Hailing
from Grand Forks ,
B.C, Slagduster
named after, “a slang term local to our area for a piece of machinery that was used
in the mines over a hundred years ago.” Isolation has most certainly
bred inspiration in the shape of Slagduster. “We are the only four musicians
in our small town driven to form a progressive metal band.”
Inspired
by such giants as Goijira. Sikth, Meshuggah, Dillinger Escape Plan, Between The
Buried And Me, vocalist Shane Sherman describes Slagduster’s sound as “progressive,
groovy, creative, unique, heavy.” Set to release their sophomore album ‘Deadweight’ on May 5, 2017 the band
feel their record will be well received by fans “Naturally our sound has come a
long way since our debut release in 2010. The music is more complex, and much
more developed, still heavy, but even more groove based. Listeners can expect
to be challenged by focusing on the compositions, or lost in the musical
landscape.”
‘Deadweight’ is due out on May 5, 2017
and will be available on Bandcamp, iTunes, Amazon, Spotfiy and all major online
retailers. Today were are exclusively
debuting the band’s debut single 'Peeping Ron' which encompasses many
aspects of their upcoming album 'Deadweight'. Grooved rhythms,
technical riffing, odd time signatures and pummeling vocals, layered over
complex drum work. Enjoy!
