Lord Vicar is an international doom metal band formed in Turku, Finland, in 2007 by guitarist Kimi Kärki (formerly known as Peter Vicar) following the breakup of his previous band, Reverend Bizarre. The band members live in four different countries: Finland, Germany, Switzerland, and Sweden. They are all veterans of heavy metal, bringing experience from several prominent underground metal acts such as Angel Witch, Centurions Ghost, Count Raven, Reverend Bizarre, Saint Vitus, and Witchcraft. The band’s recognizable identity and sound were developed by heavy inspiration from classic doom pioneers like Trouble, Pentagram, The Obsessed, and Witchfinder General, as well as classic and progressive rock.

2027 will be the 20th anniversary of the band, and it will be celebrated with a new, punishing album. On »Fist«, their fifth studio album – to be released on February 28, 2027 by Svart Records – the band observes this world of rising authoritarians, and dwell on the rituals and history of the misuse of power.

Expect to see the band a lot more on the road in 2027.
