NEWS: Slug Gore begin a new saga…

Cover artwork, a track listing and pre-orders might not be ready as yet but that hasn’t stopped Italian Moshgrind trio Slug Gore from announcing that they have completed work on a new EP. Titled “Pillars of Eco-Terror Saga“, it has been scheduled for a 25th September release via Time To Kill Records with “Scalpel” the first single.

A concept release inspired by the legend of the Four Symbols, reimagining the four mythological beasts of Eastern tradition through the lens of the kaiju universe. Across the EP, iconic creatures such as Barugon, Iris, Jiger and Gamera embody new interpretations of the Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger and Black Tortoise, merging ancient symbolism with the imagery of giant monsters. That’s all wrapped in their signature blend of Hardcore intensity and Extreme Metal weight…

The band commented: “With ‘Scalpel’ we drew inspiration from Iris, the Kaiju that represents the Vermilion Bird. We have always been fascinated by its evolution, the way its body transforms, and above all by the lethal precision of its tentacles. We wanted to translate that same feeling of surgical violence into music: something fast, cold and calculated, striking with the precision of a scalpel. The song was born from this very image, attempting to transform its tension, brutality, and atmosphere into a direct and relentless sonic assault“.
