Slowenya Release New Single “Synchronized”; Meadow Coming April 22
To be perfectly honest, I’m not even sure anymore how some bands get hyped and some don’t, as I’m pretty out of the circle when it comes to which groups and influencers are in the know, but Turku, Finland’s Slowenya reached out to me and I’m genuinely enjoying what I’m hearing in their take on cosmic doom, crushing and airy in mind. Otherworldly heavy. The record, their first full-length, is called Meadow and it’s out next month on Karhuvaltio Records.
The first single from the album is called “Synchronized,” and it’s shorter than you might expect at first, but there’s no mistaking that densely weighted chug. I’m nowhere near cool enough to have been in on the two-songer the trio released last year, but this’ll do nicely, and better late than never to get on board, if first single from first album counts as late, which it probably does. Good thing I’m too old to care.
From the PR wire:
SLOWENYA // new single & album to be released
SLOWENYA, a heavily downtuned ambient influenced modern doom metal trio releases a new single “Synchronized” from the upcoming album “Meadow” (out 22th of april 2022 via Karhuvaltio Records).
Singer and guitarist Jan Trygg says: “Synchronized is a crushing song with uplifting vocals. I thinks there´s something in the song that relates with Depeche Mode and Deftones… maybe a little bit of Meshuggah too. This is also the shortest song of the upcoming album “Meadow”. All in all the new album is much more industrial-like and cold compared to our debut mini-album “Somer”.”
Before Slowenya was born, guitarist / singer Jan Trygg and drummer Timo Niskala played in the doom / death metal band Morbid Evils (2014-2018) and toured Europe together with such bands as Voivod (CAN) and Entombed A.D. (SE). In Finland, they’ve shared the stage with Eyehategod (US), Conan (UK) and Primitive Man (US) to name a few.
Slowenya is strongly self-sufficient in graphics, photographs, music videos and live visuals.
