SLOW GREEN THING

Slow Green Thing – already a known name to some in Saxony and beyond – is a Stoner/Doom crew from Dresden. These guys are majorly vibing with ’70s hard rock, with nods to heavy metal. Mix in mostly Stoner-Rock and Doom-Metal elements, and that’s their signature thread. Psychedelic vocals and jam sessions wrap up their whole deal. With four full-length albums and an EP under their belts, these four are spreading their sound on the green stage.

With one foot in the hard/classic rock of the 70‘s/80‘s and the other in the swampy heaviness of today‘s stoner metal/doom scene Slow Green Thing, Sven (guitar/vocals), Andreas (guitar), Jorg (drums) and Martin (bass), are one of those bands once heard, never forgotten.
The quartet have a distinctive groove that is very much their own, a signature sound that marries melody with crushing heaviness without over leaning in either direction, the band walking stridently and confidently a middle ground between both dynamics. On songs such as „When Habits Embrace“ and „Recipe of Doom“ it would be so easy for Slow Green Thing to fall in to the trap of being heavy just for heaviness sake but they avoid this by injecting into their songs a melodic air both vocally and in the structure of their musical arrangements, tempering and counterbalancing all the heaviness of their grooves with soaring psychedelic guitar solo‘s and clean, clear vocal melodies, allowing spaces where the music can take a breath before diving back down into doomic depths.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Around the head of this green beast thing floats a heavy cloud of sludgy groove-doom-riffs, carrying a footnote of classic rock from the 70s and 80s, delicately blended with the sounds of modern times. Fine grunge vibes, spherical sounds vibrate together with the melodic and catchy voice of singer Sven, who must have eaten the vocal chalk of Alice in Chains! This slow green beast is heavy on riffs, but blows a perfectly delivered spiritual vibe-cloud out of his nostrils! With this album the four guys from Dresden have proven that they are by all means one of the many great bands of their genre! This slow green beast has gold dust under its claws!
