Swedish doom/stoner metal trio Hexjakt has announced new single »Monolith«, which will see the light on October 1st, 2025. »Monolith« is the first single taken from the band’s upcoming debut album.

Says the band: “The ritual continues! After an intense session buried in the gloom, we’ve finally sent our new Hexjakt album off for mixing over at Studio Underjord This record is heavier, more atmospheric and darker than anything we’ve conjured before. A descent into despair, distortion, and dread.

The void is calling. Soon… you’ll hear it too.”

Westmanland, Sweden – Rising from the shadows of Scandinavia’s doom underground, Swedish doom/stoner metal band Hexjakt will release their colossal new single »Monolith« on October 1st. The track is taken from the band’s forthcoming debut full-length, and it cements Hexjakt as one of the genre’s most promising new voices.

Forged in 2024, Hexjakt crafts heavy, atmospheric doom steeped in crushing riffs, haunting textures, and introspective weight. Rooted in the traditions of Black Sabbath, Electric Wizard, and Conan, their sound balances classic doom foundations with a bleak and modern edge. Lyrically, »Monolith« dives deep into themes of the occult, human fragility, and the vast unknown, echoing the band’s commitment to exploring despair, mystery, and transcendence.

Their debut EP drew widespread acclaim from both fans and critics, hailed for its depth, intensity, and immersive atmosphere. On stage, Hexjakt’s towering wall of sound and commanding presence has left audiences shaken, delivering performances that linger long after the amps go silent.

With »Monolith«, the band pushes further into the abyss, delivering a slow, relentless, and emotionally charged statement of doom.

»Monolith« will be available on all major streaming platforms October 1st. Pre-save here: hexjakt.ffm.to/monolith
