I The Lord Weird Slough Feg sono in studio con il produttore/ingegnere Justin Weis per registrare un nuovo EP, sequel del loro leggendario album del 2003 “Traveller”. L’EP verrà pubblicato ad inizio 2025 tramite Cruz Del Sur Music. Mike Scalzi ha dichiarato:
“I wanted to do an EP that was around 20 minutes of music rather than a full-length album, I have struggled with coming up with fresh-sounding music for years. After ten albums, a lot of metal riffs really fall into a rut and I never want to do dull, filler songs to complete albums. So, I just sort of ‘cut off the flab.’ After all, most records have about five good songs (if that) on them, and then a bunch of time-consuming filler—you know, long guitar solos and boring atmospheric doom parts. Spare me. I’ll cut off the flab and give people just the juicy stuff. Hopefully, this EP delivers that: Lean and mean heavy metal without all the fluff.”
Scalzi promette che l’EP continuerà la storia di “Traveller”:
“For some strange reason, the original ‘Traveller’ game adventures often contain ecological and plant-life themes, it’s interesting and not traditionally the focus of sci-fi. I love it. So, we had spores on the last one. This time, we have Ephemeral Glades from the ‘Mission On Mithril Traveller’ adventure from 1980. I used this setting because I love the idea of ephemeral plant life on an ice planet that only blooms when the temperature goes above freezing. It’s a great place for a hybrid dog man to hide, but I don’t want to give away too much…”
Per quanto riguarda la direzione musicale, le nuove canzoni sono “più strane” dell’originale “Traveller”:
” The band left a lot of ideas on the cutting room floor, but through the process of elimination, they emerged with five songs. “We were happy with ‘New Organon’,” says Scalzi. “It took ages to write the songs because we ditched so many mediocre ideas along the way. We did the same with this one. I was coming up with riffs throughout the pandemic, but very few will make it onto the record—only the ones that continue to excite us, which isn’t that many, which is another reason why it’s an EP.”
