Salems Pot
Salem’s Pot is extremely heavy doom metal, with an occult atmosphere.Sweden
Monolord
Sweden
Psychedelic Doom 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 EasyRider Records head hauncho Daniel Hall over instagram in May of 2013 when the record was ready to listen to, EasyRider was one of the first that it was sent to and picked up the band immediately after hearing the finished album that will come out worldwide on April 1st 2014, this first offering is of pure hellfire of unrestrained heavy doom that has the ability to shatter windows and put people into an induced coma. The album titled, Empress Rising, has all of the flavors of an iconic doom record and follows in the footsteps of Sleep Holy Mountain, Pallbearer “Sorrow and Extinction”, Electric Wizard “Witchcult Today” with melodic vocals and harmonies that are super psychedelic and easy to sing along with.

Sons Of Huns
In a city like Portland, Oregon, where there are quite literally hundreds of people
playing heavy music – and playing it well, at that – it takes a bold, tightly-honed
punch to the crowd’s ears in order to stand out. Formed in the winter of 2009 and
armed with a full stack of Orange cabs, a lifetime of experience and enough classical
training to out-riff any band that dares stand in their SG-wielding path, Sons of Huns
have consistently blown crowds away. Peter Hughes (guitar), Shoki Tanabe (bass)
and Ryan Northrop (drums) have headlined shows in anywhere from tiny bars to
the main stages of Portland’s biggest music festivals, and had the honor of opening
for the likes of Red Fang, Andrew W.K., Danava and even the world’s most metal
comedian, Brian Posehn.

A pick of my 3 Riding Easy Records favorites.
