GhostCultKeefy caught up with Gothenburg, Sweden’s Sludge/Doom leaders Monolord for a new interview. The band just released their excellent new album Neverending via Relapse Records. Over their thirteen years as a band, they have continued to raise the bar and challenge themselves, and Neverending is no different. The band worked with legend Sylvia Massy, known for her work with Tool, System of a Down, and Johnny Cash, which pushed them into new, yet still heavy territory. Thomas Jäger talked about the process, the more personal bent of the album’s lyrics, and working with Swedish Death Metal legend and former Entombed bassist Jörgen Sandström (also of Grave, Domedagen, and Firespawn).
