The Swamp 07:52
Hear me out Something’s there Lurking in the filth Waiting for you Deceiving Feeding on fear, flesh and bones Patient and deadly Smell the stench Something’s near Lumbering Coming for you Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide No escape The Swamp is coming to get you Coming to get you Screaming to hell No one will come for you No one will ever find you Drowning in mud Swallowing slime You’re part of it now The Swamp – Fear the Swamp
2.
Lost souls gathering ‘round the chosen one Healer of the pain Selling to his lambs some heaven on earth Holy water in his veins Granting godly powers Holy Fire vapours Evil guiding sinners Blessing harlots in bed Sermon dealer Showing the way Filthy preacher Watching souls decay Come to the High Mass Fathers never confess And ignorance is bliss Turning water into blood God’s seed abides in them to grow buds
3.
Lighting it up Taking a puff And running your mouth Fire’s burning Smoke escaping You’re lost in your mind Look at me now Reefer Keeper I need to toke it up Don’t wanna ask Don’t wanna feel Like some kinda jerk Just wanna fill My lungs with smoke Can’t wait anymore Don’t wanna hear You talking no more Gimme the fucking joint! I’m sick of your shit You’re here every night Taking, never asking Keeping, never giving Fucking pot blocker You’re high enough now Can’t stand watching you Emptying the green bag Fucking parasite Imma grind your brain And make a bong out Of your fucking skull
4.
Mojo Drown 09:07
Arh, shivering… It’s getting harder to breathe So high -- so low Boiled blood, brain whirl Thick, cold fog Surrounding me Alone and lost Heart pounding out of my chest Trapped in a mind loop Sucking my soul up Make it stop now I’m carried away with the dust

Reviews:

"Amis du son lourd, d'ambiances des bayous, des atmosphères dyonisiennes et enfumées, cette démo 4 titres est sans aucun doute pour vous !
Importée de Limoges par le biais du trio ( à l'époque) Slugpie, cette œuvre propose quatre titres au fuzz intense et bien rond, un groove éléphantesque accompagné d'un chant bien hargneux qui ne sera pas sans rappeler les druides de Bongzilla (en + du clin d’œil sur un titre comme « Reefer Keeper »).

Quatre titres sur lesquels les cages à miel se verront emplies d'un nectar aux effets euphorisants et cet ensemble vous bercera le cerveau occasionnant bien vite une mydriase tant l'ensemble est chargé.
On pensera donc aisément à Bongzilla pour le trip dans lequel nous emmène le trio. Lourdeur et groove sont de la fête et ce son de gratte ravira aussi les adorateurs de groupes comme Sour Vein.

La formule ronronne, bourdonne, « Reefer Keeper » pour la citer à nouveau est une véritable invitation à la soirée smoking exigé. Accrocheuse, la mélodie se fait addictive et l'ambiance boogie blues hume bon l'herbe coupée.
Une petite accélération intervient mais conserve néanmoins cet aspect massif à souhait.

Ce n'est nullement avec les larsens et autres effets planants de « Mojo Drown » que vous ressortirez de cette dépravation neuronale car, ici aussi, les moteurs sont huilés à bloc.
Rythmique lourde, son de gratte et de basse toujours aussi gonflés et assomants, puis chant ghoulesque savent doser efficacement le cocktail proposé.
Une démo au bien bon esprit qui saura plaire aux plus adeptes amateurs de sludge doom qui sont toujours prêts à faire les 420 coups puis à ceux qui adorent se faire vibrer la cervelle aux infra sons des bayous.

La groupe est à la recherche d'un batteur depuis, souhaitons lui bonne recherche et l'impatience quant à une nouvelle fournée se fait intense.

"Here’s a new delicacy from France, called Slugpie. And keeping in the tradition of everything else I’ve posted recently, it’s a very un-Christmas like. It’s a slab of dirty (drug induced?) Sludge that sounds like it came from the swamps of America’s Deep South, rather than from the infinitely more cultured city of Limoges."

"Slugpie are the perfect antidote to a day of Crimbo music and faux cheer.

December the first is a day I look forward to and dread. The looking forward is always simple. Its just after payday and the thought of the Christmas break is so close you can taste it. The downside is that today marks the first in a long day of almost constant Christmas music at work. By rule Christmas songs are terrible by design. In three and a half minutes they cram in everything that sums up the period. Over indulgence, gaudiness and an underling vibe that if you aren’t enjoying it then you ust be defective in a happiness gland. Today was one such day. I needed an alternative. Luckily I found it in Slugpie.

Slugpie are a sludge trio from Limoges, Limousin in France. They make the kind of music that can only be made when boredom happens, musical conventions have been thrown out of the window and a total disregard for decibels has been reached. Basically its loud, slow, repetitive and very, very good! Opening track, The Swamp, is the stand out track on the EP. As The Swamp starts an eerie and spooky vibe kicks in before a devastating riff kicks in that grabs you by the ears and doesn’t let go until the end. It sways and skews along its stoner rock way until a searing solo appears out of nowhere. It’s like the Misfits are being covered by Kyuss.

While the lyrics to The Swamp are little more than guttural screams and grunts there is a larger picture. Luckily Slugpie’s Bandcamp page gives you the lyrics. The second verse is chocked full of stalking terror and malice “Smell the stench, Something’s near, Lumbering. Coming for you, Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, No escape, The Swamp is coming to get you”.

This is an EP that screams, literally, to be replayed and replayed. With each listen you peel back another layer to reveal some very clever compositions and inventive playing. The Swamp, and Slugpie, are coming to get you. I just hope you’re ready when they do!"

"French three piece Slugpie have just released a Demo of four of the nastiest sludge punishments that we’ve heard all year, and we mean sludge in its heaviest, choking sense. Like a lot of today’s sludge bands, Slugpie has roots embedded into Blues and the grooving tones underpin the fuzzy claustrophobic riffs, especially on a track like ‘Mojo Drown’. The vocals come out like Dopethrone with a sore throat, and they’re as scary as they are addictive.

Slugpie are everything we like about Sludge in 2016: thrashingly fast and doomily slow, suffocating and relentless riffing, and heavy and nasty as hell! I need a shower. "
