Slumdweller

**Slumdweller** is a Boston-based blackened death metal project masterminded by multi-instrumentalist Tyler Scozzari. Known for its raw, industrial-tinged soundscapes and dystopian storytelling, Slumdweller crafts chaotic, atmospheric music that feels like a soundtrack to a crumbling cyberpunk wasteland. The project’s releases, like *Chapter I: The Everlasting Fog* and *Serpent City*, weave bleak narratives through relentless riffing, eerie samples, and guttural vocals, blending frostbitten black metal with mechanical, sludge-heavy textures.

Scozzari’s work under the Slumdweller banner—including recent drops like *The Distortionist* and the *Prequel I: Grim Desires* EP—often features collaborations with guest vocalists and musicians, amplifying its apocalyptic vibe. With demo tracks like *Forests of November* and serialized “chapter” releases, the project thrives on a DIY ethos, sharing its grim tales of decay and rebellion via Bandcamp and streaming platforms. Think of it as a hybrid of lo-fi ferocity and sci-fi gloom, perfect for fans of unpolished, concept-driven extremity.
