Authors description:
SLAB: 'A death metal growl, wrapped in swathes of dark melody, turned up to 11 and guided by a hardcore punk attitude.'
SLAB were conceived in 2005 by cousins Big Jim Fletcher and Andy 'Kimbo' Kimberley (Bass and drums respectively), and guitarist/vocalist Jake Cowing. Combining many different styles and influences whilst still trying to focus on good songwriting the 'power-trio' have managed to win fans from both metal/rock and punk/hardcore audiences. This may be due not only to the ever-changing song styles but also to the hard roadwork the band have put in, earning fans up and down the UK, Ireland and as far afield as Malta.
With over 250 gigs played in the bands relatively short history, SLAB are a major force to be reckoned with in the live arena. SLAB released 'Betray the Past.. Infect the future' in 2008 through Meltdown Records to critical and fan acclaim.
Late 2010 saw the release of their second album 'Megafaunal Genocide', which has been receiving very pleasing reviews from the music press:
… takes extremity into truly frightening territory.(8/10) - Metal Hammer Magazine (March 2011)
… a massively impressive headfuck of discordant thunder. (4.5/6) – Zero Tolerance Magazine (Feb 2011)
50 mins of brutality with influences from Sepultura to Darwin. – Terrorizer Magazine (Feb 2011)
Possibly the best unsigned extreme metal band doing the rounds in the Midlands right now… it’s a fucking crime that Slab remain unsigned. (9/10) – Jason Guest, MidlandsRocks.co.uk, (Feb 2011)
Megafaunal Genocide listed in MidlandRocks’ Top Albums of 2010
