Swedish doom metallers Monolord have newly streaming the below Victor Crusner directed music video for their track “Iodine“. That track drew inspiration from 70s classic rock hits by the likes of Lynyrd Skynyrd (“Freebird“), The Eagles (“Hotel California“) and Led Zeppelin (“No Quarter“), with guitarist/vocalist Thomas Jäger stating:
“Even though it’s maybe not musically similar, I think the vibe is similar. And the opening riff is my tribute to YOB, because I’ve always really liked Mike [Scheidt]’s guitar playing. He does all these weird chords where his fingers are all over the fretboard at the same time. It’s for sure my favorite song on the album.”
This song is taken from Monolord‘s latest release “Neverending“. That record arrived in late May of this year, and the band have the following touring booked in support of it for the coming months:
