When you google search today’s SLUDGELORD
debutants, The Road, Cormac
McCarthy’s novel of the same name is the top result. A post-apocalyptic
novel detailing the journey of a father and his young son, across a landscape
blasted by an unspecified cataclysm, the
duos (consisting of Rob
Duncan (Guitar
& Vox) and Steve Roberts) blend of crushing post doom could be the
perfect soundtrack for that apocalypse.
Having
witnessed The
Road recently in the live arena, I was reminded of the short lived
duo Adai
and fans of the band have also rightly compared their sound to Sumac, Bongripper,
and Cult of Luna. I can testify to the fact that the sheer
power of their music live has been transferred superbly to tape as they're primed to unleash their debut record “Reverence Redacted” on 23rd
August 2019
With
a sound that is seemingly impossible for 2 people to make, The Road aim to bring their mix of doom,
post-metal and raw emotion to all who seek truth in their music. “Reverence Redacted” is available on
LP can be preordered HERE. With the album set to drop this Friday,
we’re excited to debut a track from the album below. Dial the volume up to 11 and check out “Gyro Electro Destroyer” which is
streaming below
