Slimelord, England’s most peculiar Death Metal oddity, have assembled from the subterranean depths a savage yet hallucinatory tale on their debut full length ‘Chytridiomycosis Relinquished’. The quest log intertwines with the more extraordinary elements of geology, ancient myths, world history, environmentalism and fantasy. A concept as deftly detailed and complexly bizarre as the music itself, Slimelord emerges from the shallows with a perplexingly delightful weirdo ripper of supernatural horrors and idiosyncratic dirge.
Following on from several lauded EP releases of swampy Death & Doom strangeness, on ‘Chytridiomycosis Relinquished’ Slimelord are at their most blisteringly Death Metal yet in terms of speed and heaviness. The humongous riffing coupled with their established pedigree for summoning dreamy zoned-out repetitions and improvised unorthodoxy is built upon layered effects pedals and even field recordings to add an atmosphere of extreme density and eccentric mythos creation, resulting in total immersion within the murk.
With Brad Moore’s cinematic and uncanny visual landscapes bringing Slimelord’s surreal saga into vivid reality, and additional story layers beyond the lyrics included in the release, ‘Chytridiomycosis Relinquished’ presents an enormous progression of musical composition and production value. A fully formed operatic fantasy adventure in all respects, Slimelord’s comprehensive musical and aesthetic vision penetrates like a fungus into the substrate upon which it feeds.

My coworker just filed a formal complaint against me for playing this
SLIMELORD & WORM should team up and fight crime.
This is what Technical Death Metal should be like🔥🔥🔥
Bufffffff, this goes hard. Like being on acid walking in the mud, cave sound, almost avant garde parts, dissonances,... AOTY contender.
Sweet Jesus this album was incredible.
If it has Brad Moore artwork you know it's going to be filthy
obsessed with this album lately. super refreshing. from the artwork, to the production, to the writing, everything here is perfect. its only a few months into 2024 but this will no doubt be a top metal record of the year for me.
I just smoked some pot and I'm a minute and a half in but mmmhhhhmmmm 🤘🤘 About to go on a journey with this one. Where's my beer!
We love our SLIMELORD, don’t we folks
OUUUUUUHHHHH MY GEESE WERE WAITING FOR THIS ONE
I dig this new-fangled adult contemporary. I can't wait to tell the Mrs.
Dang, who knew frog metal could be so good
Started off this album thinking it was just another dissonant progressive death metal album, but it really started slapping in the second half. I see myself listening to this a lot.
This album slays so fucking hard. I love that it has such filthy, repulsive, dissonant and blood-caked sounds and at the same time luscious psychedelia and melodies. I heard like 3-4 minutes of The Beckoning Bell and pre-ordered immediately. I'm thrilled the whole album is as much of a joy to listen to 🖤💜💚
John Riley - Fretless bass, detuned piano :D This is going to be a banger...
Made me think Gorguts initially. Insane 🔥💚🔥
Bought the CD just recently. Track 4 is soooooo good. Loving the whole thing! Hail the Toad! Thanks :)
Big up Yorkshire. Excellent album!
Absolutely BRILLIANT album. BRAVO!!!!!
What a cool ass album, those last 4 minutes of Heroic Demise especially. The end of all ends.
Who up playin' with they slime?
Excelente álbum 10/10.
Quality bass.
A beautiful rotting amphibian symphony.
Holy shit I zoned out hard during that first tune
Been waiting on this one, esp' after seeing they were playing w/ Coffin Mulch. Loving this album.
This was pretty fucking dope.
As soon as I heard The Beckoning Bell I pre-ordered this record and a long sleeve. Expectations were high to begin with, but this is some of the filthiest, most interesting music I have ever heard. Splayed Mudscape is my favorite so far.
So good! 👌
i think one of the tom drums is a dead animal
heck yeah
I know the year is young but this, Suffer and Become, and Sparagmos are definite top 10 material for the year.....at least for me.
Finally here! Great!
would love to see you guys play with slugdge.
Cant wait for this one to drop.
Great album. Great band.
Masterpiece.
Best Metal album of 2024. \m/
Holy moly
great !!!
This is really good
Lovely
Yay
This is just so lovely
\m/@@\m/
Yessirrr
Damn this is filthy!
Deepest filthiest low guttural: *GEEEEEEEEEEEEESE*
YES!!!!!!111!!!!11
⚔️rips⚔️
Reminds me a bit of Slugdge
These are some big ass sounds, in the best way. Like a whole messy universe of tone.
Def on my AOTY list.
First time hearing them, sounds so SICK ! Reminds me of Imperial triumphant
Очень прикольно мощно и необычно.10

Someone get them, Portal, and Primitive Man on the same bill.
My ADHD appreciates this shit lol
A lil grind core ehhh
i like the gloomy parts of this record
Just dropped money to buy the LP and CD. I get why it's done this way now, venues steal merch sales, but if I purchase the LP shouldn't I get a digital copy? I don't blame the bands at all but wtf.
Nothing to do with venues. It's because redemption rates are only around 10%. Not worth the cost / extra work to include anymore especially when anyone buying direct from the label gets one automatically emailed already after checkout. Anyone who buys elsewhere can email for one if they have proof of hard copy purchase.
The word doom to describe this album doesn't fit entierely. Doom is a subgenre of death but funeral is a subgenre of doom. Of course, this is not funeral doom, but the music presented here needs its own tag under the doom moniker like funeral doom I think. Chaotic doom, maybe? Even this doesn't correspond properly but perhaps it does mostly, I guess.
