Posted on October 18, 2017 by Oran

Ten Ton Slug gave us an exclusive stream of their mighty ‘Matriarch of Slime’ from their forthcoming ‘Blood and Slime’ EP which is scheduled for release on October 31st. Listen here and get your limited pre-order bundle while stocks last!

As reported on Overdrive earlier this month, Galway doom crew, Ten Ton Slug are gearing up for the release of ‘Blood and Slime‘ on October 31st and we have an exclusive stream of ‘Matriarch of Slime‘ which has quickly become a staple track in the bands live shows.

The new EP has been in the works for most of the summer with the four-piece taking their sound to a darker, heavier and equally melodic sonic landscape. Containing three monumental tracks that clock in just under twenty-five minutes, ‘Blood and Slime‘ see’s the band reaching new levels of dynamics and strength, offering a labyrinth of riffs and sky-cracking vocals.

The band commented of the release:

The approach on this EP was different to the last in that we went from recording all together as on ‘Brutal Gluttonous Beast’ to tracking separately in order to try and better capture the energy, definition and the tones that best represent our live sound.

We’ve learned a lot and have progressed a lot as a band since our last EP and certainly feel it shows on this new release. We’ve been constantly writing, playing and getting tighter and heavier as a unit. Our recent endorsement by Vocalzone came just in time for vocal tracking and Ronan laid down some blood-curdling shrieks and screams which we are all delighted with.

Overall we can’t wait to release this and get stuck into writing again, before hitting the road in the new year for gigs around Ireland and the UK.

The slug is hungry.”
