Ten Ton Slug plays riff-laden sludge from the west Ireland and has shared stages with Black Label Society, Crowbar, Corrosion of Conformity, Conan, Memoriam, Jinjer, and more.
‘Colossal Oppressor’, the highly-anticipated debut album by Ten Ton Slug, releases May 1st 2024.
–
‘Colossal Oppressor’ is the bands first full-length release and represents a natural progression from previous releases with an increased focus on songwriting and dynamics, yet still featuring the trademark huge riffs and pummelling drums that have come to characterise the sound of the Slug.
Featuring guest vocals from Memoriam/Bolt Thrower frontman Karl Willetts on the track ‘Brutus’, ‘Colossal Oppressor’ represents five years of work distilled into 8 tracks of unrelenting riffage.*
This release was part funded by the Galway City Arts Office
Dedicated to the memory of Dessie Harrington

This life is nothing
But body and blood
Arising storms gather
The waters swell
Plant your feet
Take a brace
Hold your ground
A burning in your chest
Ancient ways prevail
Gaining strength to kill
Oath to yourself fulfilled
You are your own god now
In the face of giants
A drive to succeed
A fight you cannot quit
Your mind you’re conquering
Live by your own command
Your inner strength unfolds
Crawl back into life
Awaken to a new blood once more
Face the monster
Beat it to the earth
Summon your power
More forward
Ancient ways prevail
Gaining strength to kill
Oath to yourself fulfilled
You are your own god now
Iron will…
Iron will…
Iron will…
You are your own god now
