Monolord music video for “Iodine” from ‘Neverending’

Swedish doom trio Monolord have released a new music video for “Iodine,” a track from their latest album, Neverending, which arrived earlier this year via Relapse Records.

The video captures one of the band’s first performances supporting Neverending, combining live footage with behind-the-scenes moments from their hometown show in Gothenburg, Sweden.

According to vocalist/guitarist Thomas Jäger, “Iodine” was influenced by classic ‘70s rock epics, including Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Free Bird,” The Eagles’ “Hotel California,” and Led Zeppelin’s “No Quarter.” He also noted that the song’s opening riff was inspired by YOB guitarist Mike Scheidt’s unique playing style.

Neverending was recorded in Ashland, Oregon with producer Sylvia Massy, known for her work with Tool, System of a Down, and Johnny Cash. The collaboration helped Monolord expand their sound while maintaining the heavy riffs and atmosphere that have defined the band.

Monolord will return to the U.S. this August for a run of headline dates with Khemmis providing support on all U.S. headlining shows.
