If you follow this playlist at all you know I love heavy music and there is plenty of it on the list. Well here's another track from one of my favorite stoner metal/doom records of the last few years. Monolord has been cranking out the sludge for the last seven years and I really dig what they do.
"We Will Burn" is the second track off Monolord's 2015 album Vænir, an album that has become a favorite in the last few weeks. All these songs are stellar and the production is exactly what it should be for a record like this. There is a lot going on right under the surface which adds to the texture, rawness, and heaviness. What stands out about this one is the riff and groove that closes out the last two minutes, just plodding and pulsing in stoner glory. When I talk to someone about heavy, this is what I'm talking about.
