If your May plans don’t already involve getting your face melted by desert riffs in a sweaty room… here’s your sign.
Norwegian stoner rock heavyweights Slomosa are officially touching down in Australia this month for their first-ever headline tour – and they’re bringing their self-coined “Tundra Rock” chaos with them.
Slomosa – ‘Battling Guns’
Yep, after years of building a global rep as one of the most exciting names in modern heavy rock, the Bergen quartet are finally giving Aussie fans a taste of their icy, groove-laden sound, hitting Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane across a tight three-date run.
For the uninitiated, Slomosa’s whole deal is this beautifully weird fusion of desert rock swagger and Nordic frostbite – think Kyuss-style riff worship colliding with grunge hooks and a bit of punk bite for good measure. It’s heavy, it’s catchy, and it absolutely rips live.
And that live reputation? It’s not just hype. The band have been steadily levelling up on the global circuit, earning nods from heavy hitters like Helmet and Mastodon, smashing festival stages across Europe, and even jumping on US runs with the likes of Alkaline Trio. Safe to say: they’re not arriving quietly.
Their latest album Tundra Rock has only added fuel to the fire, with critics praising its “intoxicating mix of stoner and grunge” and undeniable energy – the kind of record that feels tailor-made to go off in a packed room.
Which is exactly what Aussie fans are about to get.
The run kicks off in Melbourne at Max Watts on Friday May 22, before rolling through Sydney’s Crowbar on May 23 and wrapping up in Brisbane on May 24 – short, loud, and very likely sweaty.
So if you like your riffs big, your grooves filthy and your gigs feeling like a full-body experience, you might wanna lock this one in.
