The French trio SLIFT is living proof that you don't strictly need corpse paint to achieve total sonic annihilation. This is a cosmic odyssey that launches from gritty garage roots and terminates in an entirely different galaxy. Hailing from Toulouse, they have taken the legacy of space rock titans like Hawkwind, run it through a particle accelerator, and wrapped it in layers of the thickest fuzz imaginable. While their viral KEXP session opened the doors to the world, it was the monumental albums Ummon and the more recent Ilion that cemented their status as visionaries.
SLIFT's music is built on hypnotic, krautrock repetition designed to induce a trance, only to subsequently tear you apart with explosions of pure metallic energy. It is a fusion of prog-rock complexity and punk ferocity, where guitars sound like shuttles taking off and the rhythm section crushes bones with machine-like precision. Live, this is a transcendental experience—a visual and sonic trip that rivals the intensity and volume of any black metal act. Get ready to have your face melted off.
