US southern/stoner metal act Broadslab releases new single »Keep On Rollin’« from upcoming album »The Fifth Essence«

Raleigh, North Carolina based southern/stoner metal band Broadslab premiere new single »Keep On Rollin’« taken from their upcoming album, »The Fifth Essence«, set to release on June 26th, 2026 via Electric Desert Records.

“This week’s Monday Single Discovery drops into the riff-worn dust with Broadslab and their first single, »Keep On Rollin’«. A crushing first taste from »The Fifth Essence«, this track rides a thick groove through desert haze, heavy blues swagger, and low-end muscle. If you dig underground heavy, doom, stoner rock, and riff-driven obscurities – you’re in the right place.” — Electric Desert Records

“Hellacious southern stoner soul metal from Raleigh, NC.”

Hailing from the dusty outskirts of Benson, North Carolina, Broadslab combines the sounds of soulful and psychedelic mid-twentieth century rock and roll with today’s dark themes and southern fried heavy metal sounds to create a powerful new sound that can only be described as southern soul metal. Broadslab take their name from a region known worldwide for its vast history in moon shining and bootlegging, and their music and live shows evoke the tales from their ancestors of high speed midnight runs and hair raising run-ins with the man.

The only thing more diverse than the members of Broadslab and their origins, is the music created when the six members get together. From the soft beauty of »Brown Zeppelin« to the electrifying organ on »Reaper’s Eyes«; from the rhythmic pounding of »Dope Martyr« to the powerful vocals and intense drum work of »Nine Circles«, no one knows where a Broadslab show will end up. Only one thing is for certain, be prepared to be blown away. In a time where everything is candy coated with gimmicks and songs are full of breakdowns and flashy video-game guitar sounds; Broadslab bring music back to its truest and purest form… songs full of soul with meaning behind the mayhem.
