In 2013, Monolord first emerged from Gothenburg, Sweden behind an impenetrable wall of distortion and spell-binding vocals. The outside world took notice in a big way as the trio of Thomas V Jäger [vocals, guitars], Esben Willems [drums], and Mika Häkki [bass] garnered a flurry critical acclaim for their RidingEasy Records debut, Empress Rising, a year later. Decibel Magazine decreed them, “your new favorite band,” New Noise Magazine called the album, “fantastic,” and This Is Not A Scene announced, “the power they capture speaks for itself,” as they became mainstays on the top of Bandcamp’s Doom chart. “From day one, it’s always been our aim to build a massive wall of rumbling sound,” declares Thomas. “That’s our common goal. We’re the exact opposite of a band consisting of members with identical record collections. We come from three fairly different places, but we’re all drawn to dark, heavy, and gritty music. What we do in Monolord is the result of that creative conflict between us – that’s conflict in the word’s positive sense.”
Dans la mythologie inuit, Amarok désigne le dieu loup qui dévore les chasseurs imprudents.
Mais le terme en lui-même signifie à la fois “loup” et “esprit du loup”. Pour le groupe, cette association est possible parce que les différents membres de la meute finissent par ne former plus qu’un seul et même esprit. C’est ce “gigantesque esprit du loup” qui permet au groupe bigouden de délivrer un rock aux teintes mystiques et aux compositions musicales tantôt bruts et très rythmées, tantôt plus légères et mélodieuses. On peut y entendre les percussions tribales de Dorian, répercutées par la solide ligne de basse de Manu, où viennent trancher les envolées électriques et les rythmiques des guitares de Tony et Gurvan. La voix de Pierre-Etienne, alliée à celle de Gurvan aux choeurs, évoque, à travers des textes emprunts d’indépendance, les étranges réclamations des loups formulées à la Lune.
Initialement formé en 2012 par Dorian Marino, Manuel Jolivet et Gurvan Lardeux, le groupe s’étoffe avec l’arrivée du frère de ce dernier en 2015, Pierre-Etienne Cancé, et de Tony Riou en 2016.
