Furnace(ep) with vocals and new material

The instrumental ep known as Furnace, that I was basically through with, will now have vocals in it.  Thanks to Eric Baker for writing the lyrics and yelling his face off.  We will be releasing each song(casually) one at a time.  Once all the songs are finished, the entire ep will be available to download for free on the bandcamp page.  Until then, here is the opening song blast furnace with vocals. blast furnace

New album! For a year or more, I've been working on a new full length concept album for sloss.  The concept of the album takes place in Sloss mine number 2 involving a convict laborer. More info soon as the concept story is fully developed. The new material will be heading down a darker/angular path, with little to no grind ,and more experimentation.  The previous ep was written solely off of what was fun to play, while the new stuff is more concerned about telling a story.  One of the main things that'll be missing from the new Sloss material will be the programmed drums. I'll be handling drumming duty......as I continue to learn them.

Furnace EP

This is the first release for SLOSS.  It's a 17 minute EP, with a loose concept based around Sloss Furnace in Birmingham, Alabama.  This project was started as a doom project, but evolved into a whatever  I want to play project.  This EP is kind of all over the place because it started doom then went in the grind direction then death metal then I stopped caring and just wrote an EP that was fun to play.  It currently is instrumental because the vocalist backed out.  I might add vocals to this, I might not.  I don't really care about this EP at this point.  I'm already moving in new directions and hopefully every album will be different. 

The album can be downloaded for free here: http://sloss.bandcamp.com/album/furnace-instrumental-version
