Stream Dopelord’s new single “Night of the Witch” at this location.
Having paved the way for Polish doom metal for over a decade by sticking to their strictly DIY ethos and hard work, mighty foursome Dopelord is about to open a new chapter of its history by joining the coveted ranks of US label Blues Funeral Recordings (Acid King, Dozer, Lowrider, Dead Meadow).
Their fifth full-length Songs for Satan is a moment of critical mass for Dopelord. A blast of devil worship in the riffing realms is nothing new, and while they aren’t the first band to openly embrace the motif, their amplified heresy is uniquely triumphant, their fuzz-drenched apostasy genuine and glorious.
Calling to mind Electric Wizard, Windhand, Belzebong and Acid King, Songs for Satan will be available on October 06th in various vinyl editions, limited digipack CD and digital. The ultra-limited deluxe vinyl edition will be shipped a few weeks prior to PostWax subscribers.
Songs for Satan tracklisting:
1 Intro

More about Dopelord:
Rock and roll’s history with Satan goes back to before there even was rock and roll. A blast of devil-worship in the riffing realms is nothing new, and Warsaw, Poland’s Dopelord aren’t the first band to openly embrace the motif. Even so, their amplified heresy is uniquely triumphant, their fuzz-drenched apostasy genuine and glorious. The band coalesced in late 2010 in the city of Lublin, Poland, where three of the soon-to-be-band’s members attended university.
Dopelord released their debut Magick Rites in 2012, a record that flaunted their love of vintage heavy rock and proto-metal. 2014’s Black Arts, Riff Worship & Weed Cult was a leap forward in songcraft, and as the band got serious, they began touring abroad in Western Europe, the members also completing a relocation to Polish capital city Warsaw. Critically-acclaimed 2017 album Children of the Haze found their formula for drawn-out psych-sludge behemoths perfected.
As if heralding the actual end times, fourth LP Sign of the Devil arrived on March 10, 2020, just as the covid-19 pandemic took terrifying hold of the planet and called the knowable future of humanity into question. Supremely confident in their infectious bludgeon and thematic overtness, Dopelord presented a record that stepped more fully than ever into both melody and rebellious iconoclasm.
Derailed from their aggressive live schedule for two years, Dopelord blasted out the Reality Dagger EP in 2021 before setting to work on their boldest statement yet. On October 6th, 2023, their fifth album Songs for Satan will induct the mighty foursome as one of Europe’s heaviest and most faithful doom purveyors of the new era, crushing everything on their path under the Blues Funeral Recordings banner.
