All systems are go!!

Conan vs Slomatics masters are now at the pressing plant, we’re hoping to get the test pressings back next week, so if everything is OK, the vinyl should see a release in Mid May. We’ve also had 2 reviews back and so our thanks go to The Obelisk and The Sleeping Shaman for their kind words.

Conan versus Slomatics

War rumbles in the dark mountains. Northern Ireland’s Slomatics take on Liverpool’s Conan in a super-heavyweight showdown.

THE CONTENDERS:

Conan – a three piece of such sluggish might that even the Old Ones themselves are wary. Their debut album ‘Horseback Battle Hammer’ (vinyl on Throne; CD on Aurora Borealis) has sold out now. Conan explore a new-found psychedelic prowess here, yet still retain their trademark tone of impossibly low-end power.

Slomatics – Belfast-based trio of grandiose riff-runts. Been going since 2004. Two albums, three splits and a slavish cult following. These Hibernian doomhounds are quirky and unlike anyone else, although they do share some genetic material with early Melvins. Beautiful; heavy; strangely enticing.

THE DETAILS:

12″ sky blue vinyl, with ace sleeve by Tony Roberts (Electric Wizard, High On Fire) and additional vocals by Dave Anderson (ex-Hawkwind/Amon Duul II) – limited to 300 copies ONLY. Recorded at Foel Studio in deepest Wales and mastered by the inimitable James Plotkin (Khanate, OLD). Out very soon on HEAD OF CROM Records – £16 from including p&p.
