Slugdge - Esoteric Malacology ALBUM REVIEW

England's gastropod loving extreme metal duo Slugdge reach new heights with their fourth LP Esoteric Malacology, an album that compels you to listen to it in its entirety where every song has its reason to be enjoyed. The band's sense of humour shouldn't in any way deter you away from their fantastic musicianship and imagination.

Matt Moss Can't believe you actually commented my video! Thank you for making such amazing music, just got my vinyl copy :) Cheers to you!

Pretty much agree 100% with your review. This is a great album. Putrid Fairytale is pretty amazing. Every riff is great and the solo was definitely the best on the album. While I agree that Limo Vincit Omnia doesn't stand out against the rest of the tracks, there is a riff that kicks in at around 4:35 of the song that I really enjoyed. Probably my favorite record of 2018 so far.

Andrew Sousa Oh yeah definitely! Every song wihout exception still has its reason to be listened to! Definitely a strong contender for aoty!

Great review dude. You covered so much detail about them. I appreciate the volume of various stuff you covered. I have listened to their past couple albums and this one is for sure their best so far. For me at least. Not saying previous were bad either. But this one just has so many different things to it. I have shared them a lot on social media hoping to get others into them. And your review is yet another way to share the love for this band with others. Thanks again. \m/

Here I am years later and absolutely agreeing with you on this. Your comments more relevant than ever. When everything was starting to sound like the same giant, uninteresting, almost generic repetitive mesh... Boom. The Spectral Burrows emerges from the white noise. Revealing all that is Slugdge. I’m wet. I’m sticky. I hail to thee Mollusca. And I’ve never felt better.

One of us! One of us! The giant pool of sameness is going stronger than ever, don't you think? Have you discovered anything else worh listening to?

[@planesofrealitymusic547]

finally someone who enjoyed the long ass progressive songs. ONE OF US! ONE OF US! PRAISE MOLLUSCA!

[@NocturneVideos]

You bet!

[@aglees2b]

I disagree about the tracks you dislike, but that's OK. On the whole fully agree with your assessment... I haven't heard a metal album this good since Blackwater Park or Crack The Skye.

I hope that you know that your voice is very pleasant to listen to.

Thank you! It's not always obvious for me, but it's very nice to know :)
