Slabdragger is a UK-based band that has been delivering bone-crushing riffs and a colossal sound since their formation in the South London scene in 2008. The power trio, composed of Sam Thredder on guitar and vocals, Yusuf Tary on bass and vocals, and Jack Newnham on drums, melds elements of sludge metal, doom metal, and stoner rock, crafting a sound that's as heavy and oppressive as their name suggests. Their music is characterized by monolithic guitar work, pummeling drum patterns, and a formidable vocal presence that weave together to create a dense, foreboding atmosphere.

The group first gained attention with their debut album "Regress," a sludgy juggernaut released in 2011 that garnered acclaim in the underground metal community for its raw intensity and powerful sonic landscapes. Following up with "Rise of the Dawncrusher" in 2016, Slabdragger affirmed their status as masters of epic songwriting with expansive tracks that ventured into even heavier and more psychedelic territories. Between official releases, the band has kept fans sated with other offerings like "Evacuate!" and "Phobos," showcasing a relentless evolution in their sound. Their latest work, "Mothers of Beef and the Magic of Invention," once again pushes boundaries, exemplifying their ability to blend complex arrangements with sheer, unbridled heaviness, securing Slabdragger’s spot on the map of underground metal giants.
