"All killer, no filler — there isn't one bad song on the album.
Doomherre's Plaguelords is an impressive doom album that showcases
a band that is at the top of their game." — Doomed for Metal
Plaguelords is the second full-length album by Stockholm doom metal trio Doomherre, released on November 25, 2025 via Majestic Mountain Records and Skatbo Records. Nine tracks of slow, heavy, and unrelenting classic doom metal — rooted in the tradition of Candlemass, Trouble, and The Obsessed, but built entirely on the band's own terms.
Recorded and produced by the band. Every riff earned, every track a statement. In Swedish, Doomherre means Lord of Doom — Plaguelords makes good on the name.
Total runtime: approx. 41 minutes · 4 singles released ahead of the album
"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."
"There isn't one bad song on the album — all killer, no filler indeed. Doomherre's Plaguelords is an impressive doom album that showcases a band that is at the top of their game."
"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."
"Fans of the mentioned bands (Black Sabbath, Candlemass) should prick up their ears at the name Doomherre. On Plaguelords, pure epic doom metal is played — with varied songwriting that promises much more to come from the Swedes."
"On Plaguelords, they play flawless Epic Doom Metal… with varied songwriting."
"This clarity in the delivery of the riffs is a strong asset for Doomherre's doom, as it creates a real sense of dynamics."
"Plaguelords is the calling card from your newest doom heroes. And it's a calling card you can feel in your bones."
"It is a record that confirms how, in terms of epic/doom sonorities, Sweden truly has few rivals."
"There are no bad songs on Plaguelords, so the whole record is certainly worth your time."
"Doomherre don't chase trends, don't worry about hooks that you can tack onto some playlist. The album is dark and slow. That's why it's impressive."
"Plaguelords never plays out that you initially expect — the album is packed full of wonderful cinematic themes and incredible musical passages that Victor, Max and Daniel brilliantly deliver from start to finish."
"So I recommend every fan of doom to check this out. That's how good this is."
"The nine songs of Plaguelords are a homage to the great names of the genre — Trouble, Candlemass, The Obsessed and Sleep — and at the same time a standalone work that transports the essence of doom into the present."
"'This Burning Guilt' is a closing track that would not have been out of place on a late-period Candlemass or Cathedral album."
"A very strong release."
