SLOTH

Hey yall..

my friend BA from a small town in Holland emailed me this today…

its a review about our split we did with landverraad, its done by Tom and this is his website. http://onepathforme.blogspot.com

we also like piledrivers!

_________________________________________________________________________________

Landverraad and Sloth are two bands from Holland. The artwork (to the left) may have you a little confused and not taking this split too seriously, but never judge a book by it’s cover. The songs on this split are angry and well articulated.

Landverraad has a very pissed off hardcore sound which ranges everywhere from super fast to slow and bruiting. The vocals are a bit high-pitched and very relentless. Lyrically you get a good idea of what this band is about with lots of focus on critiquing religion, politics and institutional oppression. “Darkest of Thoughts” is an interesting lyrical detour, focusing on mental illness and instability, it’s done quite well.

Sloth brings you some heavy down tuned hardcore that is reminiscent to me of some 90′s hardcore mixed with a bit of something darker. I like the way this is mixed and recorded. It has such a dense sound to it which adds to the “piledriver” effect of their music. The bass tone is especially nice. Lyrically, Sloth doesn’t pull any punches. There is no abstraction here…they want you to know what they are about. The track “Go Vegan Go” is a brief, but concise example of how this band can lay out it’s stance.

I found myself enjoying the Sloth side a bit more here due to the darker and denser sound. I definitely hope both of these bands have a long future in front of them.

We had two amazing shows in Germany two days of endless amounts of kartoffels, Mates, Big bottles of alcohol free beer, German cops and amazing people!

A huge hug and thanks to all our nice friends from the Kraake concert collective also a big thank you to Julian and Jonas and all the people that make AJZ Bielefeld an amazing place..High fives to Bacchus, Wolf x Down and Hyena!

We will be doing a short tour in Februari and in April we will go to scandinavia with our friends in Tyrannicide. We have some gaps to fill so it would be great if you could help us out or send us in the right direction! get in touch trough slothhc [ A ] riseup.net

Hi,

this is our blog/website. We are a band from Nijmegen, the Netherlands and we formed in the beginning of 2011. Things that interest us are, for example, loud music, using our own hands and ideas to try and make this world a less fucked up place to live in, cooking and eating vegan food, meeting amazing people, swimming, doing dishes, and more.

We recently recorded some of our songs and will hopefully be able to share these recordings here with you soon.

Keep it real,

Sloth
