Swedish metal trio Monolord announced that they are hitting the road and setting their sights on the United States for the first time since 2022. The group announced their west coast tour which will kick off this summer, making 14 stops in 16 days. The tour will be split up across six states with the tour kicking off and wrapping up in California. In between those shows, Monolord will make stops in Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Utah and Nevada. They will hit some important 

The return tour to the United States comes in the wake of Monolord’s fifth studio album, yet to be named, which is set to release at the beginning of the summer right before the start of the tour. The last studio album from Monolord came in 2021, a project titled Your Time To Shine which received high critical praise. Following the album Monolord went on tour in the U.S. that year and will hope to make their return trip as successful as the first.

Tickets for the tour are already on sale and available online. Portland based alternative star Mizmor will join Monolord throughout the tour as a special guest. There may be some other groups or artists that pop up along the way but as of right now the only other confirmed guest will be the Metal band Chrome Ghost, who are set to make an appearance at the June 14th show at Harlow’s in Sacramento, California. Monolord’s return to the states is long overdue, and fans will have plenty to look out for this summer.
