Bio
Slug Salt Lava is an
instrumental sludge band from Istanbul formed in 2014. The music aims
to create an ambient of post- apocalypse world in solitude with slow
riffs and doomy atmosphere.
Review:
Slug
Salt Lava is a sludge metal band from Turkey who are starting to
gather quite a reputation within the Sludge/Stoner Metal community.
Guitarist - Ersin Taş – has been a fan of Sludgelord and a friend
of mine for a while. So I wanted to see what this band Ersin is apart
of which is kicking up a storm on a few of my pals blogs.
Slug
Salt Lava is an Instrumental Sludge/Stoner Metal band that manages to
avoid the usual comparisons of instrumental rock/metal bands by
forging their own identity. It's an action packed ride that is full
of precise riffs with a menacing edge to them. Titans Of The
Wasteland and Unearthing Of The Molten Men are the first two heavy
fine offerings to pound your hearing into submission. Sludge and
Stoner Metal riffs combine for an almost bleak and violent take on
the instrumental rock scene.
If
you're dig those two great tracks then the rest of the EP will speak
volumes to you. Infested Mountain has to be my fave track as it
strikes the perfect balance between soulful melodies to the more
violent fast-paced sludgier riffs that gives Slug Salt Lava a
dangerous edge.
Radiated
Soundscapes is an expertly produced EP that shows what these guys can
do. I am hoping a full length album will be released soon as an EP is
not enough time to showcase what Slug Salt Lava can actually do. I
want to hear more from this hard-rocking outfit. Until then this EP
will have to do. Do yourself a favour and buy this EP now as it's a
must have record. Another bonus point for me is now that I can tell my Turkish Step-Dad that Turkey now has a bona-fide Sludge/Stoner Metal Band that he can willingly disapprove of for being too damn loud!!!
Brilliant
Stuff.
