Motherslug - "Motherslug" ...

One of the coolest albums that passed by silently under my radar last year was the S/T debut EP of MOTHERSLUG. These Australians are newcomers on the scene but judging from this EP it won’t take them long till they become major players on the game.

Their tunes won’t earn the Nobel of originality but these guys (and girl) know exactly what Stoner/Doom is all about and just love doing it, giving less than a shit about originality. Think classic Stoner played heavier and in a more monolithic way. KYUSS, ACRIMONY and SLEEP would give you some clues.

If you have time to check only one track of this band then this should be “Space Man”: Trippy intro, fuzzed up bass, harsh vocals, heavy guitars, hard pounding drums but most of all giant-sized monolithic riffs man! That’s what MOTHERSLUG is all about.

Four songs feel like they end as soon as they start but they seem enough to turn you into an addict of their sound. Seriously catchy stuff…and I am just waiting for their next move.
