Moving away from the murky stoner rock of the early days, "Approaching Doom" presents a darker, more metallic and uncompromisingly pounding sound, with production leaning towards early '90s grit and heaviness and song themes that add an extra layer of tension beneath the grooves. Recorded on analog tape without digital editing, "Approaching Doom" shows Monsternaut fully locked in and hitting harder than ever, marking a confident new chapter in their story. Fans of early Corrosion of Conformity, Down, Alabama Thunderpussy or The Sword should love this!

"Approaching Doom" arrives March 27 via Heavy Psych Sounds.

Monsternaut is a heavy trio hailing from Finland, formed in 2012 by guitarist Tuomas Heiskanen and bassist Perttu Härkönen. Fueled by the grit of Fu Manchu, Corrosion of Conformity, and Down, the band is about nothing but heavy grooves, hard-hitting riffs, and hooks built for pure headbanging. Monsternaut keeps it loud, tight, and straight to the point, delivering a high-energy set with no filler.

The band released their self-titled debut album in 2016 through Heavy Psych Sounds, followed by "Enter the Storm" in 2018. They hit the road across Europe and later crossed the Atlantic for shows in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, backing up their reputation as a live band worth witnessing.

Drummer Patrik Kuitunen joined after the second album, bringing new rhythmic fire and pushing the music toward bolder riff ideas. That momentum led to their third full-length "Approaching Doom", their heaviest album to date, recorded entirely on analog tape with no digital editing and capturing Monsternaut as they are: relying on performance, chemistry and feel rather than correction.

Notable Finnish producer and sound engineer Anssi Kippo, known for his extensive work with Children of Bodom, also added valuable expertise to the sessions and strengthened the process. Set for release in 2026 through Heavy Psych Sounds, "Approaching Doom" shows the band tighter, darker, and more focused than ever.
