Album Description
Available in:
"Rust" is the third full length studio album from Doom metal band Monolord, released September 29th, 2017 on the RidingEasy Records label.
User Album Review
With their second full-length Rust, Sweden’s Monolord hoist their Sabbathian riff flag high, clear, and give it a prideful salute. The opening riff for “Where Death Meets The Sea” is monstrous, bleak, and powerful; much like the riff that opens Black Sabbath’s “Black Sabbath.” Just about every subsequent, spotlit riff on all six tracks of Rust is the same strain as the slow, skulking side of Sabbath’s discography. In moderation that’s fine, but for Rust it means that the record’s pace from end to end is the same. There’s no peaks or valleys, just hills and plains.
Monolord doesn’t pull everything from Sabbath on Rust. Tracks “Dear Lucifer” and “Wormland” have some soaring, heart wrenching melodies that are very tragic and Pallbearer inspired. It adds another facet to an album that sorely needs it, but unfortunately it’s not employed as much as it could’ve or should’ve been.
In the end, the riff driven doom of Monolord’s Rust is actually pretty great. Sometimes the wheel doesn’t need to be reinvented, it just needs a stylish new look, or a different tread to operate on a specific terrain. Besides, there’s nothing wrong with being a little derivative if the band you’re plucking jewels from is perfect like Black Sabbath.
