Swedish doom crushers Monolord have dropped a new single titled “Oozing Wound”, the latest offering from their upcoming sixth studio album ‘Neverending’, due out May 29th.
The track follows previously released cut “You Bastard”, as the band continue rolling out material from the record, which was tracked last fall with producer Sylvia Massy (Tool, System Of A Down).
Frontman/guitarist Thomas Jäger broke down the new single, noting both its experimental structure and lyrical theme:
“It’s the first song we’ve done in a drop tuning. We usually play in B, but ‘Oozing Wound,’ ‘You Bastard,’ and ‘It’s Neverending’ are all drop A.”
“Except for one part, ‘Oozing Wound’ is almost the same riff all the way through. It’s repetitive, but we do different stuff with it… remove the guitar and have just bass and drums in parts and then remove rhythm guitar when I play the solo melody.”
On the lyrical side, Jäger explained the song deals with toxic emotional cycles and feeling trapped in harmful dynamics.
“The lyrics are about being stuck on a bad road, feeling trapped with someone who takes advantage of you.”
Alongside the new music, Monolord have a stacked touring schedule lined up across North America and Europe, including co-headlining runs with Mizmor and Khemmis, plus major festival appearances.
