Doomherre — Electronic Press Kit

About the band

Biography

Doomherre was forged in Stockholm by three seasoned musicians with a shared obsession — heavy, slow, and honest.

Founded by Daniel Strachal (drums, ex-Lobotomy / Blindfold / Brainwarp – ex Nihilist), Victor Takala (guitar & vocals, Eyekon / The Broke / former session member of Katatonia), and Max Collin (bass, Lobotomy / Blindfold / Votary), the band draws deep from the well of classic doom — Candlemass, Trouble, The Obsessed, Sleep, and Celtic Frost — while carving out a sound that is distinctly their own.

Armed with heavy riffs and a reverence for the genre's roots, Doomherre carries the torch of classic doom into new territory — rooted in tradition, but never standing still. From recording with friends to running their own label, Skatbo Records, every record is written, recorded and released entirely on their own terms.

Their 2025 album Plaguelords, released on Majestic Mountain Records, has garnered widespread acclaim — earning a 19/20 from Metal-Integral (France), an "Excellent" rating from Doomed for Metal, and an 8.5/10 from Powermetal.de (Germany).

"In Swedish, DOOMHERRE means LORD OF DOOM. Go immediately and listen to Plaguelords and, like me, you will be convinced that the name is absolutely deserved."

Metal-Integral — 19/20

"There isn't one bad song on the album — all killer, no filler indeed. An impressive doom album that showcases a band at the top of their game."

Doomed for Metal — Excellent

"Tracks like 'Stormfather', 'Hymn For Helios', or 'Dead Ship Bay' are surprisingly catchy and are likely to secure the Swedes a place in the long-term memory of their audience."

"Plaguelords never plays out that you initially expect — packed full of wonderful cinematic themes and incredible musical passages brilliantly delivered from start to finish."
