A furious obsession, With questioning the past, Shoulders carried nations, persevering life to the last One ignored the wisdom given, Now she chokes on its ash The sickness runs rampant, The venom now has been cast A futile...attempt to save a brother, Eternal...anger now shrouds the past Deprived by social aspects Failure infects the mind You were the one who choose not to care The sickness grows, Many die. Swollen by this gluttony The shoulders now... Collapse The sickness runs rampant, The venom now has been cast A futile...attempt to save a brother, Eternal...anger now shrouds the past For those who are blind Things comes at a price The guilt and shame For life For those who are blind Things comes at a price The guilt and shame The blind are dead… Now you are a useless traitor Who knows of nothing else Thinking that it's all forgotten You shall face your fate! Now! For those who are blind Things comes at a price The guilt and shame For life For those who are blind Things comes at a price The guilt and shame The blind are dead…

about

‘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

_________________________________________

*technically 7 tracks of unrelenting riffage and an interlude of relenting riffage
