A longer Slowbleed to come

Posted in Records on December 10, 2021

Creator-Destructor will release A Blazing Sun, The Fiery Dawn, the upcoming debut from California-based metallic hardcore band Slowbleed, on Jan. 14.

Based in Santa Paula, the band formed in 2017 and has two EPs and multiple singles to their name, leading up to their first full-length.

The lead single is “No Shepherd (Of Wolves),” with vocalist Jon Caytion sharing 'No Shepherd…' is one of my favorites on the record, kind of sitting in the middle ground of the heavy spectrum. I wanted to write something as unholy as that opening riff. The lyrics are blasphemous good fun and humorously un-Christian. The cover art says it all. We let some obvious influences shine through on this one. This song came early in the writing of the record, and I can’t wait anymore to play it live; it’s just absolutely crushing, and I hope fills rooms with bad vibes."
