Belfast-based doom overlords Slomatics have long been one of our favourite riff-heavy Irish acts. Ten years and a couple of line-up changes into their evolution, the three-piece have just unveiled the video to their latest single, the decidedly crushing ‘Troglorite’
The four-and-a-half minute minute opening track to the band’s forthcoming fourth album, Estron, the creeping, drop-tuned offering evokes the likes of Sleep/early High and Fire and Conan (a band the guys released a split with back in 2011) in equal proportion.
Set to be released next month, Estron was recorded and mixed at Belfast’s Start Together Studios and is a concept album based on, in the band’s own words, “despair, space travel, hope and more despair.” The album was mastered by James Plotkin of Khanate and OLD.
