Stoner rock lovers in Sydney and Melbourne are in for a super heavy night out next May, when Norwegian riff machine Slomosa land in Australia for the very first time.
Hailing from Bergen where mountains cover nearly two-thirds of Norway’s epic tundra landscapes, the multi award-winning quartet—Benjamin Berdous (vocals/guitar), Marie Moe (bass/vocals), Tor Erik Bye (guitar) and Jard Hole (drums)—channel the icy sprawl into their self-coined “Tundra Rock”. It’s dessert-rock crunch blended with grunge hooks and glacial Nordic power, inspired by Kyuss, Nirvana, Sleep and the frozen north— the kind of live show that shakes the ground under your feet and leave your ears ringing.
Already praised by music tastemakers around the world and championed by icons like Helmet, Mastodon and Alkaline Trio, Slomosa’s rise kicked off with their 2020 self-titled debut that racked up over 10 million streams for tracks like “Kevin” and “In My Mind’s Desert.”
They’ve scorched stages at Hellfest and Alcatraz Open Air, dropped thunderous singles like “Cabin Fever” and “Battling Guns” (An anti-war anthem based off of Ben’s Algerian/Palestinian roots) and now unveiled Tundra Rock—a darker, more melodic evolution that’s turning heads across the heavy metal listeners.
