Singer/Guitarist Mike Scalzi gave only a short list of the new Drummer’s vital statistics:

• Loyal Slough Feg fan since 2007

• Sharp wit/ keen philosophical/linguistic intellect

• Corrective lenses necessary when drumming/ viewing oversized metal chicks’ asses

• Huge heavy metal fan, with tastes ranging from early Maiden and Priest to Budgie and Beethoven

• Corporate spirit with liberal incentives towards Slough Feg’s prime directive

Da mu jebem sve, tek sam sinoć skontao da je "Price Is Nice" 'posvećena' Vincent Price-u. Carski :]

Slough Feg Rejoins CRUZ DEL SUR MUSIC!

 

San Francisco true metal troubadours SLOUGH FEG have rejoined Italy’s Cruz Del Sur Music, the label behind the band’s heralded “Atavism” (2005), “Hardworlder” (2007) and “Ape Uprising!” (2009) albums.

 

Comments vocalist/guitarist Mike Scalzi: “We are happy to announce that we are back with Cruz Del Sur Music and will begin recording a new album in July! We believe that a smaller ‘boutique’ label such as Cruz Del Sur is appropriate for our sound, fanbase and work ethic, and look forward to working with Enrico [Leccese] and company again.”

 

“I am extremely excited to have SLOUGH FEG back on Cruz Del Sur!” says Leccese. “It is always nice when bands you like track you down. It’s even more special when it’s someone you’ve worked with for about ten years and established a friendly relationship. It’s a recognition that we were doing something right in the past. I can’t wait to hear the new album and share it with the metal world.”

 

Continues Scalzi: “The new album will be called ‘The New Organon’, and the songs are somewhat of a return to the heavier side of our sound: more rustic, heavy, churning, medieval/Celtic and proggy sounding riffs, as opposed to the more ’70s rock sounds of more recent albums. But don’t worry: there will be a couple of rockers as well! We will also have some newer, experimental songwriting styles, mixing heavy rock and metal with the melodic sounds of ’50s and ’60s pop. Imagine DEL SHANNON singing for BLUE CHEER! After all, it wouldn’t be a SLOUGH FEG album without some bizarre surprises!

 

“So, journey we more into the vaults of the Voi-vaudevillian…the Epic-cure for all Epicurean Angst and Ennui. The Celtic cacophony continues!”

S obzirom da je Virgin Steele maltene mrtav za mene, TLWSF je sledeća primarna live misija.

ja sam odlucio da je meni King's X. mnogo su matori

THE LORD WEIRD SLOUGH FEG Returns With First Album In Five Years, ‘New Organon’

“I didn’t want to just ‘put out another album,’” begins Slough Feg vocalist/guitarist Mike Scalzi. “I remember telling people that I didn’t want to do another album just to do another album, like so often happens. So, we wrote a lot of songs and only picked the best ones.”

Such was the approach for SLOUGH FEG’s long-awaited tenth studio album, “New Organon”, which will see the light of day via Cruz Del Sur Music on June 14 in European territories and June 21 in North America. “New Organon” also marks the recording debut of drummer Jeff Griffin (who split studio duties with John Dust) and joins Scalzi and longtime members Angelo Tringali (guitar) and Adrian Maestas (bass).

“New Organon” is another definitive statement from one of America’s most enduring and unique true metal bands, whose penchant for THIN LIZZY-inspired guitar harmonies and Scalzi’s timeless storytelling has turned albums such as 2005’s “Atavism”, 2007’s “Hardworlder” and 2010’s “The Animal Spirits” into proto-metal bedrocks.

Since the release of 2014’s “Digital Resistance”, SLOUGH FEG did three touring jaunts through Europe in addition to some shorter American runs, not to mention the release of the “New Organon” seven-inch, which was issued last year. Scalzi freely admits that real life has gotten in the way of SLOUGH FEG making a new LP. That, and his desire to make sure the band still sounds fresh after nine studio albums. “A lot of stuff ended up on the cutting room floor,” he says. “There were some songs we tried to work out for months but ended up dropping because they bored us. We have to be excited about new songs or there’s no point in recording them. We dropped several songs I came up with and some that the other guys came up with, too. It’s tough, but sometimes you have to be honest with yourself and the people in your band and move on when an idea is not working. So, we came up with a lot of song ideas and only kept the ones that sounded exciting for months.”

