Finnish doom/stoner rock trio Kaiser share new single ‘Awaken Monster’

Finnish stoner rock titans KAISER have recently released another thunderous new single from their forthcoming second album “2nd Sound”,  which is set to be released on March 7, via Majestic Mountain Records. Titled “Awaken Monster,” this new track premiered at Decibel Magazine, who praised the track stating: “With a sound that stands tall and proud in the center of the sun-baked desert fuzz/soulful British electric blues/thunderous doom thrash Venn diagram, the trio from Helsinki come out swinging with their latest work.”

The band had this to say about the track: 

“This song was crafted in the wake of the world reopening after the long, isolating shadow of the Covid era. It captures the essence of reclaiming all that was lost or deferred during those times. More than just a song, it’s an anthem about awakening from a state akin to death, to truly live once more. It’s about the rebirth of experiences, the joy of connection, and the triumphant return to life’s vibrancy that we feared might be gone forever.”

Formed in 2013, the band—Otu (guitar/vocals), RiQ (drums), and Pex (bass)—has steadily carved their own path through the Finnish rock scene with their signature sound, influenced by the likes of Kyuss, Sleep, and High on Fire.

Kaiser first made waves in 2014 with their self-titled EP, followed by their debut album, 1st Sound, in 2018. Their live shows are an unforgettable experience—intense, sweaty, and powerful, leaving audiences feeling like they’ve survived a musical storm. 2nd Sound promises to continue their journey with even more molten riffs and crushing intensity, solidifying Kaiser as a staple in stoner rock. Pre-orders are now available at this location.
