Slug Salt Lava - Siaynoq (2018)
When we last covered Slug Salt Lava,
the year was 2014, and the release at hand was their Radiated
Soundscapes EP. There's been no other output from the Turkish group
aside from a live set in 2016, but now they're back with a new EP,
and the five tracks it has to offer show that the band has been
putting their time to use building a harder and heavier vibe.
There's some sludge to it, some heavy metal, traces of death, even a
little groove metal, and the beating of the drums to the chugging of
the guitar hits quite the rhythmic pleasure node. Some tasty guitar
solos throw in alongside the bass riffs for a killer kick, and they
cram quite a bit of change-up into the five songs, trading from doomy
oppression to lively outbursts on a dime. At just twenty minutes,
the band keeps it concise and punchy, and as something of a status
report, it's good to hear them continuing to challenge their earlier
style. Here's hoping they've got more material up their sleeves for
release in the near future, and that they keep up their habit of experimenting with
every release.
