Friday Morning Metal – Slough Feg – Tiger! Tiger!

Well I just found out Slough Feg, standard bearers of folk space metal*, are playing the almighty Shakedown in a couple weeks. Along with Skelator and TBA, the show should be a hoot. And it’s six bucks. I’m not sure how that’s economically feasible, but it is wicked awesome they’re coming up to perform.

Here’s a live performance of them out in Poland. This is going to rule.

*I don’t know if they really are folk space metal. But they have a kickass folk metally sound and play songs about outer space. So there ya go.

Friday Morning Metal – Slough Feg – Digital Resistance

Back in days of yore, I scoped out Slough Feg and/or The Lord Weird Slough Feg. Traveller and Atavism, and for some reason I didn’t like them. I think it was because I was stupid, because Digital Resistance is a great album, full of like… weird space folk metal. The vocals on the album are interesting, with harmonies from time to time, but not necessarily trying to blow your brains out with falsetto and whatnot.

The title track for the album has great drums and a kind of mid to late 70s stripped down vibe. The song leads with drums during most of it, and they have a kind of haunting, tribal feel to them. And here it is. For you to listen!
