Gothenburg trio Lommi have been laying the lumber for nearly two decades—and they have the beards to prove it—but there was a long hiatus in there, so new album 667788, which we’re streaming in full here, was a while in the making. On the eight-track effort, however, the band—Jens Florén (vocals/guitar), Dennis Österdal (bass), Jörgen Tjusling (drums)—shows no signs of rust. Their Clutch-meets-Melvins, groove-laden metal is loaded with catchy riffs, a thunderous rhythm section and gnarled grunge aesthetic. 667788 is dark, moody and packs a solid sonic wallop.
The album was produced by the band, with mixing by Svein Jensen. It was mastered by Johan Reivén and is set for digital release via Majestic Mountain on August 1. Place your preorder here.
The band had this to say about its new full-length:
“The wait is finally over! After more than a decade in the shadows, we’re back and louder than ever. Our new album, 667788, is here and we couldn’t be more proud to share it with you. It’s packed with crushing riffs, bone-shaking grooves, and everything you’ve come to expect and from Lommi. This isn’t merely a comeback, it’s a statement. A timeless, unapologetic slab of metal that proves our sound and energy are stronger than ever, despite the fact that we’re all older now. Turn it up. Tell a friend. Let’s raise some hell.”
