single 'Come With Me To The Other Side' (featuring Liv Kristine), taken from new album 'Gunmen' out 7th July. See the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqGfr_stmxg&feature=youtu.be Quote from Seeb Levermann: "When whe had just finished the intro for 'Come With Me To The Other Side', we immediately felt that it needed a fragile, angelic, female voice to bring it to full bloom and capture the song’s atmosphere in a perfect way. Of course Liv was our first choice and were happy that she confirmed right away.

Barrow explains the meaning behind ...

Its highlights include, zombies, a plane crash and asteriods...but I won't spoil all the fun!
