Swedish metal heads Monolord will be touring the United States and Europe in the coming weeks to help promote their new album “Neverending” which they recorded in Oregon.

The first single “Iodine” is said to be inspired by 70’s rock epics like “Free Bird”, “Hotel California”, and “No Quarter”.

Speaking on the single Thomas Jäger said, “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.”

Khemmis will be the opening act for all of the U.S. dates.