In true SLOUGH FEG tradition, there is a strong theme running throughout “New Organon”, which was inspired by the 1620 book published by Francis Bacon of the same name. “It presents a new version of the scientific method, as originally presented by Aristotle 2,000 years earlier,” notes Scalzi, who is also a philosophy professor at a college in California. “According to Bacon and others, the science method had remained stagnant for this long period, through the middle ages and renaissance, and needed a refresher. ‘Organon’ refers to a scientific ‘instrument’ or more literally, ‘organ.’ So, it represents a new method for scientific revolution. The songs are all basically about philosophy—from my lecture notes! It starts out talking about primitive tribal society like shamanism as the first philosophers and then proceeds though the pre-Socratics era and then Plato, Aristotle, medieval catholic theology, enlightenment and then existentialist philosophy — mostly in chronological order.”

Fans of the band’s early output when they went under the extended name of THE LORD WEIRD SLOUGH FEG will no doubt be enthused for what’s in store on “New Organon”. The album has a more natural, if not “rustic” feel to it, recalling the band’s halcyon “Twilight Of The Idols” and “Down Among The Deadmen” era. “Very simply, the songs are more heavy, rough and produced rawer than the last album or two,” says Scalzi. “The themes are not about technology, but about ancient philosophy and science. It’s just more metal, but in a very primitive way — but that’s sort of our specialty anyway.”

Around the release date of “New Organon”, SLOUGH FEG will be trekking across the United States with labelmates Sanhedrin. “We’ll be doing ten shows on the east coast in late May/early June, right about the time when the album comes out, including New York, Boston, Baltimore and Pittsburgh,” says Scalzi. “In early August, SANHEDRIN is going to come out we’ll do another run with them up and down the west coast.”

Evo ga novi Fegovi https://getmetal.club/158497-the-lord-weird-slough-feg-new-organon-2019.html

[Angelystor]

Baš ga sinoć skinuo sa Soulseeka konačno, haha, here we go.

[azal]

bezveze je ovo meni na prvo slusanje. produkcija kao da im je budzet bio 100 dolara, zvuci kao da su neke pesme snimali u kucnom studiju a neke druge u garazi kod komsije. Sword of Machiavelli zvuci kao demo. 

nisu pesme lose ali nisu ni nesto narocito dobre. ovo mi kao neki low budget Animal Spirits.

prosto nemas razloga da se vracas ovom albumu, nema nista ovde sto nisu vec bolje uradili na proslim albumima. 

[Angelystor]

Podosta se slažem. Meni je prvo slušanje celokupan utisak bio da sve zvuli kao demo, a ne gotov produkt.

Materijal zvuči ok generalno, i iako ima interesantnih delova ili ništa novo dobro ili ništa spec, a meni je više low budget Digital Resistance.

Meni je iskreno i "Animal Spirits" bio mrša, pogotovo u poređenju sa "Ape Uprising", tako da su uhvatili malo niz sjajnoća-bogalj sa albumima.

[Grobodan]

 

[Angelystor]

Gledao ovo na prepade pre neki dan, uglavnom starije stvari samo, dosta dobro zvuči s obzirom da retko prave turneje. Čak mi je mislim ovo bio prvi put da gledam neki TLWSF live clip

Sem toga, ovaj Scalzi ima najupečatljiviju glavu ikada.

[Sreta]

UBIVAET!

[azal]

dobar. treba razmisljati o onom up the hammers 2020

[Angelystor]

Ja bih na to išao bukvalno samo zbog Lord Fega, ovo ostalo mi baš mrša ukupno.

Sve se nadam da će još neki datumi tad da kapnu.

[azal]

ili da objave jos nesto interesatno za UTH
