Stoner Metal
Monolord
Monolord
Stoner Metal
Formed in 2013, this band is made up of Swedish rockers Thomas Jäger, Esben Willems, and Mika Häkki. Both Jäger and Willems were in the Swedish boogie rock band Marulk and started Monolord as a side project as a way to play some more heavier tunes, they quickly added Häkki (from The Don Darlings, ex Rotten Sound) and realized that they had something very special between the 3 of them. Monolord became very real very quickly and recording commenced in early 2013. Thomas Jäger had not sung in a band before this one, but you would never know it by the sound of it. Having met RidingEasy Records head hauncho Daniel Hall over instagram in May of 2014 when the record was ready to listen to, RidingEasy was one of the first that it was sent to and picked up the band immediately after hearing the finished album Empress Rising that then was released worldwide on April 1. The second album, Vænir, will be released worldwide April 28th.

Hard Rock
Sweat Lodge
Sweat Lodge
Hard Rock
Sweat Lodge are aptly named, as the sound produced by this Austin TX, vibe tribe is best experienced in a dark, smoke filled room. Eschewing modern tendencies in heavy music to rely on brute force, the group combines epic, technical songwriting with enough neolithic heaviness to keep the cavemen happy. Beginning as a bass/drums/vox trio in summer 2010, the band developed a groove-laden sound that relied on Caleb Dawson’s heavy yet nuanced backbeat and the saturated tone of Austin “The Shock” Shockley's gnarled bass-fuzz, laying the foundation for singer Cody Lee's soaring vocals.

Doom Metal
Ironaut
Ironaut
Doom Metal
Ironaut has been spawned from the primordeal ooze brewed from the cauldron of riffs conjured by Pat McHugh (formerly of The Sixth Chamber), then transmuted through the sonic rhythmic alchemy of Erik Kluiber (formerly of Overloaded/White Wizzard/Gypsyhawk) and Ivan Najor (formerly of Level).Originally hailing from Chicago, Pat, along with native Detroiters Erik on bass and Ivan on drums, brings some ballsy Midwestern grit to the streets of Los Angeles.Disciples of Doom, Stoner, Sludge, Hard Psych, Proto and Classic Metal, Heavy Prog, old school Punk, Thrash, Groove, high octane Rock and Roll, amp worship, drug/counterculture, altered states, cosmic jokes, cold beer, whiskey, weed, and loose women. This is their religion, and the streets shall flow with the blood of the nonbelievers. Ironaut is on a mission to defy the confining boundaries of adhering to this or that sub genre, and pummel listeners with any and all conceivable means of heavy by balancing the raw and refined, fast and slow, old and new, visceral and cerebral, simple and complex.Prepare your lungs and livers to behold the impending substance abuse of IRONAUT!
