San Francisco-based heavy metal veterans The Lord Weird Slough Feg are stationed in the studio with longtime producer/engineer Justin Weis to track the EP sequel to their legendary 2003 album, Traveller. The EP is set for an early 2025 via Cruz Del Sur Music. The effort will mark the first recording with new drummer Austen Krater.
“I wanted to do an EP that was around 20 minutes of music rather than a full-length album,” guitarist Mike Scalzi says. “I have struggled with coming up with fresh-sounding music for years. After ten albums, a lot of metal riffs really fall into a rut and I never want to do dull, filler songs to complete albums. So, I just sort of ‘cut off the flab.’ After all, most records have about five good songs (if that) on them, and then a bunch of time-consuming filler-you know, long guitar solos and boring atmospheric doom parts. Spare me. I’ll cut off the flab and give people just the juicy stuff. Hopefully, this EP delivers that: Lean and mean heavy metal without all the fluff.”
