IK002 SLOUGH FEG - Pre-orders start Wednesday 21st of MayWe are glad to announce our next release: The fabulous "Hardworlder" album by Slough Feg will be released on June 13th.
The album, which is based on Alfred Bester's amazing Science Fiction novel "The stars my destination" and its main character Gully Foyle, shows the band from a slightly different angle than their previous releases. The amazing twin guitar leads, the melodic yet dynamic riffing and the great, thoughtful lyrics are still there. But as a whole - far from trying to be "retro" - the album has that very special "classic" feel to it. Think of a 1970s version of Iron Maiden with hints of early Epic Metal like Manilla Road of Cirith Ungol. Totally unique, totally brilliant!
