Title: Slomatics - Canyons
Post by: Hambeast on June 24, 2019, 02:19:53 PM
I saw this pop up on Spotify and I wasn't aware they were working on a new one. I was slightly uninterested at first as the last few albums have sounded pretty similar to me so I was expecting this one to be more of the same, but I've been enjoying it so far. There's some cool choiry/synth parts throughout which sound pretty cool. It's up on Bandcamp for anyone interested

Great band, this one certainly sounds different to the other ones.

Looking forward to it. Estron is still my favourite doom release by a band from this island.

Just hit play.  This is great.  Such growth from their more primitive earlier style.  I love the added keyboard and the vocals are fantastic but I can't put my finger on who they remind me of.

What I've heard of it so far has been class, the keyboards work really well. Touch of Netherlands in the fuzzy end of things, maybe?

Great riffs & atmosphere, synth and guitars work really well together.
But the drums, it's hard to put my finger on it, the drums turn me off it a little

Have given this a few listens over the last week and am duly impressed. Everything mentioned above, synth, guitars, atmosphere, riffs, composition, all great. Special praise has to go to the vocals too; they're delivered a tangible notch above where they've ever been before in terms of confidence and conviction, not to mention timbre and pitch.

May just have what it takes to knock Estron off my top slot over the next few weeks.

Still waiting on this to be delivered from Black Bow.   

Email said it was dispatched nearly 2 weeks ago.
Not looking too good, I think!     :(

Just came here to post something similar. Bought it on the 2nd, shipping notification on the 11th, when there was no sign of it on Monday (22nd) I emailed, was asked my address and I had to send another mail today to find out that it was only sent yesterday. Shoddy.

Maybe give him a shout about yours?

Having same issue, still waiting on an order.

Are Conan touring at the moment? That might explain the delay.

Didn't know it was them, oh well- perhaps that's the reason then. Will wait.

Still waiting...
Email on 11th saying it had been dispatched.
I mailed 2 weeks later to say I stall hadn't received it.
Got a reply the other week saying there was an issue with damaged tapes from their supplier and they were waiting on new copies.

Still nothing a month later.

Bit of a fucking sham outfit.
Won't be ordering through them again, that's for sure.

Just nabbed a T-shirt & live CD from their Bandcamp page, hopefully they're more efficient themselves.

Hopefully all your  purchases from Black Bow have arrived by now. If not message Jon on  jpd@blackbowrecords.com and he'll chase with Cargo for you. I know demand was high, but stuff should have been a bit quicker out, hopefully next time will be a bit smoother, they've just moved over to a new distributor (cargo).

Anyone that's bought from our bandcamp we generally ship once a week (if we aren't away playing), so you shouldn't have to wait too long.

For info: The Canyons Orange/ Black Splatter version is now sold out from us we've a few of the  Blue/ Black Splatter and Clear/ Black Splatter left over on our Bandcamp, also got a few Totems back in stock.

The Live Roadburn 12" and A Hocht 12"s are now all sold out.

Cheers everyone that picked something up :)

Just lobbed in an order for the CD.

Arrived back from hols to find the tape had finally landed. 

Wish I'd waited another week or so before ordering.
I would have got it about a month ago from the band when they put it up on bandcamp.
