Slough Feg - Traveller Supplement 1: The Ephemeral Glades

[Everflow]

EP de 20 minutes en avril, premier extrait sympa.

Bay Area underground metal heroes Slough Feg revive the classic Traveller storyline on the Traveller Supplement 1: The Ephemeral Glades EP—seven songs of pure weird metal glory. The EP is set for release April 11 via Cruz Del Sur.

Asteroids! Vegetable spores! Space pirates! Add ‘em up and what do you get? The Lord Weird Slough Feg’s sequel to their now-classic 2003 studio album, Traveller. Traveller Supplement 1: The Ephemeral Glades arrives in the format of a 20-minute EP that delivers lean and mean heavy metal without all of the fluff.

Just as important, it bears numerous similarities to its highly regarded predecessor, right down to being recorded at the same studio, with the same producer (Justin Weis), with the same microphones. The only difference is that 24 years have elapsed.

The Ephemeral Glades story picks up where the original Traveller left off: The exiled Professor Rickets, still transformed to a Vargr, living in exile on his secret asteroid ship, and Baltech Budapest hiding out on the icy planet Mithril.

According to the members of The Lord Weird Slough Feg—guitarist/vocalist Mike Scalzi, second guitarist Angelo Tringali, bassist Adrian Meastas and new drummer Austen Krater—the EP was born from the idea of choosing the best ideas and leaving the rest on the cutting room floor.

In true The Lord Weird Slough Feg form, The Ephemeral Glades, gallops and surges with the band’s trademark twin guitar action. A lot of the vim and vigor behind The Ephemeral Glades is attributed to Krater, who is a prolific writer and contributed to many of the EP’s songs

Dommage que cet EP n'ait pas été disponible lors de leur tournée européenne et leur passage à Paris. J'espère pouvoir choper cela au Keep it true!
