Swedish sludge lords Slôdder today unveil their entire second full-length album “A Mind Designed to Destroy Beautiful Things”, two days ahead of the release date set for this Friday, November 24th on vinyl and digital download via Majestic Mountain Records. The full album is now playing at Invisible Oranges, who commented “The Swedish sludge group’s new album A Mind Designed to Destroy Beautiful Things contains truckloads of bluesy, shuffling sludge riffs that ooze so seamlessly one might forget we’re talking sludge–of course, the rasped, half-audible howls accompanying them are a good reminder. It’s a concoction supernaturally exported from the gutters of New Orleans to Slôdder’s studio, and the filth is definitely running up the walls in there.” Listen to “A Mind Designed to Destroy Beautiful Things” here. Recorded from start to finish in just 19 and a half hours at Sweden’s Studio Underjord with engineer and producer Joona Hassinen, “A Mind Designed to Destroy Beautiful Things” was produced live and raw, with the intention of capturing the sheer power, energy and bestial emotion you encounter from Slôdder at a live gig. Continuous noise, no pause, no rest, left intentionally rough and unpolished as life itself can be. If you’re looking for a band to deliver a raw and noisy sludge, then look no further than Slôdder because this album is a gritty and pummeling experience from start to end, with plenty of nasty and groovy riffs to keep you locked in. Pre-orders are now available at this location. If you missed it, a video for the first advance track “46” is still playing at this location. |
