Slomatics - Atomicult (2025) [Official Digital Download]

It starts softly. “Obey Capricorn,” the opener of Slomatics’ eighth album, Atomicult, begins with drummer/vocalist Martin Harvey all by his lonesome. “Behold: the moon, the sun, the stars, the sky,” Harvey sings with comparatively soaring cleans that bands in the sludge doom domain don’t typically employ. But, and this is key, they’re not completely clean: there’s an effect on Harvey’s voice, one which seems to suppress the clarity, like the ghostly audio residue left on a tape that hasn’t been thoroughly scrubbed. The effect compacts the normally strong vocals into something soft, quiet, hushed; a voice far off in the distance. Subsequently, if you’re already familiar with the downtuned sonic boom of the 21-year-old Belfast, Ireland trio, you might figure that low level is a new mixing choice, so you turn the volume up. That’s precisely what Slomatics wants you to do. Bang.
