Slowenya Announce Angel Raised Wolves b/w Horizontal Loops Single Out April 28
After making their their sophomore full-length, 2022’s Meadow (review here), Turku, Finland’s Slowenya push outward with the impending two-songer Angel Raised Wolves b/w Horizontal Loops. The new short outing, which will see release next week, is about 10 minutes long, but that’s plenty enough time for the trio to run through a mini-gamut of melodic, cosmic crush, noise rock, dug-in nod and ensuing ambient spread. I don’t know if they’re planning a 7″ or anything — “Angel Raised Wolves” is 6:39, which would be long for an A-side — but the vibe is right on either way to catch ears from anyone who might’ve missed the album, which, you know, that shit happens.
To me pretty much daily. Accordingly, if you heard Meadow or didn’t, these two tracks are a chance to get introduced before their third album’s arrival, which is slated for September. No audio yet, but that’ll come next week, so keep an eye out, and one assumes the band will have more live activity as well around the LP’s release, so I’ll keep an eye on festival lineups because I know if I was booking a bill over there (I’m not, but it would be fun), they’d be a standout worth inviting.
From the PR wire:
SLOWENYA CONTINUES TO CREATE CRUSHING AND BEAUTIFUL SOUNDSCAPES (DOUBLE SINGLE OUT 4/28/23)
Alt. doom trio Slowenya (from the Southwest of Finland, founded in 2020) releases a double single on Friday, April 28, 2023 (Karhuvaltio Records). The double single presents different aspects of the upcoming full-length album which will be released in late September 2023.
“Angel Raised Wolves” is a more contemplative and ethereal composition, while “Horizontal Loops” combines old school death metal with low tuned modern riffing, with distorted screams and sampled soundscapes layered on top.
Angel Raised Wolves is lyrically a tribute to the Canidae family (dog species) and about embracing every moment we are allowed to share with them. Horizontal Loops is lyrically about trying to understand and relate with the natural progression of things.
Slowenya will play in Riga and Tallinn early May 2023.
SLOWENYA:
Jan Trygg – guitar / vocals / synths
Timo Niskala – drums / ambient / samples
Tapani Levanto – bass / backing vocals
