Celebrating 15 years of monolithic riffs and occult-laden doom, Polish stoner doom titans Dopelord are set to embark on their XV Anniversary Tour across Europe this November and December.
Formed in Lublin in 2010, Dopelord has carved a niche in the doom metal scene with their heavy, psychedelic sound and themes steeped in occultism and dark fantasy. Their latest release, “Songs for Satan” (2023), has been hailed as “first-class stoner doom” by The Sleeping Shaman, accurately reflecting the time they’ve spent honing their craft to perfection—15 years in the making.
Renowned for conjuring an atmosphere as thick as smoke and as weighty as the most satanic ritual imaginable, Dopelord‘s live performances are immersive ceremonies of crushing tone and hypnotic rhythm. Whether in sweat-soaked clubs or on the altar of Europe’s mightiest doom festivals, the band summons an unrelenting wall of sound that vibrates through flesh and bone—a primal, enveloping experience that leaves fans spellbound and devout.
