SLOTH METROPOLIS formed in Glasgow, 2012. Once the name was chosen, the band's mascot, 'The Sloth of the Metropolis', took on a life of his own, linking songs and live shows into a central story spanning multiple albums. The unique electric-violin and keyboard driven sound of Sloth Metropolis combines influences from the dark corners of prog, folk, doom and increasingly on recent albums, ‘Moth Necropolis’ and ‘Live in the Necropolis’, expansive psychedelic improvisation.
